Architecture in Frankfurt (Oder)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Frankfurt (Oder) has a history that goes back to 1253 and is testified by many buildings. Many were destroyed in 1945 in the last days of the Second World War.

The historic buildings include the Marienkirche , the Holy Cross Church , the Friedenskirche , the large college building of the Brandenburg University of Frankfurt , the Bismarck Tower (Frankfurt-Lichtenberg) and the Carthusian Monastery .

Leipzig Garden / Polonia

Leipziger Garten, since 1969 Polonia, is a hotel building on Leipziger Strasse, on the ground floor of which a well-known Frankfurt restaurant was operated from 1878 to 1991.

Polonia 2016

In the years that followed, the “Leipziger Garten” restaurant was opened in Leipziger Strasse in 1878. Dance evenings were held here on the weekends and there were concerts in the colonnade garden. The rooms were also used for various meetings. Among other things, for the Beresinchen district association from 1891. In January 1941 a modernization took place and a music podium was installed in the hall of the house. There was also a champagne and cockatoo bar, a blue room as a coffee room, a dining room and a bar room. The building survived the Second World War and therefore in January 1949 the HO was able to set up a free restaurant , the Leipziger Garten . In the largest restaurant in Frankfurt at the time, you could eat without ration cards and therefore at very high prices. The building was later rebuilt and opened on March 29, 1969 as the Polish specialty restaurant Polonia . Eleven Polish cooks and 19 waiters worked here for a maximum of 120 guests. The end of the GDR also meant the end for the restaurant, which was closed in the summer of 1991. In 1992 a Polish brewery owner bought the building from the Treuhand in order to build a four-star hotel, but did not realize these plans. Around 2010, the Berlin real estate businessman with Ukrainian roots Viktor Zdesenko bought the building. He had it renovated from 2014 and converted into a hostel and apartment block. In April 2018, the Polonia opened as a 3-star hostel. Commercial spaces are available for rent on the ground floor.

Excursion bar "Eldorado"

BW

The office building in Buschmühlenweg was built in 1875. The restaurant Eldorado moved in there later . After the Socialist Law was abolished in 1890 , but the city nevertheless tried to prevent such meetings, the Eldorado was used as a meeting place by socialist-minded Frankfurters. Arriving police were reported in good time using a reporting system and the meetings could be resolved in good time. The building's dance hall was 21 meters long and could hold up to 530 visitors. The shoe factory Germania of Messrs. Albert Schulz & Co was set up in the building 1937th During the Second World War, the company mainly produced military boots, then wooden and children's shoes for the Frankfurt social welfare office and for resellers. In the late 1950s, the building then went to PGH Raumkunst and was vacant for a long time after 1990. In 2006 it was the seat of the LZR assembly .

Rectory of St. Gertraud's Church / YMCA youth center

Rectory of St. Getraud's Church / YMCA youth center

At Lindenstrasse 8, at the corner of Gubener Strasse, there is a house that is used by the Christian Association of Young People ( YMCA ). The monument was erected in 1830/31 and used as a rectory for the St. Gertrauden parish . In 1932/33 the building was expanded to include the side wing on what is now Gubener Strasse. In the 1970s the city considered demolishing the building, which the church was able to prevent. After extensive construction work, the building was opened in 1991 as the YMCA youth center. The building was built in the classical style and has a half-hip roof with a curved dormer .

Entrepreneur's villa at Pushkinstrasse 53

Entrepreneur's villa at Pushkinstrasse 53

The entrepreneur's villa at Puschkinstrasse 53 was completed in November 1925 by the building contractor Alfred Schröter according to plans by the architect Peter . The house has a gable roof with a slope of 55 °. The initials AS of the client Alfred Schröter are on the keystone above the entrance door . Until 1946 the address was Yellow Press 32 . From 1945 to 1994 the building was the seat of the city ​​commander of the Soviet army and his staff. The house was renovated in 1996. Today the building houses a law firm and a doctor's practice for naturopathy.

