Römer 2-4-6, Timber-framed monument in Limburg Innenstadt, Germany
Description
Römer 2-4-6 is a three-story timber-framed building with intricate patterns on its gable side and original 13th-century features on its north wall. The structure displays characteristic wooden framework techniques visible across multiple floors.
History
The house dates to 1289 and is one of Germany's oldest surviving timber-framed buildings. A Jewish ritual bath once occupied its basement, reflecting the building's original ownership.
Culture
The building once housed the Center for German Choral Music and collected materials about the region's musical heritage. Visitors today can see how the spaces were arranged for this cultural work.
Practical
Access is direct from Limburg's city center, where the building stands clearly visible among other timber-framed houses. Allow time for a visit to the planned exhibition space that will use multiple floors.
Did you know?
Excavations revealed remnants of an ancient Mikwe in the basement, indicating the building's original Jewish ownership before the expulsion of 1349. These findings make it a rare witness to medieval Jewish life in the city.
