Osnabrück stone works. Building history study of a complex secular architecture of the late High Middle Ages
Carolin Sophie Prinzhorn, Altenbücken
In the Westphalian city of Osnabrück, quarry-stone rear buildings are referred to as "Steinwerke", which are the oldest parts of the city's residential buildings dating back to the 13th century and reflect the building and residential culture of the high medieval city. The rear houses formed a two-part house complex together with a Low German plank house facing the street. Uniquely in German secular architecture, the Osnabrück stonework in the attic was covered with a stone barrel vault, creating a completely closed, fireproof shell.
