Only the magnificent half-timbered house from 1629 in Langgasse remains from the former Rhenser tanners' quarter. It was built by Abraham Schmitz, known as Löhr; "Löhr" is derived from "Lohgerber." With its beautiful gable facade, the house is considered one of the most significant examples of Rhineland-Franconian timber construction from the Renaissance. Today, it is cramped between the embankment and the historic Rheintor at Langgasse 41 in the area formerly referred to as "Lohloch" by the mill stream. There, residential and commercial buildings of the Rhenser tanners were concentrated. Most of the buildings in "Lohloch" were demolished during the construction of the railway between 1858 and 1861. Today, trains pass closely by the first floor of the half-timbered house at one-minute intervals. The inscription on the plaque in the window bay begins with the plea: "O God, turn my misfortune to a blessed end" – written 230 years before the construction of the railway.
