Pauls’sches Haus
Pauls’sches Haus stands beside the river as a traditional townhouse within a continuous riverside frontage. Its tall, balanced façade follows the curve of the narrow street and meets neighbouring buildings closely. Evenly arranged windows and a gently sloping roof give the elevation a calm, ordered appearance. Rococo details remain visible across the stone and plaster surfaces.
The building took its present form during a substantial reconstruction in the second half of the eighteenth century. Paul Christoph Scheibler commissioned the work, coming from a family active in the cloth trade. Hermann Pauls acquired the property in 1824, and his family name remains attached to it. The house includes the adjoining numbers one to three and continues to serve the town’s cultural and administrative life.
Since 1921, the city has owned the property and recorded it as monument number 25. Water runs directly beside the walls, while the façade joins the historic street into one uninterrupted line.