Villa Rudolf-Breitscheid-Strasse 13

The Art Nouveau villa at Rudolf-Breitscheid-Straße 13 was built in 1902/1903 according to plans by the Breslau architect Hermann Wahlich . The client was the Frankfurt city councilor Richard Bauer . In addition to the private rooms, there was a reception room and a guest room. The Allgemeine Ortskrankenkasse applied for commercial use of the premises in 1927, so it was probably the same year that it became the owner of the building. After the end of the Second World War, the Soviet occupiers took over the building, later it was used as the DSF house and then as the House of People's Solidarity for pensioners. The AOK has been located there again since 2006.

Jewish hospital

The Jewish hospital was located at Rosenstrasse 36. In place of the old Jewish hospital, a new one was to be built in the 1830s. The first cost estimate for the construction of the building was made on July 17, 1834 and amounted to 2,119 thalers , the second was made on January 28, 1837 with a total of 3,835 thalers. The building application for the building was submitted on May 4, 1837. The construction was financed by the members of the Jewish community. The actual construction took eight months and the inauguration took place on May 13, 1838 at 11:00 a.m. The two-story building with a basement was roughly square with a side length of about 12 meters. On the ground floor there was a kitchen, three rooms with two windows each and a room which was about half the size of the rooms. The layout on the first floor was similar, in the place of the kitchen there was another room. In the attic there were two more rooms which were probably intended for the house servants. The first floor had four windows on the front, the upper floor five. Overall, the hospital had a capacity of 15 beds, two in each of the infirmaries and one in each of the sickrooms.

The word “Jewish Hospital” was written in large letters all over the front. The back bordered on the Bürgerpark , which was planned by Peter Joseph Lenné at the same time, and preserved parts of the former city wall. With a total capacity of only 15 beds, this hospital was less well equipped than the city hospital. Since most of the Jews living in Frankfurt (Oder) already belong to the upper middle class and are therefore financially well equipped, they prefer to be treated at home by their personal physician. After 1840 it must have finally become clear that the Jewish hospital was not economically viable to run. In order not to leave the building unused, Jewish traders were quartered there at the time of the fair.

From 1866 single "old and sick" were accommodated in the hospital. This means that it was converted into a retirement home and was used as such by poorer Frankfurt Jews until the 1930s.

From 1935 the National Socialists had Jewish citizens forcibly confined to so-called “ Jewish houses ” in order to displace them from their houses and apartments and to separate Germans of non-Jewish origin from those of Jewish origin. This ghettoization is already preparing for their transport to the extermination camps. When and how the Jewish hospital was first instrumentalized by the National Socialists as a "Jewish house" can no longer be determined. The first evidence comes from a "transport list" from 1942. Of the 24 Frankfurt Jews listed there, 20 people lived at Rosenstrasse 36. Three of them were at Wollenweberstrasse 60 next to the synagogue at the time of their deportation, which indicates that this building represented a second “collection point” for Jewish citizens. The former (non-Jewish) cemetery gardener of the Jewish community reported after 1945 that living conditions in the “Judenhaus” were characterized by hunger and cold in winter without heating material.

Before 1953 the Jewish hospital was demolished in favor of residential development.

Water tower / planetarium

Water tower / planetarium, Mühlenweg 48

The old water tower was built from 1873 to 1874. The planning came from the director of the municipal waterworks, the engineer Friedrich Schmetzer (1842-1918). The construction costs amounted to 108,300 marks . The first floor contained a room for a small boiler, a vestibule and the stairwell. The rooms on the first and second floors were used as apartments. The wrought iron container had a capacity of 400 m³. A viewing platform was integrated into the roof.

In 1970 the physics teacher Willi Geiseler received the order to have the water container removed and to set up a planetarium there. A small planetarium ZKP 1 from the optical combine Carl Zeiss Jena was installed . The planetarium was used from 1978 for astronomy lessons. The Pestalozzi School , today's Heinrich von Kleist Oberschule , set up a photo laboratory directly under the planetarium . The planetarium and the viewing platform can still be visited today.

