Pfründnerhäuser

The Pfründnerhäuser features exposed wooden beams intersecting with white-painted walls, forming a traditional German construction pattern across multiple connected buildings.

These houses, part of Essen's architectural heritage from previous centuries, demonstrate the regional building techniques that preceded modern construction methods.

The buildings represent North Rhine-Westphalia's traditional carpentry methods, where craftsmen created durable structures using local materials and time-tested techniques.

Located at coordinates 51.427, 7.0093, the Pfründnerhäuser is accessible through Essen's public transportation system and open for exterior viewing year-round.

Each timber frame in the Pfründnerhäuser contains specific joint configurations that reflect the construction practices of North Rhine-Westphalia's master builders.
