Development

“The 'Hotel Heck' on Blumenstrasse, built in 1889 by the architects Tüshaus & von Abbema, contains 30 rooms with 36 beds (Fig. 369). The large dining rooms and halls as well as the good kitchen facilities allow larger festivities to be held (Figs. 370 and 371). "

  • The Cornelius house was located at Königsallee 9/10 (today's house number 18), at the corner of Schadowstrasse and Blumenstrasse. The representative secular building was built from 1896 to 1897 by the Düsseldorf architectural office Klein & Dörschel , survived the air raids on Düsseldorf except for minor damage and was rebuilt. The old building was later demolished in favor of a new one.
  • Alois Ludwig decorated the facades of Wehling 's commercial buildings at Blumenstrasse 7 and 9 . He was a representative of the Viennese Art Nouveau and works with colored glazed ceramics . In addition to the house at Schadowstrasse 23 with “figuratively glazed faience panel cladding with figurative representations”, he worked on buildings at Blumenstrasse 7 and 9 with “graceful glass inlays”. Gottfried Wehling , who designed the houses, lived at Blumenstrasse 9 from December 21, 1907 until his death.

“The Wehling business groups Königsallee No. 9 and 11, as well as Blumenstrasse No. 7 and 9, built in the years 1901–1902 by the architects Wehling & Ludwig, show street front designs in a modern design language. [...] The facades on Blumenstrasse show, above the wooden shop window systems, ashlar structures between plastered surfaces with graceful glass inlays (Fig. 430, 431 and 432). "
