History:

On the place of the present house there was the house of the well-known and appreciated aurifaber master Sebastian Hann (1644-17130)
Initially, instead of the balcony there was a bowindow with two columns, an enablement and a gable. During the 1849 battles, there was a fire which destroyed the floor of the house. When it was restored, the upstairs bowindow was replaced by the present balcony
