Franconian Kronwerk (Stralsund)
The Franken-Kronwerk (also Frankenkronwerk ) is a listed building on Klosterstrasse in Stralsund , on the corner of Frankendamm .
The structure was part of the Stralsund city fortifications . It was outside the old town, just before the old Frankentor. Stralsund was demolished in 1873. Remains of the building have been preserved from Prussian times, namely the long wall on Klosterstraße, which was rebuilt in the original course in 1809 after the razing of the Franconian Kronwerk after Stralsund was de-fortified, and the former Caponnière on the corner of Frankendamm.
The Caponiere with its two semicircular towers was probably built in the 1830s or 1840s at the same time as the outer Frankentor.
With the construction of the Frankenkaserne on Frankendamm between 1877 and 1880, a house for guns was added to the back of the wall of the former fortification .
In 1892 a plaque was placed in a niche; on this the stay of the Swedish King Karl XII. honored in 1715.
The building is located on the outskirts of the city area recognized by UNESCO as a world cultural heritage site of the “ historic old towns of Stralsund and Wismar ”. It is entered in the list of architectural monuments in Stralsund with the number 407.
Frankenkronwerk was also the street name of the section between the waterway and the slaughterhouse; since 1869 the section on which the Franken-Kronwerk is located has been part of the Frankendamm.
