Weapon Smith House

(German: Waffenschmiedehaus) The house is the oldest half-timbered house in Hildesheim from the time of the early Renaissance style. It was built in 1548 and the carvings in the facade indicate the profession of the builder. He was a weapon smith and owned a workshop in the cellar.

Probably in the beginning of the 1800s, the house was renovated in which the half-timbering and the base threshold were renewed.

Address: 21 Gelber Stern.
