history
After the death of Abraham Philipp Schuldt, his entire fortune was to be made liquid and used to establish a foundation named after him. The following can be deduced from his will: "The purpose of the foundation is to build small apartments that consist of two to three rooms, a forecourt and a kitchen". The tenants were respectable and innocent people with low incomes, unlike other foundations, which provided inexpensive or rent-free apartments for widows, unmarried women without a job, the elderly and the disabled.
Two-thirds of the construction costs should be paid from the endowment, the last third was by taking up mortgages or Kontrahierungen of bonds to obtain. The interest for it, as well as all fees, administration costs and repairs should be paid from the rental income.
However, the foundation was set up during the founder's lifetime. Schuldt took over the administration of the foundation himself and bought three houses next to each other at the Pilatus Pool for 100,000 marks.
After Schuldt's death, the management of the foundation was transferred to a five-person committee, the chairman of which was the mayor Carl Friedrich Petersen . He was succeeded by Heinrich Frans Angelo Antoine-Feill , who was chairman of the foundation board from October 8, 1892 to April 4, 1901. Since Abraham Philipp Schuldt died childless and the large fortune of the father had to be distributed among various relatives, this was initially the task of the board of directors. In 1895 the foundation stone of a brick building (Block I) was ceremonially laid at the huts. Soon afterwards, Block II was built at the Pilatus Pool. On August 21, 1899, the foundation stone was laid for another building on Neumayerstrasse (Block III). On February 15, 1933, Rudolf Petersen was elected to the board. He remained in office until the end of the Third Reich, although he was considered a " half-Jew " according to the Nuremberg Laws . Some buildings were partially destroyed during the bombing war. After the war, however, reconstruction began. On April 18, 1972, the foundation stone for Block IV on Poolstrasse was laid. There are therefore several older blocks of flats in Hamburg's Neustadt district (Hütten, Pilatuspool, Zeughausstraße, Seewartenstraße, Neumayerstraße and Poolstraße).
