In 1485, Arnold Frese took over this farm, hence the name \"Fresenhof\". The building took on its current appearance after a conversion in 1610 and was extended in 1670 to provide more living space. For a short time in 1853 it was home to the building trade school. Owned by the town since 1938. During the Second World War, the building was used, among other things, as a warehouse for museum goods, until 1968 as the headquarters of the employment office, and temporarily as a youth recreation center.
