Annual Report for the thirty-sixth year of the association, 1913, Nuremberg 1914, pp. 8-9: An engraving by J. A. Delsenbach from 1715 shows the original condition of the house and the garden, whose boundaries are formed by a row of stone figures, some of which are still preserved today (1913!), allegorizing the four seasons, as well as four putti, united in dancing couples. In one of the three tall residential buildings that now occupy a large part of this garden area, the remains of a magnificent fountain were found in the basement. This fountain is also indicated in the Delsenbach engraving and, renovated by the orator [the architect Friedrich August Nagel], was to be installed last spring in a garden of the Sebald Castle Peace. It depicts a siren and a swan tenderly embracing each other. The owner of the house and garden around 1710 was Isaac Buirette von Oehlefeld, the councilor and resident of the King of Prussia in Nuremberg. Ernst Mummenhoff: The Foundling and Orphanage in Nuremberg ( Part 1 ), in: Mitteilungen des Verein für Geschichte der Stadt Nürnberg 21 ( 1915 ), pp. 57-336, here pp. 58-59: […] it could happen that a high-ranking gentleman, afflicted by more modern sensibilities, took offense at the inconveniences of the herding of foundlings in the immediate vicinity of his house and wanted it stopped. This was the Imperial and Royal Prussian Privy Councillor and Minister Resident von Buirette, who lived in the corner house on the Graben opposite the Neutor. When the herdsman was grazing the foundlings in the square in front of the house in 1734, as was customary here as well as in other places around the city, Mr. Buirette's runner came up and, on his master's orders, indicated to him that he should drive the cattle further from his property. The foundling herdsman replied that he could not obey the order this time; it would have to be forbidden by the authorities, who had more authority in these places. Whereupon the runner gave the herdsman six lashes with a whip he carried. Then, quite unexpectedly, a servant of Mr. Buirette's horseback galloped into the herd, scattered them, and threatened the herdsman that he would shoot him dead, which, according to the report, he would have done if he hadn't been stopped by the gate clerk. This was quite a move for the council, and they acted very decisively and forcefully, even though they were dealing with an Imperial and Royal Prussian resident. First, the gate clerk, the sentry at the New Gate, and all those who had heard or seen the incident were interrogated. The council then had the Buirette garden documents and the injunction issued regarding this garden presented to it, and considered how to proceed further in the matter and what kind of severe punishment should be imposed, since this mischief had already been committed at the guard's house, and whether, given the circumstances, the Buirettes should not be required to sell the garden to a Nuremberg citizen. Meanwhile, however, the operation of the square should continue, and in the event of further unauthorized turbulence, the guard at the New Gate should provide assistance to the shepherd, and the War Office should issue the necessary orders […]." The conflict between the council and Buirette dragged on until 1740, when the council finally instructed the shepherd to "exercise great caution when grazing around the Buirette garden."Feedback geben
