The Erlangen Schoolmaster's House was built as an ecclesiastical foundation right next to the rectory and prebendary's residence. It was situated in the same location – at the corner of Mittlere Schulstraße ('Middle School Street') and Schulstraße ('School Street') where, after the great town fire of 1706, a new schoolhouse was built, which existed until the middle of the 19th century and gave both streets their names.

The Schoolmaster's House was destroyed in the attack by Forchheim troops in 1632. Thanks to the fact that its original construction drawing survives, we know details of its appearance. It was a two-storey corner building of typical Franconian half-timbered construction. Each storey had its own kitchen, allowing the running of two separate households. One storey was occupied by the teacher and his family, the other probably by an assistant teacher or a church employee. Lessons took place in one of the two large rooms heated by cocklestoves – or perhaps both rooms were used as classrooms.

The schoolmaster lived mainly on the school fees paid by his pupils. Apart from this, he received certain goods in kind, as well as a small church salary. In addition, he was paid by the town for specific secondary ecclesiastical duties. The cow stalls contained within the Schoolmaster's House indicate that he also engaged in farming.
