Pingelhus, Architectural heritage monument in Aurich, Germany.

Pingelhus is a two-storey building with a hipped roof and a roof turret in central Aurich, once directly on the old harbour. Conrad Bernhard Meyer built it around 1800 for the Treckfahrtsgesellschaft as harbour master's and forwarding building. The present ground floor was formerly the first floor; the storage room below was filled in with the harbour in 1934.

The Treckfahrtsgesellschaft commissioned builder Conrad Bernhard Meyer to erect the building around 1800 as a harbor master's and forwarding office when Aurich's first harbor was laid out. Inland vessels called Schuiten departed from there for Emden. The old harbor was filled in in 1934, and in 1959 a private initiative saved the house from demolition before it was renovated.

The name comes from East Frisian Low German 'pingeln' (to ring): the harbour master rang a bell in the roof turret to announce departures of the inland vessels called Schuiten towards Emden. Since 1959 the Heimatverein Aurich and a folk dance group have used the building as their clubhouse.

The Pingelhus stands in Aurich's centre, a short walk from the old harbour site filled in during 1934. Since 1959 the Heimatverein Aurich and a folk dance group use it as their clubhouse, so the interior is generally seen during their events rather than as an open monument.

The present ground floor was originally the first floor; the storage level beneath it was buried when the old harbour was filled in in 1934. The building was saved from demolition in 1959 through a private initiative and then renovated. Since then it has served the Heimatverein Aurich and a folk dance group as their clubhouse.
