Hainallee 1 (Weilburg)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pisé house from the west

The house Hainallee 1 (also Pisé-Haus , Haus Rath ) in the central Hessian town of Weilburg is considered to be the tallest Pisé building in the world , with six floors .

The building was constructed from 1825 to 1828 (according to other information around 1835) by Wilhelm Jacob Wimpf , who is considered to be the pioneer of the Pisé construction method in Germany. It should serve as a home for his children.

The house stands on the steep slope above Hainallee, only three of the six floors are visible from the Niedergasse above. Wimpf thus demonstrated the superiority of rammed earth in this typical Weilburg location. In the years that followed, numerous other residential buildings were built in this style in Weilburg.

In January 2016 it became known that the city of Weilburg had acquired the building in order to renovate it as part of the old town initiative and make it usable again as a residential building. This project is financially supported by the State of Hesse, among others.

As a cultural monument, the building at Hainallee 1 is part of the entire old town .
