description
According to Jörg Heimeshoff , the year of construction of the three-story secular building is unknown. In 1780 the facade was redesigned in the Baroque style. In 1957 the house was demolished except for the facade due to a lack of stability and then rebuilt. The building has a plastered facade that is divided into three axes. The entrance is on the right and shows a skylight . Door and window openings have dog-eared bottles. A relief of a black hip horn can be seen above the middle window on the ground floor, after which the house was named. In 1581 the house belonged to Johann von Berck, who was also called the Schwarzhorn . In the tympanum of the gable above the central axis there is a relief with the ducal coat of arms and the motto In Deo Spes Mea A 71 (In God is my hope, Anno 71).
history
The building was the town hall ( town hall ) in the suburbs until the 16th century . Mayor and the city council of Düsseldorf sold it to Johann von Berck between 1500 and 1532. One of Berck's descendants was Johann von Berck, who was called the Schwarzhorn and who was city councilor in 1581. The building belonged to the Berck family for a long time. It was finally acquired on May 13, 1639 by Heinrich Berck, electoral Brandenburg judge and rentmaster. Then the house came to Sevenaer, then to the married couple Erich Keller and Catharina Daniels. From 1661 it belonged to the baker Beter von Bockum and his wife Elisabeth Dehren. In 1715 the house belonged to the married couple Franz Adam Schmitz and Elisabeth Wolf. In 1758 it was one of the houses damaged by the Hanoverian bombardment. From 1774 Heinrich Joseph Juppen was an innkeeper here. It was sold in 1780. In 1793 the Russian Feldzeugmeister Freiherr von Elmpt visited the house. The poet Christian Dietrich Grabbe lived here at the beginning of the 19th century .
