Citadellstrasse 5
The house Citadellstraße 5 in Dusseldorf is a listed building.
description
According to Jörg Heimeshoff , the facade of the three-storey house is divided into six axes. All openings show natural stone surrounds. A door shows a putti's head in the upper part. Inside there is still a baroque staircase.
For Paul Sültenfuß it is a rare example of the Düsseldorf Rococo, such as the Rococo chimney superstructures with the mirror surfaces:
“[The interior] shows rich chimney superstructures in two halls on the upper floor […] Wide-lobed asymmetrical shellwork frames specially cut, irregular mirror surfaces above the fireplace. In the simpler surface treatment of the side pilasters, the architectural framing of the fireplace and its structure, the confused excitement of the mirror frame, which is about to move to the neighboring area beyond the fireplace structure, comes to rest. Apart from a few lattice work on the town hall, these two chimneys are the only rich decorative expression of the Rococo in Düsseldorf. "
Josef Kleesattel pays tribute to the house's courtyard stairs. Paul Sültenfuß describes the stair decoration in Düsseldorf in detail. As an example, he cites the steps in the courtyard at Citadellstrasse 5.
“On the layout of the staircases and their artistic end [...] I would just like to point out the previously unknown comfort of the staircase of the spacious stairwells, how beautiful and precise the drawing of the profiles of the balusters, railings and posts , especially how the new artistic wealth that Johann Wilhelms Hof gathered around itself is reflected in the decoration of dolphins or volutes on the starting posts of the stairs of the houses. Compare the stairs at Citadellstrasse 7 , in the town hall and the courtyard stairs at Citadellstrasse. 5. [...] "
