Social Sciences - History / Renaissance period
German term or phrase: Laubenhäuser
Hello again,

Apparently these are a feature of the Renaissance town of Zamosc, Poland, but I can't find a definition anywhere. Anyone know what type of houses these are? Again, no room for footnotes - it's a script!

Many thanks,

Hilary.

I don't know the Polish town you mention, but you find such Renaissance houses in many Italian and some southern German towns.

dacha


Explanation:
Just guessing, but that's the image it conjures, the kind of small house you might find on a Schrebergarten.

but this is probably wrong
cf the panoramic image of the Rynek Wielki (Great Market Square)
http://www.demel.net/panos/zamosc-2.html
and
\"Laubenhäuser mit kunstvoll ausgestatteten Fassaden rahmen den Marktplatz ein\" (http://www.polish-online.com/polen/staedte/zamosc.php)

old town houses with arcades


Explanation:
so sehen die Häuser in Zamosc aus:
http://www.polandtrade.com.hk/img/poland/zamosc4.jpg
In der englischen Fassung steht einfach "town houses", aber ich würde das mit den Arkaden noch dazu schreiben
Es sind alte Stadthäuser mit Arkaden
Laubenhaus werden auch alte Fachwerkhäuser mit einem Vorbau genannt, es muss keine Arkade sein - in deinem Fall ist es aber ein Haus mit Arkaden
