Paugasse 15

After the three houses on Paugasse were demolished, they were rebuilt in 1975 in almost the same place, using the original façade parts and in almost identical forms. The historic building at Paugasse 15 probably dates back to the early 19th century.

The previous building had already been altered on the first floor and had a larger shop window instead of the right-hand window, but this was "corrected" again during reconstruction. The shutters on the windows were also restored as found.

On closer inspection, you can discover traces of earlier work, such as the suggested elements of a roof hatch for storing goods.

A distinctive feature of the building is its three dormers, the middle one of which is set into the eaves and is the size of a door. Above it, there was originally a beam with a pulley system, allowing goods to be hoisted up and stored in the attic to keep them dry. The door or loading hatch was later partially bricked up and converted into a window. Such architectural details provide insights into how people lived and worked under one roof at that time (see also Rosstr. 54).
