History
The history of the two houses is very different, it was only in the mid-20th century that they were built together and since then have been treated as a single building.
The houses date from the 16th century. The one to the south belonged to the Filstich patrician family, the oldest records mention the goldsmith Stefan Filstich (1565-1644). The two-storey building had a tower at the corner, which made it symmetrical with the Benkner house at the other end of the Cooper Row. His son, Michael Filstich, was town captain and then town judge during the 1688 uprising. His son Michael also served as town judge for several years, and his grandson as rector of the Honterus Grammar School. In the early 19th century the house was owned by the Clompe family.
The owner of the neighbouring house to the north, the Plecker von Pleckersfeld family, also owned three buildings in the Main Square. In 1827, Dr Johann Friedrich Plecker (1780-1850), a town doctor, bought the Clompe (Filstich) house and rebuilt it in Renaissance style.
The Filstich House was the seat of the Vlach Casino from 1835 to 1841, and the Zum weißen Löwen (To the White Lion), the firm and shop of the Hesshaimer family from 1843 to 1948. In 1894 it was bought by the Lutheran parish. The neighbouring Plecker House was the headquarters of the Brassó branch of the Albina Bank centered in Nagyszeben from 1886 to 1948.
