Das vornehme Danziger Wohnhaus der Barock- und Rokokozeit entwickelte einen durchaus bodenstandigen Typus des Hauseinganges, den sog Beischlag. In der warmen Jahreszeit spielte sich ein gut Teil des hauslichen Lebens auf diesen Freiterrassen ab, ahnlich wie heutzutage auf Balkon oder Veranda, als deren Vorlaufer diese Beischlage angesehen werden konnen. Translation: Gdansk Supplement. The noble Gdansk residential building of the Baroque and Rococo period developed a thoroughly down-to-earth type of house entrance, the so-called supplement. In the warm season, a good part of domestic life took place on these open terraces, similar to the balcony or veranda today, of which these accessories can be regarded as the forerunners.
