Berger Strasse 3 (Düsseldorf)
The Berger Straße 3 commercial building in Düsseldorf was built in 1899 by the architects Viktor Wolff for the fish shop Carl Maassen (other spelling: Karl Maassen). It has been a listed building since 1984.
location
The house is located in Düsseldorf's old town on Berger Straße, which forms the connection between the old market square and Carlsplatz . Grocery retailers traditionally settled on Berger Strasse as the connecting road between the two weekly markets. The street, which was built from 1478 on, has been a pedestrian zone since 1974 and today there are numerous restaurants. The traditional Uerige restaurant is located in the neighboring house on the right, Berger Straße 1 .
description
In 1904 it was said about the commercial building that it was "remarkable" because of its historic facade: the structure is made of sandstone ; the wall surfaces are plastered . The ground floor shows large shop windows with segmental arches . Various axes are architecturally designed in a special way: For example the passage on the left side, which emerges slightly as a risalit , with a bay window above . Another window axis is framed by pilasters , with semicircular decorative gables as window canopies . A tail gable adorns the facade.
Damaged in the Second World War, the house could later be repaired. In the 1980s, the building underwent a stylistically adapted expansion on the left side, where a one-storey makeshift building had been located for decades. The architects of the extension were RKW Rhode Kellermann Wawrowsky . The building was included in the list of monuments in 1984 because of its “good design”.
history
The previous building on Berger Straße 3 is documented at the earliest for the year 1632, when the mayor Nettesheim lived there. From 1712 until at least 1806 the house was called "King of England" and was used as a restaurant at times. In 1899 the Maassen family, who had been fishing and fishmongers in Düsseldorf since around 1820, had the house built today. The family ran a fish shop with an attached restaurant that is well known beyond Düsseldorf. The company had to file for bankruptcy at the end of the 1990s. Today there is a fish restaurant in the building.
