The Bauknecht & Graeßle semi-detached house at Kaiserstraße 33-35 in Heilbronn was built in 1897 for Herrmann Bauknecht and Robert Graeßle based on designs by the architect August Dederer . The splendid Wilhelminian style building was built on the site of the house of the late clergyman Heinrich Ludwig Münster and the office of the printer Johann Christian Leucht, of which the old cellars have been preserved.

The magnificent building was destroyed in the Second World War. Since the time of the reconstruction there has been a building built for the Walch shoe store on the site of house 33, while the two-storey porch of the listed Dresdner Bank can be found on the site of house 35 today .

history

Before the transformation of Kaiserstraße into a thoroughfare in 1897, the property at Kaiserstraße 33-35 had the addresses Presencegasse 5 and 3. When the houses were counted in 1855, they were given the number 879 (office of the printer Johann Christian Leucht) and 880 (house of Heinrich Ludwig Münster).

House of Heinrich Ludwig Münster (1723)

Heilbronn, 1723 home of HL Münster.

The building that was once there was the house of clergyman Heinrich Ludwig Münster (* December 5, 1662 in Flein; † March 5, 1723 in Heilbronn), then the Der Ritter inn . Heinrich Ludwig Münster was a great-great-grandson of the progenitor of the Heilbronner Münster family, which occupied the pastoral positions in Heilbronn and its imperial towns for more than 150 years. Heinrich Ludwig was born the son of Johann Ludwig Münster and his wife Agnes Dorothea, a native of Kollenberg, and studied theology in Strasbourg and Altdorf near Nuremberg. From 1714 to 1723, as a senior member of the Heilbronn clergy, he held the first position of preacher at the Heilbronn Kilian's Church, and was also a scholarch . He was pastor for 33 years, 30 of them in Heilbronn. Münster had a "considerable fortune that only a few others in the city had". The legacy of the deceased Münster is scientifically important:

“No other source can be equated with inventories when it comes to the listing of belongings. They therefore represent a treasure trove of the first order for anyone interested in cultural history. In addition, they are among the most important sources of family history. "

Office of the printer Johann Christian Leucht (1743)

Heilbronn, office of the book printer Johann Christian Leucht.

The printer Johann Christian Leucht (born June 25, 1683 in Arnstadt, † October 6, 1752 in Heilbronn) came from Arnstadt in Thuringia. In Heilbronn, Leucht was a member of the Grand Council from 1732. His printing works burned down in 1743, but Leucht rebuilt it. On December 24th, 1743, he applied for a weekly newsletter to be printed: "Mr. Leucht be prepared to truck a weekly newsletter here and ask if it is permitted". He was already allowed to do this on December 28th with the clause "not to truck anything in it, which could involve the laudable magistrate of a praejudiz". After four days, on January 1, 1744, the “first newspaper in Heilbronn” appeared in his office under the title of the weekly Heilbronnisches Nachrichten- und Kundschaftsblatt . The paper changed its name several times. From 1801 it was called the intelligence sheet. and from 1844 it was called the Heilbronn Intelligence Journal. and was now the official gazette for the districts of Heilbronn , Brackenheim , Neckarsulm and Weinsberg as well as for Bad Wimpfen . From 1848 the newspaper was called Heilbronner Tagblatt , from 1861 Neckar-Zeitung .

Semi-detached house Bauknecht & Graeßle (1897)

Postcard from 1899

After the renovation of Kaiserstrasse in 1897, representative buildings of the time were built on many of the old properties, which rested on the cellars of the previous buildings. At Kaiserstraße 33-35, a commercial building for Gauturnwart Herrmann Bauknecht (* July 11, 1845 - November 21, 1927) and Robert Graeßle was built in 1897 according to plans by the architect August Dederer. In Heilbronn, Dederer was also responsible for the buildings in Herbststrasse 8 , Silcherplatz 6 , Uhlandstrasse 70 and Wilhelmstrasse 52 , 54 , 56 and 58 .

The building at Kaiserstraße 33-35 was one of a group of representative buildings extending over house numbers 25 to 37, which made Kaiserstraße the “boulevard of the Wilhelminian era”: “Nowhere was Heilbronn more urban”. The cellars of the previous buildings were preserved, such as a vaulted cellar at a depth of 6.40 meters. There is also a cellar at a depth of 5.10 meters.

In 1901 the Carl Wolf company was based in house number 33. In 1928, the Walch shoe store was at number 33. Until 1944, Tengelmann's main sales point was also located in No. 33. Until the building was destroyed in 1944, Wilhelm Holl's wine tavern was located in house number 35.

The buildings were flanked by other magnificent buildings. Around 1900 there was still a café in the neighboring building on the left (no.31), later a private bank moved into the building, and the trading and commercial bank had its headquarters in the neighboring building on the right (no.37).

Destruction in 1944 and new buildings

Schuhhaus Walch (33) u. Dresdner Bank (35).

In 1944 the building was destroyed in the air raids on Heilbronn . After the Second World War, a new building for the Walch shoe store (No. 33) and the Dresdner Bank building (No. 35) were built on the same spot, which is now a listed building.

    "The printer Leucht (HT 184) gave 1744 as the address next to the" knight ". Two buildings come into question for the location of the inn, which have the numbers 881 and 879 on the primary cadastral plan from 1835. Since the much smaller no. 881 is already registered as a warehouse building in 1836, we conclude that the "knight" has set up in the house of Heinrich Ludwig Münster (no. 879), who died in 1723, whose area seems more suitable for an inn than the other alternative.

    “A description of the situation from 1723 speaks of the house of the couple Heinrich Ludwig Münster in the Presencegasse next to the Württemberg care yard and printer Johann Christian Leucht. On the basis of this note, we locate the Leuchtsche building in Presencegasse, contrary to the previously published literature, which preferred Schulgasse. The house burned down in 1743 and was rebuilt by Leucht. In 1897 it was used as a municipal warehouse with the neighboring house to the west. Because of the breakthrough from Kaiserstraße to avenue, it was canceled this year. Leucht, who has been a printer in the city since 1710, published the weekly Heilbronnisches Nachrichten- und Kundschaftsblatt newspaper from 1744. (Marianne Dumitrache, Simon M.
