Architecture and history

Previous building

Otto von Voss, 1793

Originally the Canon Curia was located here . Around the year 1596 it was acquired by Canon Wolfgang von Spitznase . His wife, née Wurm, came to Magdeburg in 1600. She took over the property after his death. In 1631, the year Magdeburg was destroyed , she lived here with her three daughters, a grandson, four maids, her clerk Jürgen and a coachman. As billeting in the house lived the watchmaker Jürgen, the butler Jacob and his brother. There was also a wooden booth on the property, in which a court clerk with his wife and the clerk with his wife and two children were quartered. Presumably the headquarters of Colonel Johann Schneidewind was also located on the property. When Magdeburg was destroyed, the buildings on this property were also destroyed. In 1642 the grandson of the former owner, Wolfgang von Spitznase, owned the desert site. On top of it was a hut occupied by a thresher. In 1657 the curia was rebuilt by the canon Erasmus Dietrich von Bennigsen. After his death in 1680, the canon Friedrich Asche von der Asseburg was probably the new owner. During this time, various repair work was carried out in the building at that time. In 1687 the canon Franz Heinrich von Cramm lived in the curia for a transitional period, then it was taken over by canon Hieronymus von Münchshausen, who died in 1742. He was followed by Gerhard Joh. Von Alvensleben as the owner until his death in 1763. From 1795 it belonged to the canon and Prussian minister of state Otto von Voss . The last owner of the curia was Wilhelm Christian Karl Graf Kalnein. At least from 1803 the property belonged to the merchant Steinemann. In 1822 he had the building complex rebuilt. In 1852 the property belonged to Neubauer & Porse, from 1870 to the merchant Neubauer.

Bank construction

Today's three-storey building, made of ashlar , was built in 1902 as a bank building according to plans by the master builder Bahr. The elaborate facade of the house, built in the neo-renaissance style, is rusticated on the ground floor. The windows are designed as round arches on the ground floor and as rectangular windows on the other floors. The window frames on the first floor are designed in the manner of an aedicle with Ionic half-columns and large keystones . From at least 1914, the Hamburg banker A. Neubauer was the owner. The bank advertised its steel chamber system. From at least 1938 the house was the seat of the Magdeburg branch of the Allgemeine Deutsche Credit-Anstalt .

There was considerable damage to the house during the Second World War . The building burned down up to the second floor, but was then rebuilt from 1946. In 1950 the city bank was run as the owner. Today the house is the seat of the Volksbank Magdeburg.

As part of the last completely preserved row of houses on the Breite Weg, the building is considered significant in terms of urban development.

In the local register of monuments , the bank building is listed as a monument under registration number 094 16643 .
