description

"Schinkel Pavilion" in the north park

The one-storey plastered building, in the classical style, is about 15 by 7.5 meters and has a hipped roof. In the middle of the five-axis front there is a projecting portico with a flat gable, triglyph frieze and four Doric columns.

history

The building was built in the 1830s, presumably according to plans by a student of Karl Friedrich Schinkel, in the spacious garden of the Osthoff family's villa on Detmolder Straße . While the main building was partially destroyed in the Second World War , the garden house remained undamaged.

In 1953 the area was parceled out and sold, which would have meant the destruction of the garden house despite the monument protection. The only solution was to demolish it piece by piece and rebuild it in another place. The choice for the new location fell on the Nordpark , as there was a large area available and the construction of a milk room was planned anyway.

The outer walls of the building were originally made of natural stone, the inner walls were half-timbered structures. During the reconstruction, all walls were built in modern sand-lime brick . Windows, shutters and external doors, cornices, cloaks and sills as well as the pillars, frieze, floor and steps of the portico are original. In June 1954, the reconstruction was essentially complete. The building has been used for gastronomy since 1955. Until 2011, this use was limited to the summer months.

After the facades showed significant damage in 2009, renovation was carried out in 2011. The rear of the building was expanded to include a modern, heatable annex to enable the Park Café to be open all year round.
