Office and residential building on Deichstrasse 12
The office and residential building at Deichstrasse 12 in Cuxhaven , Deichstrasse , was a listed building under Lower Saxony and was included in the list of architectural monuments in Cuxhaven .
history
The two-storey plastered late classicist building from 1840 with a high basement, the mezzanine floor and the flat hipped roof was the old pilot house as the former seat of the pilot commander. It's the oldest house on the street. The branch offices of the Institute for Fisheries Ecology and the Institute for Sea Fisheries of the Johann Heinrich von Thünen Institute used to be located here (until 2017?) . The building was rebuilt several times, the facades changed, and the house lost the square tower above the ridge of the hipped roof.
The monument protection was lifted in 2018. The demolition planned by the Federal Agency for Real Estate Tasks (BImA) led to protests from citizens in 2018/19. The demolition was prevented in February 2019 by a municipal conservation statute (according to §§ 172 ff. BauGB). The city established the statute u. a .: "As a typical representative of the building culture of its time, the historically valuable main building reflects the particular structural development of the pre-foundational era and is therefore of importance as a reminiscence of the time, city and maritime history."
Today (2020) the house is used for offices.
The buildings at Deichstrasse 4 , 5 to 8 , 9 , 10 , 12A , 13a , 20 and 40 are also under monument protection; No. 12 was no longer protected as a historical monument.