Water house at Leipziger Strasse 151–153

BW

The water house in Leipziger Strasse 151–153 was originally intended to supply the new districts of Frankfurt under construction with water. The building was originally designed only as a residential building for the building cooperative for smaller apartments . After the pending problems with the water supply were recognized, the newly built house received a high-pressure tank on the roof in 1897 and the necessary machines in the basement. However, shortly after its construction it became clear that this facility was insufficiently up to the task. In spite of everything, the company did not stop until 1936. When it was built, the address of the house was Leipziger Strasse 83 / 83a / 84 . During the GDR period this was changed to Wilhelm-Pieckstraße 258/259 .

Magistrale

Frankfurt (Oder), view from the Oderturm to the north. On the left edge of the picture the section of Karl-Marx-Straße called “Magistrale”.

On August 4, 1956, the foundation stone for the construction of new houses in the old town, which was destroyed at the end of the Second World War, began on Karl-Marx-Strasse . The development planning was carried out by VEB Hochbauprojektierung Frankfurt . The distance between the curbs of the street is 19.20 meters and there are two tram tracks in the middle. The houses facing each other on the main road are between 42 and 58 meters apart. The completion took place in 1963/1964. The six newly built apartment blocks each had space for shops on the ground floor. The street is a listed building.

Lutherstift

Lutherstift 2016

For the 400th birthday of Martin Luther, the association "Luther Foundation in Frankfurt an der Oder" was founded in 1883 by Frankfurt citizens. The aim was to establish a deaconess mother and hospital in the city. On October 26, 1891, the first superior moved into the newly built house on what was then the southern edge of Frankfurt with a young chief physician and two Stettin deaconesses. The chapel, built over three floors, is still in the center of the building today. In addition to the empty building, the doctor and nurses only had thirty marks available to set up the work at Lutherstift. The application for the construction of today's Lutherstift , Heinrich-Hildebrand-Straße 22/23, was made in March 1914. The First World War, which had broken out in the meantime, accelerated construction, so that it was handed over as Kaiser Wilhelm Stift at the end of September . At the beginning, the monastery was used as a hospital, before it was used after the end of the war, as originally intended, to accommodate the elderly. The house kept this function until the end of the Second World War. Subsequently, after a short period of use by the Red Army, the building was geared towards gynecology and obstetrics. A neonatal ward ( neonatology ) was added later. Today, geriatric patients are mainly treated at the Frankfurt (Oder) location of the Evangelical Hospital Lutherstift Frankfurt (Oder) / Seelow .

Villa Trowitzsch / Villa Hahn

Villa Trowitzsch.

The Villa Hahn is a listed building at Heilbronner Straße 19. Eugen Trowitzsch , owner of the royal book printing company Trowitzsch & Sohn, acquired the property in 1887 with the representative postal address Wilhelmsplatz 21 , which was built on with buildings from the former Frankfurt wax candle factory. Trowitzsch had this torn down and built a villa, an editorial building and a farm building in 1887–89 by the Berlin architects Hugo Mahrenholz and Carl Throniker. The Hahn couple moved in at the beginning of the 1920s . The two doctors converted the editorial building into a doctor's practice and practiced there until the 1960s. On June 15, 1965, the gallery of Junge Kunst opened its doors on the lower floor. Hedwig Hahn, née Trowitzsch , lived in the building until her death in 1980; her husband had died in 1972. In the following years the entire building was used for the Galerie Junge Kunst . From 1983 to 1985 the exhibition rooms were redesigned and expanded. In 2003 the city sold the building and the administration, the cabinet and deport of the Museum Junge Kunst moved to the Packhof at 11 Carl-Phillip-Emanuel-Bach-Straße. After a complete reconstruction in 2005/2006, the kbz office is located in the Villa Hahn building. Lawyers tax consultants. In 2013, a fountain from the time the villa was built was uncovered in the front garden, which had been hidden under a layer of earth for 40 years.

