.jpg)
The industrial building August-Pieper-Strasse 4–10 is in Mönchengladbach ( North Rhine-Westphalia ) in the Gladbach district . It was built around 1906. The building was entered under No. A 045 on November 2, 1998 in the monuments list of the city of Mönchengladbach .
architecture
It is a large building complex divided into three parts. The two-and-a-half-story central wing and the three-story building section on the left, accentuated by a volute-covered gable in the center, form a single unit . These two facade sections are designed in a combination of brick and plastered surface.
The building is accessed through the left, three-axis entrance wing. The entrance portal (more recent), separated by an oversized natural stone frame , takes up the entire width of the right axis . The two upper floors are vertically structured using masonry wall templates, which, in connection with the design of the eaves, suggest the impression of closed wall fields.
Window design and execution differing from floor to floor. Those on the first floor close off with a segmental arch; the windows on the first floor are emphasized by an "ear framing" and those on the second floor by an arched frame. The volute gable is flanked on both sides by a dormer window with segmental arches. The vertical structure of the building section, which is slightly set back on the right, is provided by five buttresses rounded at the top ; the horizontal one is a high-rise basement made of natural stone and a box-shaped projecting eaves.
The six windows on each storey are arranged at regular intervals and, with the exception of those on the basement, are essentially uniform. The windows of the basement floor are designed as tall rectangular twin windows that follow the slope of the terrain; The three-part windows of the two main floors are finished with a staggered arch frame, with the windows on the ground floor being horizontally subdivided by stone warps. Above the eaves, six dormers that continue the window axes and are divided into three parts break through the roof surfaces .
Above, barely noticeable from the street view, six more dormers with a curved finish. The right wing, which was built later - probably around 1910 - stands out clearly in form and shape. It is designed as a four-storey plastered building with a pronounced horizontal structure by means of floor and eaves. The vertical structure is provided by three pilaster strips . Structuring of the ground floor still traditionally through joint cuts; Upper floors plastered smooth.
The building is accessed via two arched entrances, of which the right is designed as a courtyard entrance. The left is formulated as a deep niche with a large entrance gate and smaller entrances flanking on both sides. The ground floor is illuminated by two large arched windows divided into three parts by pillars. On each of the three upper floors, four evenly lined up rectangular windows structure the facade. The windows on the first floor are divided into three parts horizontally and vertically by pillars; those on the second floor are smaller and only structured vertically by brick pillars. The windows on the third floor, set off by a protruding box cornice, are formulated accordingly.
The area of the modified saddle roof breaks through a wide dormer in the middle, divided into five parts. In their plasticity and liveliness, the facades of the older parts of the building are a synthesis of the ideas of a factory and administrative building that were common in the 19th and early 20th centuries and the implementation of contemporary Art Nouveau criteria . The design of the younger wing essentially corresponds to the reform architecture that is being established and heralded the New Objectivity .
Transformer house
A small, two-story building has been preserved in the courtyard, the rounded south-east corner of which originally housed a patio . The protection status was extended to this former transformer house on November 14, 2011. A brick-facing facade to the main building and facades to the neighboring buildings covered with rough plaster are broken up by vertical rectangular windows (double-wing windows with partly split skylights) made of profiled wooden frames. On the ground floor, four window openings are flanked to the north by a arched entrance, to the south by a group of three narrow, tall rectangular windows. On the upper floor, the windows above the entrance form a group of three narrow windows, which are adjoined by a group of four to the south. The walls between the openings are smoothly plastered and visually combine the windows into a ribbon of windows. The building has a roof area divided by a cornice , which is emphasized on the south side by a dormer. The roof surfaces are covered with red beaver tails .
