The Broyhan House (Template:Lang-de) is a residential and commercial building constructed in 1576 in Hanover's historic old town (Altstadt). It is the second-oldest preserved half-timbered building in Hanover, and stands on the cellar walls of an earlier building dating to the 14th century.[1] The house is named after the brewer Cord Broyhan who began to live in the house in 1537 and who died in Hanover in 1570.[a]
Location and description
The Broyhanhaus is located at Kramerstraße 24 in Hanover's old town. It is located in a row of historic half-timbered buildings in the immediate vicinity of the Marktkirche.[3]
The building is a typical residential and commercial building from the early days in Hanover. The owners of the property have been stated since 1428. The majority of them were Kramer (merchants) who carried out their trade in the house. From 1537 the brewer Cord Broyhan lived in the house.
The building was examined in 1984 and then restored until 1987. Today the building is used as a restaurant on the two lower floors and in the vaulted cellar and as a residential building on the upper floors. The Broyhanhaus is listed in the list of architectural monuments.
The restaurant is well known for roast suckling pig with Sauerkraut.[citation needed]
