At the Kamphof
The Am Kamphof housing estate is a monument area consisting of several houses in the Gütersloh district of Kattenstroth in North Rhine-Westphalia . It is a closed housing estate with 56 apartments in 14 semi-detached houses built in 1924/1925 by the city of Gütersloh to alleviate the housing shortage after the First World War . The settlement was placed under monument protection with the statute for the monument area "Am Kamphof" of February 1, 1994.
history
The architect was the then town planner Ludwig Schluckebier (1876–1951), who planned the settlement “in a traditionalist style that was tied to the homeland”. Five of the houses were built on an existing street, the Westring, for the remaining buildings, a small street led through the settlement at right angles with a square square and trees, today's street Am Kamphof, was created. The semi-detached houses each consisted of two apartments, each historically comprised of two rooms and a kitchen, a stable extension and a garden were used per house half, and several chambers were built in the attic.
The settlement was placed under monument protection in 1994 as a uniformly planned complex from the 1920s on the basis of an expert report by the Westphalian Office for the Preservation of Monuments from 1990 due to its historical significance for Gütersloh. Together with the Zumhagen Hof estate, which is also under monument protection, it represents one of the few uniformly planned facilities of this time in Gütersloh.

The windows are characterized by their size, shape, subdivision and the white paint, as well as by the dark green painted and horizontally sprouted wooden shutters on the ground and upper floors. The house entrances on the gable side are partially characterized by their covered external stairs and wooden front doors with small glass cutouts. On the back of the residential buildings, stable extensions are built in pairs above the high basement, which are at 90 degrees to the residential building and step back from the side front. On the street side, the properties are enclosed by half-height hedges. At the Kamphof, the street is also expanded like a square.
