Bergisches Haus
The Bergisches Haus (or Bergische Bauweise ) is a half-timbered house type that is widespread in the Bergisches Land .
features
Typical of the half-timbered frame construction are the green shutters (called in Bergisch Schlagladen ), white door and window reveals in connection with black frames and white clay frames as well as the gray-black slate facades and / or rubble stone bases. The typical color combination green-white-black / slate gray is identified as the Bergischer Dreiklang .
Often a stone staircase leads up to the front door.
The slate facade served as weather protection for the compartment and was - depending on the status and wealth of the house owner - either only attached to the side primarily facing the wind or on all four sides in order to be able to protect the entire compartment. The slate shows the regional connection of the house to the geological unit of the Rhenish Slate Mountains .
For the farmhouse type (in contrast to the otherwise identical but slightly larger small town type) the green front door with separate upper and lower door is another feature of the Bergisches Haus.
Bergisch Baroque
With the arrival of baroque and rococo styles, especially in the second half of the 18th century, the Bergisches Haus took on a contemporary new look. Examples of the Bergisches Haus in the Bergisch Baroque are Haus Cleff and Haus Harkorten .
Neuberg style
At the beginning of the 20th century a historicizing movement emerged in the context of homeland security architecture , which led to an abundance of typical regional buildings in the Bergisches Land. This form of architecture differs from the Altbergic style in that it is taller buildings with massive outer walls. An example of the Neuberg style is the Gräfrath town hall .
