Ahnfeldstrasse 107
The residential building at Ahnfeldstraße 107 in the Düsseldorf district of Düsseltal was built before 1904 by the architect Hermann vom Endt in the material style of reform architecture with economical Art Nouveau decor. The house has not been preserved.
description
The building was three and a half storeys high with a street front of 12.50 m length. The facade was divided into four axes. Three axes were crowned by a gable. The heavily embossed stone facade was stylistically related to that of Endt's office building at Kasernenstrasse 63 . The arched main entrance was in the left axis and continued on the 1st floor in a gabled template. A two-storey bay window dominated the facade.
On the first floor there was the entrance area on the left, which gave access to two rooms on the street front - the master bedroom and the salon. The atrium, the cloakroom, the hall, the living and dining room and the winter garden were also on the ground floor. Upstairs there were two rooms at the front, with one of the rooms being extended by a bay-like extension.
Von Endt developed the floor plan idea further in another residential building: "In the layout of the house at Schäferstrasse 10, architect H. vom Endt has brought about a perfecting of the floor plan of his aforementioned house at Ahnfeldstrasse 107".
The part of Ahnfeldstraße located southeast of Rethelstraße was later renamed Achenbachstraße. Unless the houses were renumbered (like the rest of Ahnfeldstrasse), the property with house number 107 was or is south of the confluence with Herderstrasse opposite Schillerplatz. In the 1920s, the owner and resident of the house at Achenbachstrasse 107 was Ernst Knackstedt (1862–1930), the general director of the steel construction company Hein, Lehmann & Co.
