Issue 21, table 244 / title on the table: to the great storehouse. / original description: from the present bethmann street an old building can be seen which is bordered by the red cross lange (named dieterich's lane up to the 17th century) to one and the rose lane to the other side. The estate was owned by the patrician family to the wedel in the 14th century, being court and garden at that time, and was acquired by the family knoblauch later. Nowadays the ensemble of four wings frames a courtyard with the main entrance at the bethmann street via a portal overbuilt by a storey. The massive structure of this broad portal (no. 243) is made up of diamond ashlars in both its two pillars as well as in their terminal spandrel panels. Two lion heads as part of a perch are visible above the portal to the right. In the courtyard primarily the almost completely preserved northern wing leaps to the eye: on a simple ground floor of stones rests a storey in timber frame construction with exquisite wooden ornamentation (no. 244). A small cartouche with the date 1587 is put up above the door. The aforementioned wooden ornamentation is common in its upper part. The small dormer of the relatively high roof also displays rich wooden ornamentation. H. S. Langenbach, a former owner of the estate, had the facade of the northern being restored by the architect otto lindheimer. Date: 1901.
