history
The three-storey, plastered, red gabled house with a gable roof and the distinctive four-step gable triangle was built around 1590 in the Renaissance era . Little from that time has survived. Around 1745 the gable was given two rococo- style Utluchten .
In 1910 the house was extensively rebuilt according to plans by Joseph Ostwald . The house was preserved thanks to a donation from the Rohland Foundation . But a floor was added and the floors of the old building now moved up one floor. The Utluchten became bay windows on consoles. The sandstone facade decoration was preserved.
In 1965 a renovation took place with a colored new version of the facade. The adviser was the monument conservator Karl Dillschneider .
In 1980 the house came into the possession of the Weser-Kurier . Another modernization took place, in which the facade had to be dismantled and rebuilt. Behind the front small gabled part of the house there is an elongated, four-story office building and on the ground floor the concert box office of the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen .
The State Office for Monument Preservation Bremen found: “Opposite the Essighaus, another gable building helps to at least rudiment the old character of Langenstrasse in its front area .... Despite its complex history and its exterior, which no longer represents the state of 1745 this fragmentary building is important today as part of an emotionally charged historical ensemble. "
The buildings at Haus Langenstrasse 11: Bookstore Storm , bank for trade and commerce , Haus Langenstrasse 16, Bankhaus Martens and Weyhausen / Essighaus , city scales with coats of arms, reliefs and fountains as well as the office building on the market form the listed ensemble on Langenstrasse (No. 2 to 16, 18, 25).
