House Luxemburger Strasse 34 (Cologne)
The house at Luxemburger Straße 34 in the Neustadt-Süd district of Cologne is located at the beginning of Luxemburger Straße and was built by the Düsseldorf architects Hubert Jacobs and Gottfried Wehling in 1886/1887. Remnants of it have been preserved.
description
The two-storey residential building with a caryatid portal belonged to the “quality of the Ringstrasse architecture” in terms of the “richness of execution”. A banding was carried out up to the semicircular window gable. On the left side there was a risalit with a double loggia and above it a volute gable . The brick facade was adorned with decorative wall anchors .
The ground floor of this house with the portal flanked by caryatids has been preserved. It has already become a rarity, since “nothing has been preserved from all the other houses in this style group mentioned so far and from the numerous comparable ones”.
The bar Schmelztiegel is currently (2018) on the ground floor of the residential building .
