House "In the Three Japanese Martyrs"

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The house “In the Three Japanese Martyrs” at Benrather Strasse 11 in Düsseldorf is viewed both historically and architecturally. The historian Heinrich Ferber describes that the house, so called by the Jesuits, was also inhabited by the noble CE von Oven and the Winkelmann family. The architects Josef Kleesattel and Paul Sültenfuß paid tribute to the staircase decoration of the house. Josef Kleesattel attributes it to the French Empire - “an excellent staircase”. The house no longer exists.

history

The building was built by the Jesuits who built it in memory of the Jesuits among the martyrs of Nagasaki and named it "In the Three Japanese Martyrs". Later, Carl Engelbert von Oven lived in the house, then the Winkelmann family, then Miss Louise Siepermann. Around 1900 the building at Benrather Strasse 11 belonged to the municipal men's choir.

architecture

Josef Kleesattel notices the stairs in the building and attributes them to the French Empire :

"The building of the municipal men's choir [which] has an excellent empirical staircase."
