The Bruchhausenstraße is a street in Trier in the district center .

history

The street has had its current name since 1927 and was named after Albert von Bruchhausen (1859–1948), who was Mayor of Trier from 1904 to 1927. Until 1927 the street was called Ritterstraße because it leads through the former estate of the Knight Order. Before that, the route was named after an old sewer on the Sug . Today the street is an important main shopping street on the edge of the old town.

Cultural monuments

There are a total of twelve cultural monuments on this street . Most of these buildings are built in the style of historicism and art nouveau and were built around 1900 . Above all, the facades have been preserved. In the following, two outstanding buildings that characterize the street are described in more detail:

Bruchhausenstrasse 16
Bruchhausenstrasse 16a

House number 16 / 16A

It is a double tenement house belonging to the major entrepreneur August Wolf, which was built according to his design in 1904–05. The two halves are in the tradition of late historicism and are three-story, but both have different floor plans and facades. House number 16 is a plastered building with sandstone structure in an eclectic mix of neo-Gothic and neo-Renaissance styles . The asymmetrical layout is characteristic, dominated by a polygonal bay window with an overlying arbor and the richly decorated dwelling behind it.

House number 16A is larger, more representative and more conservative. The front, which is completely clad with sandstone, is symmetrical on the upper floors and dominated by a wide box bay in the center of the facade. The ground floor is rusticated and the upper floors are combined with monumental pilasters. There is rich sculptural jewelry on the building. Above projecting cornices in the eaves and attic area, the roof is enlivened by urn attachments, dormers with arched walls and a dwarf house overloaded with baroque decor. The Art Nouveau stucco decor on the corridor walls or the stairwell with the apartment entrance doors should also be emphasized. On the ground floor all the old interior doors and the Art Nouveau stucco ceilings in the living room and salon have been preserved.

Bruchhausenstrasse 17
Bruchhausenstrasse 18

House number 17/18

It is a three-storey double apartment building owned by the master carpenter Quirin Hofscheuer, which was built around 1904 based on a design by the architect Peter Marx . The mirror-symmetrical, sandstone-articulated plaster facades in the style of the German neo-renaissance are different in the details. On the ground floor, the side entrances and the columned, doubled twin windows with cranked horizontal roofing are to be emphasized, as well as in the roof area the high dwelling houses with volute-decorated gables as a striking reference to this period. The two-room-deep floor plans with a portal and staircase in one side axis and the narrow rear building built behind it correspond to the shape typical of tenement houses from the late 19th century . Both halves of the house not only have the original interior layout, but also, to an unusually large extent, the largely standardized equipment. These include the entrance corridors and stairwells with wooden post railings as well as the apartment entrance doors as well as the interior doors and stucco profile ceilings.
