Big Barn
House 32
House 32
Who would expect to find a large field barn in the middle of a large city, and from the early 18th century at that? Characteristic are the two passageways with their four large gates, two on the east and two on the west side. The farm wagons loaded with hay, straw or grain could drive in at the front, be unloaded and drive out again at the back, two at a time. This was highly efficient and quite typical of the practically gifted Pietists of Halle.
Even though we have adapted the building for cultural and educational purposes, the barn character has been preserved inside. The ever-popular games house will move back into the ground floor, a meeting place for young people, but also for families, who can try out international games together here.
