The Hufnerhaus on the Moorfleeter Deich was built in 1547, making it one of Hamburg's particularly rare architectural treasures. A Hufnerhaus (the house of a farmer) denotes the main building of a residential complex and usually stands with the living area facing the dike. Under the large thatched roof of the house, not only people but also domestic animals found shelter. In 2015, almost five centuries later, the house was uninhabitable, crooked, dilapidated and a demolition permit had already been issued. An initiative by committed heritage conservationists, who founded the non-profit GmbH "Jugendbauhütte" specifically for the rescue of the monument, acquired the house from a private owner and thus prevented its demolition. Thanks to financial support from the German Foundation for Monument Protection (Deutsche Stiftung Denkmalschutz), emergency stabilization work could be carried out quickly. Since then, work has been diligently carried out on the house, which is located directly on the Eichbaumsee. Even if it is rather simply designed on the outside, the Hufnerhaus has high monument value. Over the centuries, it has undergone several structural changes and additions, but large parts of the internal framework date from around 1547. The internal framework is formed by two rows of strong wooden posts (two-post construction), upon which a multi-part beam (the upper horizontal finish of the timber-framed wall or the wooden frame construction) rests. Despite the changes over its history of use, this house is an important monument to the culture of rural estates on Billwerder and an excellent testament to Hamburg's rural history. https://www.hamburg.de/politik-und-verwaltung/behoerden/behoerde-fuer-kultur-und-medien/einrichtungen/denkmalschutzamt/hufnerhaus-am-moorfleeter-deich-821242
