The fruit box in Scheer on the Danube is a former utility building belonging to the Thurn und Taxis family , which has been classified as a cultural monument of particular importance by the Baden-Württemberg State Monuments Office .
history
The imperial counts Waldburg-Scheer began to build a new residence in 1659, but it was never fully completed. For a long time it was assumed that the building now known as the Scheer fruit box was the main building of this residence and was named after its use as a manorial fruit box in the 18th and 19th centuries. However, at the beginning of the 21st century, dendrochronological studies showed that construction actually only began in 1788 or 1789 and the building was erected by the princes of Thurn and Taxis . In the middle of the 19th century, the building was sold to the local brewery Götz, who used it for brewery and malting purposes from 1862 after various renovations. Even after the brewing operations were stopped at the end of the 20th century, the former palace was initially used as a warehouse. In 2001 there was still no monument protection, a demolition permit was already available, which was not used, so that the building could finally be protected. The current owner, the city of Scheer, offered the building for sale in 2014.
Current usage
In September 2016, the Scheer City Council decided to build a sports or multi-purpose hall on the former brewery site. It was decided to build a pure sports hall as the preferred version, while at the same time converting the fruit box into a meeting place for cultural events. However, the municipal council made financial feasibility a prerequisite for this variant, depending on the expected subsidies. If the subsidies are not received, the fruit box should not be converted and the new hall to be built should be designed as a multi-purpose hall. Following the municipal council meeting, a support association for the preservation of historical buildings was founded in Scheer with the express purpose of preserving the fruit box. In March 2017 it became known that the application for inclusion in the federal funding program National Urban Development Projects was unsuccessful. After a renewed application, Scheer was accepted into the funding program in April 2019 and received a funding commitment of 3.35 million euros for the planned renovation. The project description says: "With the renovation and expansion of the building with its varied history of use from aristocratic to rural purposes, an impulse project is being created in rural areas that can give the small town a new center."
Details
The house is located at Sigmaringer Strasse 13 ( Bundesstrasse 32 ) on the outskirts of Scheer in the direction of Sigmaringendorf , around 200 m northeast of the Danube . The building is a plastered half-timbered building with four floors and a vaulted cellar. In the first construction phase, the building was erected in 1788/89 on a spacious basement with a pillar-free ground floor, but the use at that time could not be determined with certainty from the building findings. In the first attic storey (mansard storey) there was a narrow central corridor with six individual rooms on each side, a small staircase and probably a side toilet was also built. In a first renovation phase in 1804/05, the ground floor was provided with a central longitudinal wall and the baroque hanging frames on the upper floor and in the attic were removed. At the same time, new trusses were installed on the first and second floors to support the wide-span ceilings. In this way, all the baroque interior walls were removed and the storeys, which had previously been divided into individual rooms, could now be used as undivided storage areas. Further structural changes took place during the brewery's use between 1862 and 2000, but these were not examined in terms of the history of the building.
The brewery's old brewhouse and a silo from the second half of the 20th century were attached to the building until winter 2017/18. These buildings have since been demolished.
