Half-timbered house “Zur Post” in Biesfeld

At the end of the 18th century, Wilhelm Frielingsdorf and his wife Anna Sybilla Neuenhaus settled in Biesfeld and built the "Alte Post" inn around 1790. The elongated two-storey half-timbered house, plastered quarry stone base with sandstone covering and gabled roof was built as a typical mountain half-timbered house in a post and beam construction. The beams, struts and supports of the half-timbered structure are painted black and their fanning is painted white. The white door and window reveals, white mullioned windows and green shutters are also typical of the Berg region. The western gable (weather side) is slated.

In the 1920s, the inn was already called "Zur Post". In addition to an inn, it also operated a general store and a post office. The post office became more important when the road from Mühlheim (Cologne) to Wipperfürth was built between 1847 and 1853. In an outbuilding set back on the east side, there was a so-called "Krautpasche" (for the production of apple cabbage) and the post office, which was moved out of the main building into a small annex. The Krautpasche was still in operation until the 1950s. There was a bowling alley on the west side facing the former vicarage. The general store on the right-hand side of the building was closed in 1968.
