The niche where the document from 1826 was discovered

In apartment 11 (Von Schöbeln) there is a precious document that was discovered during recent restoration work. It dates from 1826 and was signed by the craftsmen who modernized the house at that time.

Translation from German:

Year 1826. During the renovation of the front sitting room, this opening to the upstairs neighbour, which existed as a sign of the undivided ownership of the wall in question, was not bricked up, but merely covered with bricks for the purpose of beautifying the room. The full validity of the right connected with such openings has, therefore, lost none of its force, since the opening must be regarded as open. Present were the master masons and workers: master mason Georg Thiefs, Jakob Teutsch, Thoman Zacharias; master mason: Johann Huber; apprentice: Christian Siegel; workers: Andreas Weber, Imre Josef, Szűts Miklos, Gőntze Janos, Kiss Ignatz and Emanuel Josef.
