The Abels house is a listed building. It is a half-timbered gable house with a crane house on the east side. Towards the end of the 18th century, the former two-story farmhouse was built.

The inscription on the threshold of the gable triangle reads:

The writings on the threshold beam of the upper floor were preserved:


GOD KEEP IT FROM MISFORTUNE AND BLESS IT WHERE GOD IS NOT WATCHING


ALL WATCHMEN WATCH IN VAIN, AND WHERE HE DOES NOT BLESS


ALL OUR WORK IS IN VAIN


The writing above the entrance door has the following content:


I REINHART BRAUN AND MARIA THERESIA NÉE LEBER
