Wedekindhaus, Timber-framed Renaissance house at Market Square, Hildesheim, Germany.
The Wedekindhaus exhibits three prominent front gables, multiple transverse gables, and extensive timber framework on its southern facade facing the marketplace.
Hans Storre, a merchant from a local patrician family, commissioned the construction of this building in 1598 across from the town hall.
The facade features wooden carvings depicting virtues, vices, and liberal arts, including representations of justice, faith, patience, and temperance.
The building currently houses a Sparkasse bank branch and stands near other historical structures in the Market Square of Hildesheim.
Following complete destruction in 1945, the structure underwent reconstruction between 1984 and 1986, maintaining its original Renaissance architectural elements.
