Deichmannhaus (Kassel)
The Deichmannhaus (Haus Brüderstraße 2) was a half-timbered building in the old town of Kassel . The Renaissance building from the early 17th century stood on the corner of Brüdergasse and Marställer Platz until the Second World War.
Building design
The three half-timbered floors rested on a ground floor made of sandstone. An elaborate double portal formed the entrance to Brüderstraße. Two polygonal bay windows at the corners of the long side of the building shaped its appearance. The bay window facing Marställer Platz rested on a console that was already richly ornamented in the forms of the High Renaissance ( fittings , tooth cut ). The decorative framework of the upper storeys, which was once typical of the time, apparently similarly elaborately designed, had obviously disappeared in the course of window installations in the early 19th century.
history
In 1410 the previous building was bought by the Kassel Carmelite Monastery and used as an apartment building. After the Reformation in the Landgraviate of Hessen-Kassel , the building was bought in 1603 by the landgrave chef and replaced in 1605 by the new building that had existed until 1943. In later times it served, among other things, as an inn and office building. From 1830, one of the owners was the businessman Karl Deichmann, whose name was transferred to the building. The building probably burned down to the basement in the air raids of October 22, 1943 , today the heavily widened Brüderstraße runs on the property.
