Roten Haus (Est +/-1760) owned by Johann Heinrich Scheibler
Roten Haus (Est +/-1760) owned by Johann Heinrich Scheibler. The Red House in Monschau, a patrician house from the 18th century. In the basement of this house, Spanish merino wool was washed and dyed using lime-free water. Spinning and weaving took place within the pre-industrial publishing system by homeworkers. In this way, the owner Johann Heinrich Scheibler of the Red House proudly told his jealous neighbors that he was "feeding 4,000 people through his factory alone.".
Photo March 1, 2018, Roten Haus (+/-1760) after 258 years in time.

Monschau - Architecture
The popular historical town center has many preserved half-timbered houses and narrow streets have remained nearly unchanged since the 18th century. Very touristy in the high season but outside of this busy period you can still explore the beauty of this beautiful town.
