location

The Sabelsberg house is at Sabelstrasse 27 in Boppard. It is located on today's south-western edge of the Boppard district of the city of Boppard below the central terrace Sabel, after which the villa and the street were named. Access to the villa is through a gatehouse, which is located at the confluence of Buchholzer Strasse and Sabelstrasse.

history

In 1910, Baroness von Böskeneck had the Sabelsberg house built as a villa with a surrounding park and coach house. During the inflation, Baroness von Böskeneck became impoverished and in 1923 sold the house to a Dutch businessman. Between 1925 and 1926, the Rheydt local health insurance fund bought the villa and converted it into a rest home for its insured persons. The coach house was converted into a bathhouse. The house was named Rheydt Hospital and a three-meter-high Rheydt city coat of arms, which is no longer available today, was attached to the main gable. By law, the Sabelsberg house was transferred to the Düsseldorf State Insurance Company in 1934 . In 1945, after the end of the Second World War , the former villa was initially used as a recreation area for soldiers of the British Royal Air Force . Later it was also used as a recreation area by American soldiers. During the French occupation, the house was then used as an officers' mess. In 1948 the state insurance company got the house back and began to renovate the house. After the house was confiscated again in 1949, the state insurance company lost interest and the former villa was vacant in the following years.

In 1956, the Hospital of the Holy Spirit Foundation acquired the Sabelsberg House including the park for 680,000 DM. In order to obtain space for an expansion of the hospital on the Rhine, the Borromean Order received House Sabelsberg in an exchange . The Borromean Sisters gave the Carolus House next to the hospital and the staff house on Niederstadtstrasse to the foundation. In addition to the hospital, the Borromean women in Boppard also headed the orphanage foundation founded by Johann Baptist Berger and a specialist school for household and social affairs. The Borromäerinnen moved into the Sabelsberg house in 1957 with their St. Carolus technical college. After the move, an eastern extension with a chapel was added and a little later a western extension was added. These renovations lasted until 1959. In 1966, the organ builder Willi Peter installed an organ with a manual and a pedal in the chapel. At the end of the 1970s, the Borromeo women had an old stone cross that came from a cemetery in Bingen am Rhein , where numerous Borromeo women had found their final resting place, set up in the park.

In the 1990s, due to a lack of young people, the number of Borromean women in Boppard had decreased so much that the nuns were withdrawn from Haus Sabelsberg to the hospital to concentrate on their core tasks of caring for the elderly and the sick. House Sabelsberg, which has meanwhile passed into the possession of the Boppard parish of Sankt Severus, was moved into in 2002 by seven Sacred Heart sisters, whose order goes back to Matthew Kadalikattil . In Boppard, they too take on care work in the hospital and the connected nursing home. After the Borromean Sisters had moved from the St. Michael parish center to the hospital, the convent of the Sacred Heart Sisters left the Sabelsberg house and moved to the parish center in 2010. In addition, the villa's premises were used by the Janusz Korczak School in Boppard in the 2000s. This was closed in 2012, the premises in Haus Sabelsberg were no longer needed a few years earlier.

In 2012 the Fazenda da Esperança was appointed to Boppard. They were offered to move into the Sabelsberg house. From August 2012, members of the Fazenda da Esperança lived in the former villa for a few weeks to get an overview of the house, which was in dire need of renovation. On September 8, 2013, the 91st Fazenda da Esperança worldwide was opened by the Trier Bishop Stephan Ackermann in Haus Sabelsberg.

Until February 2014, the villa's gatehouse was still rented to a family who also lived there. As of October 2014, the gatehouse was renovated in accordance with the preservation of historic monuments, mainly through the contributions of the members of the fazenda. The plans for this renovation were drawn up by the Boppard architect Podehl. On March 19, 2016, the listed gatehouse was inaugurated. This now serves as living space for the Fazenda community, who want to renovate the Villa Sabelsberg in a next step.

description

In addition to a large park, Haus Sabelsberg also has a gatehouse. From there, a road leads through the park up the mountain to the rear entrance of the villa.

Outside

The castle-like, two-storey villa surrounded by a park is visible from afar on a slope above Sabelstraße. The city-side facade is divided into three parts, which can be explained by the additions in the 1950s. The middle facade consists of two axes of different widths with pilaster- linked stair gables. On the upper floor, in the left triple-coupled axis of the main facade, there is a wooden bay window with a hilted roof, which is supported by cantilevered consoles . In the two-story gable there are four narrow windows on the lower floor and one rectangular window on the upper floor. To the right of the gable is a polygonal tower with line structure, heraldic shields on the parapets and with a concluding arched and coffered friezes . The tower is slated at the eaves level of the main roof. It has a curved hood as a roof. To the left of the gable is a cantilevered corner tower with a pointed helmet . On the mountain side, the villa has a gable roof with half a hip .

To the east of the central part of the building is the axis of the five-story house tower. In this axis there is a stepped sandstone portal with a broken lintel and an iron-studded door. A flight of stairs leads to this portal. There is a winter garden on the second floor next to the bay window . The portal risalit ends below the winter garden . The top floor has a wooden bay on consoles. The tower ends with a steep sword roof . Instead of the eastern extension from 1957, there was a wide terrace at the level of the upper floor. To the north in front of the villa there is a terrace with a stone railing across the width of the original villa from 1910. The patio gate and the ground floor windows on the south side of the house have cast iron thorn bars.

Inside

The main entrance is followed by an entrance hall with a groin vault . The staircase has a counter-rotating wooden staircase with a wooden railing in the style of the construction period. The frames of the room doors have a curved lintel and the door leaves are glazed. The former living rooms in the northern part of the house facing the city have stucco framed ceilings .

Gatehouse

The gatehouse located between Buchholzer Straße and the park has three floors. In contrast to the low base or upper floor, the main floor has a high ceiling height. Towards the street, the villa has a broken polygonal facade with two coupled rectangular windows at the front. The upper floor adjoining it has a timber framing jamb . To the north is the gate wing with a basket arched passage. The inscription "HAUS SABELSBERG" is above the gate. On the north side, adjoining the gate wing, there is a semicircular apse . A gable roof made of slate , hewn over the living area, completes the upper floor.

Monument protection

The entire complex, consisting of the villa, the garden and the gatehouse, is protected as a registered cultural monument within the meaning of the Monument Protection and Maintenance Act (DSchG) of the state of Rhineland-Palatinate. In addition, it has been part of the Upper Middle Rhine Valley UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2002 .
