Horn - Salon Schöne

Horn - Salon Schöne
Horn (since 1970 part of Horn-Bad Meinberg) was founded by Bernhard III, Edler Herr zur Lippe, after 1230. It was first mentioned in 1248. Horn was located on the old road, that run from Cologne to Hamlin - and today is known as "Bundesstrasse 1" (B1).

Horn got strongly fortified with a surrounding wall and a moat. The castle, was part of this fortification, though it was later used as a kind of retirement home by several widows of the House of Lippe.

Armed conflicts over the city took place in particular during the Soest feud (1444–1449) and during the Thirty Years' War (1618–1648). In 1864, large parts of the city were destroyed in a fire, about 60 houses burnt down including the town hall.
"Salon Schöne" faces the central place in Horn, but is out of business. Maybe too many of the new fashionable "Barber Shops" made it impossible for a conventional hairdresser to survive the competition.

But whoever erected the small, rectangular building must have been very brave, to place this between the traditional houses.