Bachgasse depot and power station

Bachgasse depot 2013

After several years of discussions about the type of drive for the Frankfurt (Oder) tram , Lord Mayor Paul Adolph signed a contract with AEG on April 22, 1896 . Therese Adolfine Jeanette von Oppen (* July 24, 1829 in Siede ; † March 3, 1909 in Frankfurt (Oder)), the widow of the Upper Government Council, Royal Prussian dyke captain and the building of a tram depot including power station, was the property of Fischerstraße 6 / Bachgasse 4 Majors a. D. Wilhelm Karl Alexander Heinrich Graf Finck von Finckenstein (1815–1876) acquired. There was a nursery and an overgrown park on the site. The existing house from the 18th century became the administration building. On December 20, 1897, the power station, built as a direct current plant, began trial operation. In the boiler house there were three water tube boilers manufactured by A. Borsig in Berlin , which were fed by two duplex steam pumps supplied by Weise & Monski in Halle. Three steam engines from Escher, Wyss & Co in Zurich , each with 200 hp, were installed in the machine hall. Each machine was connected to two four-pole dynamo machines by long belts. One unit was used for railway operations, the other for lighting purposes. The third served as a substitute for both purposes, as needed. The track and light battery - the first consisted of 250 and the second of 146 elements - was housed in a separate room. The lighting network was expanded for a consumption of 4,000 incandescent lamps from 16 normal candles that were burning at the same time. After a successful trial run, the power station was deemed to have opened on December 23, 1897. On January 22, 1898, the depot in Bachgasse was inaugurated at the same time as the electric tram began operating in Frankfurt. As early as 1899, an application was made to expand the depot.

The disadvantage of the location is the only 100 m distance to the Oder. The area was unusable during the annual floods. Vehicles and workshop had to be temporarily outsourced.

Another car shed was built in the 1920s, as the number of cars had more than doubled since 1898 from 31 multiple units and sidecars to 73 vehicles and seven work cars in 1927. In the 1940s the depot had 15 tracks, one track to the workshop and one track to the locksmith's shop on Fischerstraße.

At the beginning of the 1980s, some construction work was carried out to maintain the Bachgasse depot. In 1985 the Wendeschleife Große Oderstraße (now the European University) was built. When it was built, the access to the car hall and workshop was changed. Instead of the west, the tracks now led into the halls from the east, so that the railways ran backwards into the facility. A small car wash was created. The structures had hardly been renovated since they were built. The working conditions were very bad. The construction of a new depot in the Neuberesinchen district had already begun in 1988, which was gradually continued from 1990 after the fall of the Wall and reunification and was officially opened in May 1999. Since then, the Bachgasse depot has been gradually taken out of service.

Since 1999 the association "Historische Straßenbahnen Frankfurt (Oder) eV" (formerly Museum Workshop for Technology & Transport Frankfurt (Oder) eV) has been located in a part of the old tram depot and houses, among other things, historic trams built in 1936.

Lodge house

Lodge house 2012

The Logenhaus is a late Classicist building at Logenstrasse 12, which was built in 1845 by the “St. Johannis Freemason Lodge for the Honest Heart”.

In the south, adjacent to the city wall, there was an outwork that belonged to the St. Spiritus Hospital. In 1772 the Schönian family took it over on a long lease . The property bordering on the east was acquired in 1781 by the merchant Hanisch on behalf of the "St. Johannis Freemason Lodge Zum Aufrichtigen Herzen", of which he was a member. The Masonic Lodge was reactivated on February 23, 1776 and installed on March 2 of that year. The lodge brothers enlarged the garden house near the city wall and made it their meeting house. The property wasn't very wide. For this reason, a hall extension in the form of a side wing was added in 1815. In 1817 the lodge was able to lease further land on the western side of the property from the veterinarian Carl Ludwig Schönian. In 1844 Schönian wanted to buy his land, which had previously been a long-term lease, from the owner, the St. Spiritus Hospital. The representatives of the hospital, the hospital deputation, excluded the land that Schönian had sublet to the lodge from the contract of sale. So the lodge could acquire the land itself. The purchase contract was signed on March 22, 1844.

