Pingelhus, Architectural heritage monument in Aurich, Germany.
Located adjacent to the Ostfriesische Landschaft building, Pingelhus stands as a two-story structure with a gabled roof constructed around 1800 by Conrad Bernhard Meyer.
The building functioned as a dockmaster and freight forwarding facility when the harbor existed where Georgswall stands today, with ships departing for Emden.
The name originates from the Low German word 'pingeln', referring to the bell that rang in the tower to signal ship departures to Emden.
Since 1959, the Heimatverein Aurich manages the building for various events, including traditional East Frisian tea ceremonies organized by the Historical Museum.
The lower floor, which served as storage space, underwent filling during the 1934 harbor reclamation process, transforming the building's original maritime purpose.
