Engelhardt Palace
The Engelhardt-Palais is a listed building at 25 Gelbinger Gasse in Schwäbisch Hall .
history
The house was built in 1705 on behalf of the councilor Johann Wilhelm Engelhardt (1653–1711). In 1728 the Hospital of the Holy Spirit rents the entire building for three years because the hospital building on the Spitalbach was destroyed in a fire. In the following decades the house changed hands frequently until it was sold to the confectioner and merchant Christian Friedrich Bär in 1834. He gave the house to his daughter Marie as a dowry for her marriage to the merchant Peter David Pabst. The house was owned by the heirs until the 20th century.
In 1920 the brothers Naphtali (called Norbert) and Isaak Heumann bought the building. Her cigar factory resided on the ground floor, the apartments on the first and second floors were rented. From 1928 Isaak Heumann also lived in the house. After Naphtali Heumann's death, his brother continued the business alone. Because of their Jewish descent, Isaak Heumann, his wife and sister-in-law had to flee to the United States before the Nazi terror . Heumann sold the cigar factory in April 1937 for 2,000 Reichsmarks to his foreman Jakob Reichling, and the house in 1939 for 40,000 Reichsmarks to the city of Schwäbisch Hall, which in 1940 transferred it to the Hospital Foundation. The rental apartments on the first and second floors were then cleared to make room for the mother's school of the National Socialist People's Welfare . In addition, at the end of 1940 the staff of the 76th Infantry Regiment and the management of the female Reich Labor Service in the region were housed in the house. The cigar factory continued to reside on the ground floor and had to change its name the following year because “ Aryanized ” companies were no longer allowed to bear the names of the previous Jewish owners. On December 16, 1941, the city terminated the tenancy agreement with the cigar factory, as the rooms were to be used for a municipal housekeeping school and the mothers' school of the National Socialist Welfare Association was to move in as planned. On March 1, 1942, they moved into the converted rooms on the first floor of the house.
In the period after 1945, the house came under trust management as a former Jewish property. The Heumann family ceded their compensation claims to the "Jewish Restitution Successor Organization" in New York, which received 8,000 DM from the hospital foundation in 1950 as part of an out-of-court refund settlement. In other legal proceedings (until 1965) Isaak and Arthur Heumann were awarded additional damages for loss of work and forced emigration.
At the end of the Second World War , the “Housekeeping and women's work school with domestic economic vocational school” became the sole occupant of the building and remained until the move to a vocational school center on the Tullauer Höhe in 1976. In 1980, after extensive renovation and renovation work, the house became the music school handed over to the city. In 2011 the music school moved into the “House of Education” in the Kocher district behind the building. After a sale of the building failed and the house was vacant, the city and hospital foundation decided to quarter the nursing and children's nursing of the Diakonie-Klinikum Schwäbisch Hall in the building. The house is currently (as of January 2014) being rebuilt and renovated for 500,000 euros and handed over to the school in May 2014.
architecture
The most striking features of the baroque city palace with a mansard hipped roof are the elaborately designed portal with an imperial double-headed eagle and inscription (marked 1705) and the two round gate walls with small figure niches. The front of the house is dominated by a wide central gable and structured by 11 irregular window axes. The interiors are characterized by the high, lavishly designed stucco ceilings , some of which are painted.
