The Gasthaus Sonne or "zum Churfürsten" was an inn at Sülmerstrasse 52 in Heilbronn .

history

The inn, remodeled in 1796/97, was once the patrician farm Georg Aff and the most famous Heilbronn inn in the 18th century, where Goethe also stayed in 1797 . The building was also captured in a lithograph by the Wolff brothers . Its north gable wall, which had been preserved, was removed on February 28, 1949.

architecture

The building was made entirely of sandstone and enclosed an atrium with three wings. The show facade was on Sülmerstrasse and was divided into seven axes.

Basement zone with mezzanine

A mezzanine rose above the basement . This area ended at the top with a belt cornice , which ran through at the level of the upper floor floor. Up to this cornice, the facade of the basement zone with mezzanine had an elaborate rustication .

Triaxial middle section with gate

Up to the level of the cornice kragte a triaxial central part - of the otherwise seven-show facade - risalitartig ago. Consoles that supported a balcony slab cantilevered from the brick pilasters (“wall pillars”) of the central projectile . In the ground floor zone, in the middle of the three-axis risalit, there was an entrance gate with a “roughly carved” double-leaf door. At the top, the gate had an arch with a richly carved skylight that was actually a mezzanine window. The entrance led through to the inner courtyard. To the left of the driveway, towards the courtyard, was the “beautiful wide main staircase” with “fine wooden railing”.

Mezzanine corner room

Goethe lived in the mezzanine corner room at the corner of Sülmerstrasse and Sonnengasse (formerly Sesslergasse) when he was in Heilbronn from August 26th to August 29th, 1797 before sunrise during his 3rd trip to Switzerland. There was a memorial plaque on the inn to commemorate Goethe's visit. The original plaque is now in the lapidarium , a cast of it has been in front of the Helene-Lange-Realschule since December 2009 .

Upper floor zone

Above the basement with a mezzanine, two full floors and a top floor rose. Between the second floor and the attic there was a “strong main cornice with a tooth cut ”. Both the two full floors and the top floor were connected to each other by a strong vertical emphasis: “Flat plaster pilaster strips ” flanked the central axis above the balcony, which ran through the two full floors and the top floor.

First floor: Beletage

The first floor was the main floor . Here was the spacious balcony, which encompassed three axes and bordered a wrought iron railing. The window openings on the first floor, the bel étage, were barred in the lower part. The first floor had a gallery on three sides after the courtyard, which was bordered by the same “fine wooden railing” of the broad main staircase in the courtyard.

Remaining floors

The windows and balcony doors on the upper floors had a profiled stone frame and had horizontal roofs resting on consoles .

Art historical significance

The building, which was rebuilt in 1796/97, is assigned to the classical style. Gossenberger assigns the building to the Empire style . He also mentions the architect Johann Leonhard Krutthofen (Gruthofer, Grudhofer, Krutthofer) (* 1752), master builder of Karlsberg Palace , who can be verified in Zweibrücken as a builder . Gossenberger quotes Goethe:

" The Wirths building was built by a master builder from Zweibrücken, who stayed in Paris and who specified both the whole and the individual "
