Bolfrashaus
The Bolfrashaus (in other sources also Bollfrashaus ) is a rebuilt former Renaissance building in Frankfurt (Oder) on the southeast corner of the market square, today on the corner of Große Oder and Bischofstrasse. The original building was one of the most architecturally significant buildings in the city. His new building is now in public use.
history
The house was first mentioned in 1540; it belonged to the widow of a Barthol Degenhardt. From 1567 until his death in 1583, the Bolfrashaus was owned by the mayor Albrecht Wins and was first mentioned in the Turkish tax register . Two years later it was owned by the mayor Adam Bolfras (in other sources also Adam Bollfras), then in 1596 by his son Michael Bolfras, the syndic of the University of Frankfurt and Chancellor of the Sonnenburg Abbey . At that time, including the striking was sandstone - bay on the western gable corner built, who had to stand out in the market, the house has also magnificent building. 1603 Bolfras sold his to professor and general superintendent of the Mark Brandenburg Christoph Pelargus . In 1672 Dr. Petrus Schultz owner, 1721 Dr. Schmeski, 1732 master Johann Gottfried Langner. In 1743 it was owned by Johann Gabriel Probeck and in 1744 by Johann Gabriel Brodbeck, who had a coffee house set up. After several changes of ownership, Johann David Harttung owned the building in 1773 and other members of the Harttung family until 1945. During this time, among other things, the roof and renaissance hood were destroyed by fire in 1889, but an immediate rebuilding and the installation of a contemporary stucco facade took place . Shortly after the renovation and removal of the stucco facade in 1924, the house was destroyed in 1945 by a bomb strike at the end of the Second World War. In the 1970s there was a development with a residential building as a new settlement.
reconstruction
In 2012, the funding of the cross-border project “Bolfrashaus & Kleistturm (Stage I)” was approved by the responsible bodies. 4.2 million euros were co-financed from the ERDF as part of the Interreg program of the European Union .
The neighboring cities of Słubice ( Poland ), Frankfurt (Oder) and the Frankfurt (Oder) Tourism Association ( Germany ) were or are project partners beyond the construction period . The client was the work and life in historical buildings gGmbH.
In preparation for the new building, the existing block of flats was painted on its gable side. The three-dimensional representation showed the old Bolfrashaus as one would have seen it from there (see picture).
In the years 2013-2014, after the complete demolition of the apartment block, the new Bolfrashaus was rebuilt on the historical foundations and with the bay window in the original Warthauer sandstone .
Current usage
In the historically modeled building there are modernly equipped offices and event rooms as well as a simultaneous interpreting system . The large, representative Hanseatic Hall , with its hand-painted coat of arms, ties in with Frankfurt's history as a Hanseatic city .
