Alter Markt 5, Town house at Alter Markt in Stralsund, Germany

The Wulflamhaus at Alter Markt 5 is a residential building with ornate stone carvings and multiple windows across its typical North German brick facade. The multi-story structure displays the characteristic construction of this medieval harbor city with its densely built marketplace.

Bertram Wulflam, a Stralsund councillor and later mayor, had the house built before 1358 opposite the town hall. Its facade, with pillars of alternating glazed and plain brick, echoes the town hall's decoration and showed the power of one of the city's oldest merchant families. After a late 19th-century repair, Polish conservators carried out a thorough restoration from 1987 to 1991.

The facade's polygonal pillars of alternating glazed and plain brick deliberately echo the town hall opposite, a display of the wealth of the Wulflam merchant family. Inside, 15th-century wall paintings survive, and a two-storey timber-framed Kemlade extends at the rear.

The exterior of the house is accessible year-round and offers a clear view of the medieval architecture. It sits centrally on the marketplace, so visitors can easily see it while walking through the old town.

The two wall openings visible on the front facade are thought to have once held supports for a balcony. Inside, 15th-century wall paintings survive, and the rear two-storey Kemlade timber-framed annexe still shows its original house frame.
