Markt 6, Renaissance residential building at Market Square, Meissen, Germany

Markt 6 is a three-story residential building on Market Square in Meissen featuring sandstone consoles, blind arches, and profiled window frames. The structure extends with a vaulted cellar up to ten meters behind the street facade and now functions as a hotel.

The core of Markt 6 dates from the 15th century, with building parts up to 1600; a third storey was added in the 18th century. After the Swedish invasion of 6 and 7 June 1637 the house was recorded as "wüst und eingerissen" (deserted and torn down). From 1987 the GDR planned to replace it with a concrete slab building, a scheme stopped by the 1989 Wende; restoration followed after 1991.

The house was a bakery on the ground floor and first floor until 1986, with flats above; the smaller room behind the front room still shows the former black kitchen. The narrow 7 m plot matches the width of the plots laid out around the market at the town's founding around 1250.

The building sits directly on Market Square and is easily accessible on foot. Visitors can view the preserved historical features and clearly visible facade details from the street.

The narrow 7-metre plot matches the width of plots from Meissen's founding around 1250. Behind the market facade, about 10 metres back, a 15th-century cast-masonry vault survives in the cellar; old town views of 1558 and 1602 show a gabled house on this spot, later built over.
