Spitzen Gebel, Gothic building in Mitte, Germany
Description
Spitzen Gebel is a Gothic townhouse with pointed gables and projecting bay windows located at Hinter dem Schütting 1 in Bremen. The structure displays typical medieval architecture with distinctive features that reflect handcraft traditions of its era.
History
The structure was built around 1400 and underwent major reconstruction in 1590. It suffered significant war damage in 1944 and was fully restored in 1950 by architects Herbert Anker and Bernhard Wessel.
Culture
The building served as a wine house and butcher shop before becoming an office for piano movers in 1913. These workers have shaped the place's identity and its special role in the neighborhood.
Practical
The building is located at Bremen's marketplace and is typically accessible during visiting hours. Visitors should note that opening times vary by day and may change on Werder Bremen home game days.
Did you know?
Piano movers developed their own tradition of hiding schnapps in lanterns, which led to the creation of the signature drink 'Sluk ut de Lamp'. This beverage is still served from decorative lamps today, a remnant of the workers' creative past.
