Former Lambertus School
The former Lambertus School at Lambertusstraße 1 in Düsseldorf was built in 1844 by the city architect Bergius in the neo-Romanesque style.
As a “municipal representative building”, it “historically takes up the Rhenish tradition of late Romanesque church building” and uses the formal language of the Romanesque. The building is four-story and has a painted brick facade . The facade is elongated and is different widths risalits structured with triangular pediment. Buttresses on the building edges and pilaster strips in the upper area decorate the building. A frieze below the eaves shows round arches or blocks. Gewirtelte small columns with cube capitals frame the gable of the reset inputs. Palmettes , star flowers, blendoculi are further decorations.
From 1844 to 1924, entire generations went to school in the Catholic elementary school from the early days of the company; for example in 1888 sixteen classes with 1,115 children. During the Nazi era , the building was seized as an office for the Hitler Youth . Later, the city of Düsseldorf set up an administrative office there and housed the office for chemical and food analysis there. In 1984 the house was listed as a historical monument. Since 2014 the so-called “LambertusEins” has been converted into a residential building with luxury condominiums. Completion is scheduled for autumn 2016.
