Eicke's House, Renaissance timber-framed house in Einbeck, Germany.

The Eicke House displays double jettying construction and features detailed wooden carvings across two facades depicting religious figures and educational themes.

Built in 1612, the house received its name from Hermann Eicke, a wool merchant who purchased the property in 1877 for his business operations.

The facade contains intricate carvings representing the seven Liberal Arts, planet gods, the five senses, and multiple biblical figures including Jesus Christ.

The building houses the regional tourist information center and underwent a complete restoration in 2008, earning the German Award for Timber-Framing in 2009.

Each carved female figure on the facade represents different themes, from celestial bodies to intellectual pursuits, forming an educational narrative through architecture.
