The Spieker is one of the oldest buildings in Herscheid, a fact that adds to its historical significance. The name 'Spieker' translates to 'storage', which is indicative of its original purpose. This building was used by the church to store natural goods, making it a significant part of the town's history.
Architectural Design of Spieker
The Spieker is a unique architectural marvel, consisting of a stone house from the 15th/16th century and a half-timbered annex built around 1820. The two parts of the building are offset from each other, as the structure was built on older foundations with this arrangement. This unique design adds to the charm and historical value of the building.
Local History Museum in Spieker
The local history museum within the Spieker extends over both parts of the building and spans three exhibition floors. This allows for a comprehensive display of the town's history and culture, making it a must-visit for anyone interested in learning more about Herscheid.
