Forsbacher Hof
The Forsbacher Hof is a formerly listed half-timbered house in the Rösrath district of Forsbach from the middle of the 19th century.
Building description
The building is a two-storey half-timbered house with a gable roof , eaves house, 7: 2 window axes, with partly original lattice windows. A younger half-timbered extension with a two-axis dormer was added on Königsforster Strasse. The interior of the building had been rebuilt over the course of time by various previous owners in such a way that only the facade on the street sides was protected as a monumental part.
The entry as monument no. 37 in the list of listed buildings in the city of Rösrath was removed on November 12, 2013 because the proportions of the original building fabric after the reconstruction were considered too small.
history
The Forsbacher Hof originally stood in the fiscal forest estate Schwiegelshohn , a submerged settlement on the road from Forsbach to Bensberg. In 1890 Gustav Frever bought the building intended for demolition and had it carefully dismantled and re-erected as house no. 69/2 on Forsbacher Hauptstrasse (today's Bensberger Strasse).
Carl Naaf - Gustav Frever's son-in-law - received on June 13, 1900 the license to run an inn for the building, which he called “Forsbacher Hof”. The restaurant soon became a popular destination for the Cologne population, who stopped by after a hike through the Königsforst. In addition, there were several guest rooms available in Forsbacher Hof, which were gladly rented by short vacationers from Cologne - at the time called "summer visitors". In addition to the chestnut-lined beer garden - the last chestnut was felled in 2011 - there was originally a covered veranda in front of the house. However, this had to give way to the road widening in the 1960s.
During and after the Second World War, the Forsbacher Hof became a refreshment station for soldiers and refugees. After the war it also served as a makeshift church space for the few Forsbach Catholics until the beginning of the 1950s.
At the beginning of the 21st century - 100 years after the opening - the hotel was given up. The building was falling into disrepair. In 2011, an investor planned to convert the building into a senior citizens' home. The original facade should be preserved.
Dismantling 2011
The listed facade of the building was to be preserved as part of a renovation measure. Even before the renovation work began, a building report came to the conclusion that the wood components close to the ground in the Bensberger Strasse area in particular were so badly damaged that the beams had to be replaced. Contrary to the agreements between the Lower Monument Authority , the Office for Monument Preservation and the investor - the non-profit building cooperative Dormagen - parts of the façade of Forsbach's distinctive half-timbered house were illegally torn down.
Reconstruction
In the run-up to the construction work, a true-to-deformation measurement with a detailed representation of the facade of the building had already been made using digitally corrected measurement images . The original wooden components of the framework had been marked while the facade was being exposed. After the demolition, the majority of these components were available, so that largely original parts could be reconstructed. The true-to-scale reconstruction of the facade was carried out using existing and usable beams; destroyed beams were replaced by new oak beams. Although the building lost its monument status after the reconstruction, the facade of the Forsbacher Hof, which characterizes the center of Forsbach, could still be preserved.
Use after restoration
A building was erected on the site that offers both senior citizen apartments and care places for people with dementia.
