Drostei (Pinneberg)
The Drostei in Pinneberg in Schleswig-Holstein is a listed city palace , it is considered one of the main works of the north German Rococo . The building was originally named Ahlefeldt-Schloss after its client , and when it was used by the Landdroste of the Pinneberg lordship , the name Drostei later became established.
history
The brick building in Dingstätte 23 was erected between 1765 and 1767. The architect is believed to be Ernst Georg Sonnin (1713–1794), who is said to have built the Drostei for Landdrosten , the secret conference councilor Hans von Ahlefeldt (1710–1780). Sonnin is also attributed the similar building to Palais Doos in Wilster, although a clear attribution has not yet been made in both cases. Other sources also give Georg Greggenhofer (1728–1779) and other Cai Dose (approx. 1700–1768), the builder of the Rellinger Church (1754–1756), as architects. Until the middle of the 19th century, the building served as the seat of the Landdroste of the County of Pinneberg, then the district administrators. In 1929 the Pinneberger Cadastre Office first moved into the lower floor of the house, and from 1938 also the upper rooms, which Pinneberger SA had used as a "standard house" since 1933 .
From 1984 to 1991 the Drostei was completely restored. The park behind the building, designed around 1800 in the English style , is now used as a public green area. A district-level cultural center has been housed in the Drostei since 1991. As a “house of baroque and modern times”, the Drostei offers a varied cultural program. One focus is on exhibitions of contemporary art and photography as well as chamber music from the Renaissance and Baroque periods. In addition, literary events and concerts of contemporary music take place in the Drostei. Weddings take place once a month in the Drostei, with the Drostei then acting as a branch of the Pinneberg registry office.
The construction
The stately two-storey brick shell with a mansard roof in black-glazed pan cover has large wooden cross-lattice windows in arches between wall pillars, the corners of the building are emphasized by rusticated pilaster strips . The nine-axis wide fronts are similarly structured with sandstone portals over single-flight stairs in three-storey, triangular gabled central projections , the tail gable of the main portal is adorned with a coat of arms of Ahlefeldt / von Grote above the two-winged skylight house door. There is a dwarf house above each of the five-axis narrow sides .
The original room layout has been preserved. To the left of the entrance hall - with black and white marble tiles - there is the wooden staircase, on the garden side there are three salons en filade with colored fabric wall coverings based on old patterns. In the middle of the first floor there is a continuous ballroom, the ceilings and oven niches of the main rooms are elegantly stuccoed . The old ovens in the various halls and the furniture with a square piano in one of the smaller rooms are not originally part of the building. In the attic there are two doors that come from the wood paneling of the much smaller previous building. In the basement, which now houses a restaurant, the kitchen fireplace is important.
Drosteipark
The oldest representation of the garden is from 1736 and shows a classic French baroque garden . A tapering main axis extending from the house divided the garden and ended at the site of today's train station in the Fahlt (city forest). In 1765 a "materials house", an orange house and a heated greenhouse and glass house are mentioned. Immediately to the west of the Drosteig site was the so-called kitchen garden. A watercolor from around 1800 shows the Drosteipark as a landscape park, the originally baroque design can only be seen in remnants. With the construction of the Hamburg-Altona-Kiel railway line in 1844, around a third of the park area was separated, in 1854 parts of the park were parceled out and built on in the following years (Lindenstrasse, Bahnhofstrasse, Moltkestrasse). In the course of industrialization, the Union-Eisenwerke (later Herman Wupperman Emaillierwerke) settled, on whose grounds there are now residential buildings. After 1918, the previously fenced park became open to the public. In the 1950s, as a result of the expansion of the “Am Drosteipark” street, it was reduced in size by around 7,500 m², with some 100-year-old beech trees and parts of a lime tree avenue still being destroyed. In the course of the IGA 1973 , a further redesign took place, for example the pond system, which was originally designed as an extinguishing water pond. A solitary realm immediately south of the building fell victim to a storm in 1975.
