history

Since the early days of the company, numerous industrial and commercial enterprises had sprung up in the village of Ilversgehofen, north of Erfurt , which resulted in the development of Ilversgehofen as a residential location. Around 1900, “Neu-Ilversgehofen” was laid out east of the historic village center as a new residential area based on a plan of streets, mostly at right angles to one another. The quarter was bordered by Magdeburger Allee in the west, the railway line to Nordhausen in the north and east and the street "Am Franzosenlager", which is reminiscent of a prisoner of war camp established there after 1871, in the south. The field road was the westernmost of the four roads planned in a north-south direction. Traditional tenement houses were already being built in the northern part before the First World War . In 1911 Ilversgehofens was incorporated into Erfurt. After that, the development of Neu-Ilversgehofen came to a standstill due to the war and the poverty of the post-war period.

Since there was a lack of private investors, the structural development of Ilversgehofen was continued in the 1920s by building cooperatives and the municipality. According to plans by the building construction department of the city of Erfurt, which was then headed by Johannes Klass , four-story residential buildings were built in 1929 at Feldstrasse 37-39. The houses at Feldstrasse 40 and 41 followed in 1931. The apartments were primarily intended to serve as living space for those in need and were given a large proportion of one-room apartments without cross ventilation. In the northern head building, small apartments with collective toilets on the floors were planned. In terms of design, the houses were given a moderate expressionist character. The facades were structured by narrow, vertical ribbon windows to illuminate the stairwells. The windows were of different widths depending on the function of the room, from single to three lanes, and provided with wooden bars.

After the National Socialists seized power in 1933, construction work ceased. It was not until May 1937 that the city's newly formed “Housing and Settlement Office” presented new plans for further building the housing complex for “people's apartments”. The building depth of the apartment blocks at Feldstrasse 43-45 built afterwards was reduced and - contrary to the plans - the vertical lighting strips were dispensed with in favor of normal staircase windows. In addition, the two houses at Stollbergstrasse 52 and 53 were built.

After the Second World War , the houses remained in municipal hands. In 1974 the roofs were also converted into apartments and provided with very large dormer windows (some with 8 window axes). In the nineties, the apartments were assigned to the Erfurt municipal housing association (KoWo). Modernization and repair work did not take place, however, which led to long-term vacancies and decay.

With the offer period on June 21, 2016, the KoWo offered the complex consisting of 121 residential units on 4 parcels for 795,000 € (minimum bid). The contract was awarded to the real estate company Gartenstadtgesellschaft Hellerau AG , which had the property listed and planned new floor plans. The monument status was justified by the monument authority with the "extraordinary authenticity" of the originally preserved floor plans, architectural elements (house door frames, sills, plinths, plaster, front garden frames) and extension parts (house entrance and apartment doors, windows, terrazzo and tiled floors). In June 2019, the owner company offered the unrenovated residential complex for sale for 6,390,000 euros.
