Old town hall Haunstetten
The old town hall Haunstetten (occasionally also Tattenbach-Palais or Käß-Palais ) is the former town hall of the town of Haunstetten , which is now a district of Augsburg .
history
It is not known when the house in today's Tattenbachstrasse was built. It goes back to a grain box (box house) - probably a building for the storage of grain, but also other valuable goods - of the imperial monastery Ortisei and Afra in Augsburg. From 1006 to 1802, i.e. H. until secularization , Haunstetten belonged to the imperial monastery of Ortisei and Afra.
On October 31, 1800, according to Haunstetter official protocol, it was sold by the Reichsstift St.Ulrich und Afra to Mathias Joseph Tlapa (factory owner's son from Grönenbach) and Joseph Anton Keller (janitor's son at St. Stephan women's foundation, Augsburg) from Augsburg, the “a factory company and Cottonwalk on the Oehlbächl in Haunstetten ”. A copy of the contract should be with the deeds of Ortisei and Afra. Tlapa and Kellner also bought a Sölde from Martin Unsinn (mercenary and carpenter from Haunstetten) as well as the so-called Madenanger u. a. As early as 1810, the "Kottonfabrikanten" went bankrupt (Gant) and on October 19, 1810 the house became the property of the wholesalers Johann Nepomuk von Molo, Joseph von Rebay and Michael Harrucker. They also used it as a factory building until bankruptcy in 1832, where cloth was cut and made ready for dispatch.
In 1832 the merchant Clemens (I.) Martini bought the house and a canvas bleaching shop in Haunstetten. Clemens Martini founded a textile finishing company in Haunstetten and Augsburg, which soon became one of the leaders of its kind in Germany.
Johann Georg Käß (1823-1903) was a distant relative of Martinis and from 1847 until the separation of property in 1860 was his partner. The house and other Haunstetter manufacturing buildings became the property of Käß in 1860. His only daughter, Marie Sophie Countess von Tattenbach (1867–1947), an honorary citizen of Haunstetten from 1927 until her death in 1947, lived in this house. After the end of World War II , refugees were quartered in the Countess's palace for several years from 1945 onwards.
In 1953 the town of Haunstetten acquired the palace of her father, the Kommerzienrat Georg Käß, from the Countess's heirs. In 1955 it was converted into the town hall.
Use after the incorporation of Haunstetten into Augsburg
Since Haunstetten was incorporated into Augsburg in 1972, the house has now served as an administrative building for the city of Augsburg. Administrative departments of the city of Augsburg, which have or had their seat here, were the education office, the forest administration and the district library, the mother's advice service and the citizens' office. A renovation was carried out between 2010 and 2012 for around € 1.7 million, as the load-bearing wooden beams had to be refurbished. A demolition of the building was considered internally. On March 31, 2012, the renovated former Haunstetter town hall with the citizens' office and the district library will be reopened.
inside rooms
- Former boardroom
The oil painting by Haunstetter artist Werner Helbig (St. Georg Church, Eichendorff School, Dorfschmiede) hangs in the former meeting room . Today civil weddings take place there.
- Anteroom ground floor
In 1990 a stone boundary stone was set up in the entrance area. It dates from 1785 and was erected on the edge of the Siebentischwald on the occasion of a border renovation between the Electorate of Bavaria and the Imperial Monastery of Ortisei and Afra. A replica now stands in its place in the forest. It is adorned with the coat of arms of the Electorate of Bavaria and the Reichsstift St. Ulrich and Afra. During the renovation, the boundary stone was removed and put back in 2012.
Outdoor area
The count's palace was once surrounded by a high wall, which is no longer preserved today. The Haunstetten monument has stood on the west side since 2000 and was erected by the Haunstetten artist Christian Angerbauer at the turn of the millennium on behalf of ARGE Haunstetten.
Outbuildings
The town hall had an outbuilding on the north side, which was demolished in May 1991. The adjacent building in Tattenbachstrasse was also demolished. 21 (so-called “Bräusölde”, built in 1791). It partly had a barrel vault and a double roof structure. In the east there is an outbuilding that used to be u. a. served as the police station of the Haunstetten community and is now used as the administrative office of the Haunstetten cultural area.
