Telling a fairy tale again? Turn back time - for the sake of this once beautiful house?!That's what I was asked when I raved to a dear friend about this very special piece of jewelry that was around 300 years old. When looking at the pictures, it will probably be clear to anyone who is interested what is meant.This is a very striking and historic house. A building that one would like to listen to could tell from its long and exciting history. It must have originally been built as a manor and used as a courthouse from 1851. Up until 1878, for example, it was customary for the Count von Stolberg to inspect the judicial officials, which changed after a judicial reform in 1879 and the building became a district court. During this time, four prison cells were created in the courtyard, which are said to have been used later as the municipal archive.After the district court in Heringen was attached to the court in Nordhausen, it was dissolved at this location in 1943 and the building became a residential building. The once magnificent courtroom is said to have been used as a classroom at the school in Heringen until 1951 and must have been divided in the years that followed, which the course of the stucco on the ceiling suggests.This part of the building was then used as a medical practice with private living quarters by the local general practitioner. The now very overgrown garden with a dilapidated greenhouse and swimming pool must have been laid out and shaped by him.The building itself has remained largely unchanged since it was last used. In other words, the current owners have partially started to carry out some of the necessary demolition work, have preserved characteristic details that are worth preserving, but have not yet changed the house through modernization or renovation measures. The last and probably original floor plans, the old wooden doors and floorboards, as well as parts of the stucco ceilings and ornaments are largely still there. For experts and lovers of this architecture, there are certainly good prerequisites for being able to restore the existing building to an attractive and usable state.In addition to the spacious living rooms, the attic and roof truss are a really impressive construct made of wood, space and time. An atmosphere that inevitably evokes memories of the children's film "Heidi" and her time in Frankfurt. Up here, the division of the house, which took place at some point, can also be easily understood, as well as a promising view of the surroundings, over the neighborhood roofs.Regarding the garden, idyllic - is perhaps an appropriate paraphrase, also overgrown over time, but much more important - it is large, has a reasonable size of approx. 2300 m² for this once magnificent property and reveals a well thought-out, park-like structure .The attentive reader has certainly noticed that the half of the building offered here was originally part of a "big whole", formed a unit and was divided roughly in the middle over the course of history and acquired by different owners. These different owners are now willing to sell the halves of the building separately, so that there is also the possibility of giving the property back into one hand.Individual monument as well as part of the monument ensemble "Street of Unity" (monument designation according to § 2 Para. 4 ThürDSchG "characteristic streetscape")