The city wall adjoining the property in the north was leveled in the first half of the 19th century. In its place a street was built, which was called Logenstraße.

The lodge brothers had the old summer house on the street demolished. In 1845 construction began on a new, larger box building in the late classicist style with the entrance to Logenstrasse, which is still there today.

The garden behind the house, which has not been preserved, is said to have been designed by Peter Joseph Lenné .

Seal of the Lodge to the honest heart in Frankfurt a./O.

In 1935 the complex was expanded to include the 11 Logenstrasse building. In the same year Freemasonry was banned in Germany . The military replacement inspection moved into the building. In 1937 the building at Logenstrasse 12 was increased. After 1945 the building complex was the provisional town hall of the city of Frankfurt and until the dissolution of the GDR in 1990 the seat of the district headquarters of the People's Police . After the fall of the Wall , the Masonic Lodge was given back the house in which there was originally also a dark chamber , in which candidates passed part of the admission rituals. In 2007 the Freemasons sold the building complex Logenstrasse 11/12 to the State of Brandenburg for lease to the university. From March 2010, the buildings were renovated for 7.2 million euros. During the renovation, wall paintings from 1926 were exposed in the ballroom and partially restored. In May 2013, the building of the European University Viadrina was handed over, which it uses as a seminar, office and administration building for the Faculty of Cultural Studies.

Mass grave in the basement of the lodge house

In September 2010, a mass grave was discovered in the basement of the lodge house, which was cut through the foundations of the building. It was severely disturbed by the overbuilding and only preserved at the base. Button finds from the grave point to the 18th century. Remains of 28 skeletons were found. Another three people could be recorded from collection bones. As far as can be proven, mostly young men were buried in the grave, who were exposed to heavy physical strain during their lifetime. That most likely identifies you as a member of an army. However, there was only one case of evidence of acute violence, which spoke against a direct connection to a battle or a combat event. Since infectious diseases such as typhus , dysentery or plague leave no traces on bones, the dead could have been members of the army who fell victim to an epidemic. For fear of infection, normal burials were no longer carried out during the epidemic, but the deceased were buried as quickly as possible. The burial places were meadows, gardens or fields where the dead often remained unburied for days or were quickly buried in mass graves. In the 18th century, numerous epidemics such as plague, nervous fever and smallpox epidemics have survived in Frankfurt (Oder) . It was assumed that the construction of the mass grave was connected with events in the Seven Years' War and the battle of Kunersdorf on August 12, 1759.

Synagogue in Tuchmacherstrasse

Interior of the synagogue around 1912. View to the northeast.

After a pogrom at the beginning of the 16th century, the site of the first synagogue in Frankfurt became the property of the Frankfurt University, which built its college building there.

After centuries of persecution, the situation of the Jews in Prussia changed fundamentally in the 19th century. 1,808 Jewish residents of Frankfurt were given their first opportunity in the citizen book to register the city. The restrictions on right of residence and occupation have also been lifted. At least legally, the Jews became equal citizens of the city of Frankfurt and also received Prussian citizenship. The reforms brought security and prosperity to the Jewish people. A liberal climate emerged in which Jews and non-Jews lived and worked together. Due to the educational offer and the new professional development opportunities, many Jews migrated from the country to the cities. The Jewish community in Frankfurt also grew rapidly after this time.

In 1822 the liberal Jewish community decided to build a new synagogue. In order to meet the new space requirements, an existing building at Tuchmacherstraße 60 was enlarged and moved about one meter to the sidewalk. The municipality had this project approved by government agencies, but failed to obtain approval from the city of Frankfurt. A prestige dispute that broke out then only ended after a generous donation from the parishioners to the city. The synagogue consecration took place on September 4, 1823. The congregation sang Hebrew songs written by Vice Rabbi Hirsch Meyer Baschwitz (born December 23, 1752 in Frankfurt; died November 26, 1837 in Frankfurt). Rabbi's Hirsch Meyer Baschwitz 'open attitude towards non-Jewish neighbors was evident in his speech in German. The elders of the liberal Jewish community had invited all Christian clergy in Frankfurt. Pastor Christian Wilhelm Spieker and Karl Adolf Menzel were prevented from attending the ceremony, but both sent greetings.

