Amberger Stadel (Regensburg)
.jpg)
The Amberger Stadel in the old town of Regensburg , Bavaria , was built in 1487 to the west of the Stone Bridge at the instigation of Bavarian Duke Albrecht IV . In 1551 the salt barn was enlarged and rebuilt by the imperial city of Regensburg. The building at Brückstrasse No. 2 is a protected monument .
history
The barn was built between 1485 and 1492 as the first salt barn in Regensburg during the brief period when the Free Imperial City of Regensburg was taken over by Duke Albrecht IV of Bavaria. After the city had been granted stacking rights for salt by the Duke , the Salzstadel was supposed to initiate the economic upturn in Regensburg and enable the salt to be transported to the northern Bavarian regions of Amberg and the Upper Palatinate . Until then, the Regensburg merchants had not dealt with the salt trade because the salt trade was a privilege of the salt lords. The construction of the salt barn west of the bridgehead of the stone bridge was difficult, because consideration had to be given to the narrow ship canal (Wiedfangkanal) that still existed there at that time. The canal branched off from the Danube at the angled Am Wiedfang square , passed under the southernmost, now buried but verifiable bridge yoke of the Steinerne Brücke and east of the bridge at Wurstkuchel again into the Danube.
In the later, expanded new construction of the Salzstadel initiated by the city of Regensburg in 1551, the canal no longer had to be taken into account because it had been filled in in the meantime. A saddle roof building with four floors made of quarry stone was built , which has a crested hip in the west .
The Amberger Stadel was converted into a residential and commercial building in 1902/03 by the city architect Adolf Schmetzer . This construction measure also had the goal of creating a flying buttress as a bridging structure from the former Amberger Salzstadel to the bridge gate tower of the stone bridge. The Schwibbogen should serve as a passage for the new tram to Stadtamhof . Despite substantial losses of the building structure, the result is still approved today, because the entire building ensemble on the southern bridgehead of the Stone Bridge , which together with the cathedral towers represents the landmark of Regensburg, has been preserved. Inside the building, too, the wooden structures with massive beams and saddle timbers were preserved.
After these construction measures, the building was gradually converted on the ground floor for retail shops and also for residential purposes and was used until 1989. After 1989 renovation measures began in order to be able to continue the previous residential use as a student residence. The double room units with bathroom and kitchen-diner are strictly based on the medieval, visible wooden construction. Student community facilities were created above the access to the bridge and the traditional shops at the access to the bridge could also return after the renovation was completed.
