In the backyard of the property was a shed which the Eichbaums used to dry and store hops.
In 1881 the Eichbaum brothers submitted the plan shown below for "the construction of a
new oast floor and the extension of the barn of Messrs Eichbaum Brothers."
In 1911 Johann Andres and his wife Maria Margarethe Hummel purchased the property from the Eichbaum family.
Shortly afterwards the Hummel family started producing sauerkraut in the back building and opened a grocer's store in the main building in 1912.
It's interesting to note that the Gunzenhausen Casino Society rented their first rooms in the upper floor of the house.
That was in the time from 1802 to 1809 when the City Mayor Gerber, or his widow, owned the house.
The stove still exists in these rooms today.
