Altländer house
The Altländer Haus is a marshland farmhouse from 1733 from Huttfleth in the Altes Land . It was acquired by the Stader Geschichts- und Heimatverein in 1913 and rebuilt on the island from 1913 to 1914. It is a bucket house with a hall , flett and chamber part. It has a richly decorated gable , cantilevered three times, with colored stone masonry.
The house can be viewed in the summer for a small fee.
history
Before the expansion of Stades into a Swedish fortress, the citizens' bleaching facility and a private bleaching facility were located between the later Königsmarck bastion and the Gründel bastion . The citizens' bleaching areas were meadows where the citizens could bleach their washed linen in the sun. In 1662 the two bastions were built and in 1692–1694 the Bleicher- Ravelin , today's island, was built from the rest of the Bleichwiesen . There, in the summer of 1773, Georg Christoph Lichtenberg, philosopher and astronomer from Göttingen, set up his field observatory in order to determine the geographic position of Stade as part of the Kurhanover land survey.
In 1825 a military bathing establishment was built on the island. The first restaurant on the island opened in 1846. At that time this could only be reached via a ferry boat . After the Bleicher Ravelin was softened, the island was connected to the Wiesenstrasse by a bridge and to the Inselstrasse by a floating bridge. As early as 1891 the city showed interest in buying the island. The military administration leased the island to the innkeeper Brauer.
From 1903 there were plans to build an open-air museum on the island. These were tackled in 1908/09 by Mayor Ado Jürgens , who was also chairman of the history and homeland association. When the widow of the innkeeper Brauer canceled the lease, the city of Stade was able to acquire the island from the military administration in 1909. Originally the city planned to build a new housekeeping school here. But after drilling showed that the bog soil reached a depth of six meters, another building site was chosen for the school. The island was leased to the association on April 1, 1910 by the city .
The design took the then still in Bremen working architect Prof. Emil Hogg and Bremer landscape architect Christian Roselius . In 1912 the island restaurant, the Island House , was built. It was a half-yard house from 1841 from Varel near Scheeßel . In 1913 the Altländer house from Huttfleth was acquired in 1733 . In the same year the island house burned down. Nevertheless, both buildings could be rebuilt on the island in 1914. Further acquisitions were not made until 1967.
On December 3, 1992, the island house burned down completely in an arson attack. In its place in 1993/94 the house at Himmelpforten No. 6 with a gable from 1641 was reconstructed.
