The Goldener Helm house is located at Flinger Strasse 1 at the corner of Berger Strasse in the Altstadt district of the North Rhine-Westphalian state capital Düsseldorf . On November 10, 1983, it was entered in the city's list of monuments in the category of residential and residential buildings in the subcategory Baroque.

Building description

The construction time of the building is assessed differently. The city's list of monuments dates the facade to the 18th century, whereas the architectural guide for Düsseldorf specifies the 17th century as the construction period and the period around 1700 for the facade.

The facade shows a corner cuboid. The central axis is emphasized. The gable shape is unusual and shows a “relatively short, curly approach” with a “flat, triangular end”. Behind it is a mansard roof . The baroque gable, on the top of which is the eponymous, formerly gold-colored, now verdigris-colored helmet, faces Flinger Straße.

The interior was completely renewed in 1925 and 1932, and the portal was reconstructed in 1954. The shop window front on Flinger Strasse is located under an archway .

history

On the property, a building with the name The Golden Helmet was mentioned as early as 1657 . The merchant Jacob Engel ran a shop here in 1632 and 1663. At the end of the 18th century, the famous portrait painter Godfried Schalcken lived in the Golden Helmet after Johann Wilhelm von der Pfalz brought him to Düsseldorf from England. In 1704 Wilhelm Eichholtz owned the house, and in 1738 the merchant Hofstadt lived in the house as a tenant. In 1794 the house was owned by the widow Hofmann, in 1814 Gerhard Peill lived in it, who traded in the popular new tin-coated iron, health and kitchen utensils. Johann Baptist Madelrieu lived there until 1890 and ran an umbrella business here. The painter Wisling also had an apartment in the house.

Since 1955 there has been a sales room for the Peter Busch liqueur factory and the popular Killepitsch bar "Et Kabüffke" ("a small, dark room") on the ground floor . The traditional Uerige brewery is located opposite at the same crossing .
