The classicist house in the Allee is a listed secular building in Detmold in the Lippe district ( North Rhine-Westphalia ).
history
In 1800 Princess Pauline, after assessing the building trade at the time, determined "that nowhere was building slower, more expensive and less well than in Detmold". The then government councilor Johann v. Meien. Under his supervision and with a design by Councilor JC Gerke of the house began in March 1818, the construction Allee 1 as a counterpart to the for about 100 years on the other side of the Friedrichstaler channel existing Neustadt . Instead of promoting the client with money as usual, a different method of financing was chosen to relieve the government coffers: 2000 lots of 5 thalers each were given out, the main prize was the house. The building, which was completed in spring 1819, was won by farmer Noltemeyer from Bremke, who did not move into it, but sold it to the Antze council for 5500 thalers.
architecture
The building is a two-storey plastered building with a basement, with ashlar structure , covered by a half-hip roof . At the front there is a double flight of stairs in front of the central axis , on top of it a Tuscan portico with four Doric columns, on top a balcony. The door shows the year 1818. The wrought iron railings on the stairs and balcony date from the construction period, as do the ball-studded gate pillars at the courtyard entrance. The back of the building was changed by subsequent additions.
