The elaborately profiled and pierced portal bears on the lintel the professional sign of fishermen in the form of two crossed fish between hooks and backed by leaf ornament. On both sides the inscription and date FB (Franz Becker) and AL (Anna Löwenbrück) 1739.
The portal proves that the Staden was the fishermen's quarter and testifies to their self-confidence. The two-part door 19th century."