The synagogue was a one-story building in the classical style. The Holy Ark was let into the east side of the simple interior . It was framed by two Corinthian columns and a triangular pediment placed on top. Four windows led to the west, to Tuchmacherstrasse. The main access was via the Jewish Culture House on Richtstrasse.

Not all Jewish residents of Frankfurt agreed to the reform of their faith. Especially Jewish immigrants from Eastern European countries stuck to their Orthodox traditions. In 1836 the community broke up. The followers of Orthodox Judaism left the liberal synagogue and henceforth meet in different places. From 1924 to 1934 the Orthodox community had a prayer room at Grosse Scharrnstrasse 34.

In 1882, a second access for women to the elevated women's gallery was created. The liberal community had the Sauer company built in an organ in 1892 . Since then, people have also spoken of the "organ synagogue". The organ had one manual and nine stops.

The synagogue was set on fire during the November 1938 pogroms , which were staged and meticulously prepared by the National Socialists . The fire brigade was already on site the day before November 9, 1938 and wet the roofs of the houses adjacent to the synagogue as a preventive measure. The interior was destroyed or burned, and the windows were cracked from the heat. The building itself survived the pillage relatively unscathed. After that it was used as a paper warehouse until the collapse of National Socialism in 1945. Before 1953, the synagogue was torn down in favor of residential development.

Seven ravens

Seven ravens 1912
View of seven ravens and town hall 2009

Seven ravens was a group of houses on the Rathausmarkt in Frankfurt (Oder). After it was destroyed at the end of World War II, only the cellar walls remained. 1995–1996 a residential and commercial building in the dimensions of the historical building was built on the foundation walls.

The name Am Salzmarkt for the location of the group of houses is documented for the 16th century. The oldest known representation of the houses is the view of the Frankfurt market by Johann Stridbeck from 1691. The origin of the popular name seven ravens could not be explained satisfactorily. The first evidence of the name comes from 1912.

The block was in the middle of the market, parallel to the town hall. The houses were numbered twice - Markt 1–7 and Große Scharrnstraße 63–68 A. The findings of archaeological excavations and information from written sources agree that there were eight houses earlier; this has been documented since the 2nd half of the 17th century at the latest. In archaeological excavations 1992–1993, in addition to numerous recent conversions and installations, four medieval construction phases were found.

A large, hall-like building forms the core of the complex. It was built around the turn of the 13th and 14th centuries. Thus, together with the neighboring town hall, it is one of the oldest partially preserved secular buildings in Frankfurt. The narrow, hall-like house stood parallel to the town hall and was almost the same length. Based on the size, the exposed location and the rich shape of the walls with niches, windows and entrances, it is concluded that it is a communal facility. It could be the city department store, the construction of which was approved in the city's charter of 1253. The walls consisted of mixed masonry with masonry bricks in the monastery format and field stones. The mortar was light whitish and very hard. In the lower part of the east wall, broken roof tiles in the monk and nun format were used to compensate for the field stones up to the lower edge of the niches . The walls were built very carefully and grouted neatly. The basement was probably provided with a flat beamed ceiling. In the west wall there were six entrances with brick cheeks. The floor was paved with larger pebbles. From the masonry of the longitudinal walls, stones protruded at regular intervals, which should enable the integration of transverse walls. From this it can be concluded that an expansion to the east was originally planned, but was never carried out. This is also supported by the careful execution of the eastern outer cellar wall.

