The Ibach-Haus at Schadowstrasse 52 at the corner of Bleichstrasse 23 in Düsseldorf was built by Alois Ludwig , a representative of Art Nouveau at the Vienna Secession , together with Gottfried Wehling in 1900. The Art Nouveau architecture of the house was remarkable, as can be seen from the special shape and color as well as the building material (glass) of the building. In 1906 the building was acquired by Constans Heinersdorff as Rudolf Ibach Sohn ("world's oldest piano manufacturer"). In 1909 he had the “legendary chamber music hall”, the so-called Ibach hall , built according to plans by the architect Richard Hultsch , which became “ the chamber music center of the city”. The Ibach House was also the meeting and performance venue for the Mozart community, the Immermannbund, the Bach Society and the Society of Friends of Music. In the years 1930 and 1937 the house was still listed in the Düsseldorf address book as the center of a music society: “Society of Music Friends eV Ibach House, Schadowstraße 52”. Before 1926, the building was extensively rebuilt by the Düsseldorf architect Willy Krüger. From 1938 the Ibach house belonged to the Michael Triltsch company, the company of a printer and publisher family from Würzburg. During the air raids in June 1943 , the "cultural center 'Ibach-Haus' in Düsseldorf" was destroyed.

Thomas Lantin - photography

The building was built by Alois Ludwig , a representative of Art Nouveau at the Vienna Secession , together with Gottfried Wehling in 1900 for the photographer Thomas Lantin on the corner property at Schadowstrasse / Bleichstrasse. The special shape and color as well as the material for cladding the facade, such as glass - with the “remarkable attempt to use glass surfaces to clad wall structures on the exterior fronts, were remarkable. With an elegant, modern design, the color effect, artistically animated by the richer color effect, appeals to the external appearance. ”.

The corner house also impressed with the corner solution, which also served a practical purpose: "The figurative end that crowns the interesting corner solution points to the owner's business".

The construction costs were 225,000 marks , 532 marks per square meter and 28 marks per cubic meter of enclosed space.

C. Heinersdorff - Rud. Ibach Sohn: world's oldest piano manufacturer

history

Constans Heinersdorff with his wife Mirette, b. Longo and sons Manfred (* 1903) and Ulrich (* 1905)

In 1900, Constans Heinersdorff (* February 15, 1874, † March 1935), a banker, became a partner in a piano business that he and Rudolf Ibach had founded and that became known as the “world's oldest piano manufacturer”. In 1906 the building at Düsseldorf Schadowstraße 52 was bought for the business. Under the name of "Königliche Hofpianofortefabrik Rudolf Ibach Sohn", court piano manufacturer, Heinersdorff opened the piano shop as "Rudolf Ibach Sohn" in the acquired building, which has since been called "Ibach House". Heinersdorff "together with the piano-building dynasty Ibach laid the foundation stone for Düsseldorf's legendary chamber music hall", the so-called Ibach hall.

Heinersdorff, the oldest active officer in a squadron of a squadron, had married Mirette Longo, who was trained as a pianist at the Milan Conservatory with Appiani. He had five children with her. Two commemorative articles that appeared in the Düsseldorf newspapers on his 85th birthday describe Heinersdorff's life and work and his influence on Düsseldorf culture:

"Heinersdorff [...] built one of the largest companies in the piano industry in the [...] Ibach House, which has become one among many cultural institutions [...] through the inclusion of the Ibach Hall, which is known throughout Germany, and a well-known concert management that still exists today The city's music center. Renowned artists [...] came and went here [...] Ibach-Haus with Ibach-Saal [were] the center and focal point of the musical life of the city of Düsseldorf for many years "

Small Ibach-Saal and Ibach-Saal

On November 12, 1906, the “Kleine Ibach-Saal” (chamber music) built according to plans by the architect Richard Hultsch was inaugurated in the Ibach House with a concert with Willy Rehbergs and Henris Marteaus with violin sonatas by Schumann and Brahms . In 1909 Richard Hultsch was commissioned to build the "Great Ibach Hall", which opened on March 19, 1910. The room destroyed in June 1943 was “ the chamber music center of the city”. It was built for 360 people and designed in the style of neoclassicism.

The "Düsseldorfer General-Anzeiger" (March 21, 1910) describes the inauguration of the Ibach House with its hall, where "world-famous artists" appeared on the podium: Mrs. Elisabeth Boehm van Endert from the Dresden Court Opera sang songs by Schubert, Schumann and Wolf; Professor Karl Friedberg from Cologne played Brahms and Chopin; Russian violinist Profesor Petschnikoff from Petersburg played the Kreutzer Sonata by Beethoven, salon pieces by Saint-seens and Wieniawski; Dr. Otto Neitzel from Cologne played the piano, pianist Aldo Solito de Salis from Milan, his teacher Professor Appiani was present.

The Ibach House was also the meeting and performance venue for the Mozart community, the Immermannbund, the Bach Society and the Society of Friends of Music. In the years 1930 and 1937 the house was still listed in the Düsseldorf address book as the center of a music society: “Society of Music Friends eV Ibach House, Schadowstraße 52”.

The Ibach-Saal had a private box at floor level for the Heinerdorff family and friends, which was accessible from Heinerdorff's apartment. Louise Dumont owned a passe-partout for the private box; The Ophüls family and the painter Eduard von Gebhard were also visitors to Heinerdorff's private box.

Düsseldorf Jews met in the Ibach House in the 1930s to watch films about Palestine - the future center of their lives. In the Jüdische Rundschau on January 21, 1936, the film was The Land of Promise. A Palestine sound film displayed, which was shown in the Ibach Hall from January 25 to 28, 1936. The Zionist film was made by Urim Palestine Film Co. Ltd. Jerusalem made on behalf of Keren Hajessod , Jerusalem, and shown by the Zionist Association for Germany's Palestine Film Agency . In this way, Palestine “increasingly embodied an alternative world to everyday Jewish life [...]. The more hopeless the situation in Germany, the greater the interest in the Yishuv, the Jewish settlement in the British Mandate of Palestine. With Palestine - not only for Zionists - terms such as freedom, self-realization, future were associated. Many Zionists experienced the downfall of the German-Jewish world as the end of an era, the time of assimilation , and the beginning of an old-new community of the Jewish people and the Land of Israel .

Michael Triltsch - printing and publishing

From 1938 the Ibach house at Schadowstrasse / corner of Bleichstrasse was the seat of Michael Triltsch, which was entered in the commercial register on July 15, 1939. The printer and bookseller Triltsch (born August 11, 1902, † 1971) came from a Würzburg printer and publisher family. After the air raids in 1943 Triltsch was not able to put the first printing machines back into operation in the Ibach House, in the small music hall, until 1950.
