Kuhn Sche's house shines in new splendor after a long renovation!

The Kuhn’sche Haus in the main street of quantities shines in new splendor after extensive renovation work! The crane has disappeared, the scaffolding is broken down - passers -by can now admire the freshly renovated facade. With new dormers in the attic and a harmonious choice of colors in red and green for half -timbering and windows, the client, the Löffler company from Hohentengen, has really worked hard in close cooperation with the monument authority.

But the construction site that was set up a year and a half ago had its pitfalls! "There were a lot of surprises," admits Peter Löffler with a smile. These unforeseen challenges not only led to delays, but also required patience and numerous agreements. Access to the building is now being designed to be barrier -free after the floor of the ground floor has been lowered by 60 centimeters - a precision work that is impressive!

Receive the historical substance

The restoration is a balancing act between modernity and tradition. The monument office has made strict guidelines: ailing wooden beams may only be replaced in pieces, and the old staircase must be preserved. All windows have been extensively restored and to ensure thermal insulation, a modern one was used in front of each historical window. But the biggest challenge is still about: the restoration of the "blue room" with the impressive ceiling painting by the quantity painter Leo Bauer. Here the blue and gold wallpaper is worked particularly complex.

The main street remains closed to facilitate the transport of materials. The construction costs are already higher than planned, and the Löffler company could not have dared the renovation without funding. The six accessible apartments are to be rented out in spring - a ray of hope for the city!