By the 16th century at the latest, the complex was privatized and divided, rebuilt and converted into a number of town houses. The front side of the houses was initially facing east towards the town hall. In 1864, however, the masonry scrapers on the west side of the town hall were torn down. As a result, business shifted to the other side of the Seven Ravens. This went hand in hand with a number of structural changes; especially on the ground floors, but also in the cellars. The front side of the house group with shop windows now faced Grosse Scharrnstrasse. Until 1945, the upper floors of the houses served as apartments. The ground floor and parts of the basement were used commercially as shops, workshops and storage rooms. Shortly before the end of the Second World War, some cellars were converted into air raid shelters. In the last days of the Second World War, the group of houses fell victim to fire in May 1945. In some cases, the conflagration reached into the cellar. When the ruins were removed from 1948 to 1949, the vaults of the cellars, which were largely preserved, were destroyed so that the cellars could be filled with rubble. The area was leveled.

1991–1995 the construction of a residential and commercial building on the foundation walls in the historical dimensions of the seven ravens group of houses was planned. In the run-up to the new construction, archaeological excavations were carried out by the Viadrina Museum from May 1992 to summer 1993. 1995–1996 the residential and commercial building was built. It is 55.5 m long and 13 m wide. One section does not have a basement.

Houses at Fontanestraße 1, 2 and 3 in 2020, built for the 1934 building show in Frankfurt (Oder)

In 1934 there was an exhibition in Frankfurt (Oder) for townhouses and housing estates, which could be built quickly and cheaply by local construction companies with existing resources and knowledge. The show took place on a partially built-up area near the Paulinenhof housing estate, which was built until 1925, and the “Deutsches Heim” building complexes built in 1928. Three single-family houses and one double house were built, which have been preserved to this day. They are on the streets Fontanestrasse and Käthe-Kollwitz-Strasse. A weekend home was also built. On the site there was a parking lot, a courtyard, a shopping street, horticultural facilities, a fountain, a department of the Frankfurt nurseries Jungclaussen, free stands in which, among other things, local construction companies presented themselves, an exhibition on architecture and technology and a refreshment tent.

House I, Fontanestrasse 3, was built and furnished as a model house by the Bachus, Losensky and Schillinger consortium. The construction costs were therefore 16,000 Reichsmarks (around 72,000 euros). The costs without equipment should be around 12,000–14,000 RM (around 54,000–63,000 EUR). The floor space is 8 × 9.50 m. The house has a basement and has a ground floor, first floor a converted attic. The living room and dining room were merged on the ground floor. From the kitchen there is a double lockable hatch to the dining area. A pantry, cloakroom and toilet were also set up. The dining room has its own door to a house gazebo. Upstairs there are three rooms, a bathroom and a storage room. A drying floor , a room for servants and a guest room were provided in the attic . Central heating was installed. A gas connection was not provided, the kitchen stove was operated electrically.

House II, Fontanestrasse 2, has external dimensions of 7.80 (without porch) × 8.70 m. The pure construction costs were 7,000–8,000 RM (around 31,000–36,000 EUR). It was built by Bauhütte GmbH based on designs by the architect Rotzoll. The house has a complete basement. There are four rooms, kitchen, bathroom and storage rooms.

House III, Fontanestrasse 1, was also built by Bauhütte GmbH based on designs by the architect Rotzoll. It has 4½ rooms, a hall with vestibule, bathroom, cloakroom, a cellar and a drying floor.

Houses IV and V, Käthe-Kollwitz-Straße 31 and 32, are a semi-detached house . The house at Käthe-Kollwitz-Straße 32 is a single-family house with four rooms. The house at Käthe-Kollwitz-Straße 31 has two apartments with three rooms each. The entire building has a basement. The attic was prepared for further expansion. A basement room is designed as a garage facing the street. The single-family house had stove heating, but no gas connection. The two-family house also had stoves, and the stoves in the kitchens ran on gas. The apartments each have two rooms facing the street and one room each and the kitchen facing the garden. The lower apartment has a veranda. There are no sloping walls in the upper apartment thanks to the clever construction.
