Sollbrüggen house

The Sollbrüggenpark is located in the Krefeld suburb of Bockum . It houses the Sollbrüggen house , the former country house of a Krefeld silk weaver owner (today: Sollbrüggenpark Music School ), and is known as one of the most beautiful parks in Krefeld.

The park

The almost 6 hectare facility was built in the style of an English landscape park in the 19th century. The planning is attributed to the garden architect Maximilian Friedrich Weyhe ; however, the original shape has in part been greatly changed in the course of history. The park is part of the historic green connection from the Linn district to the city center of Krefeld. As part of the horticultural exhibition Euroga2002plus , the Sollbrüggenpark was also reconstructed according to the plans that had been received, including a pleasure ground. Due to its importance and attractiveness, the complex was included in the Route of Garden Art between the Rhine and the Maas .

In the Sollbrüggenpark there is the only lei oak ( aquatic oak , botanically Quercus lyrata ) of all Krefeld parks. In addition, there has been a six-meter-high sipo wood stele created by the artist Hans Joachim Albrecht since 1971 . It bears the title "Figural double form".

Sollbrüggen house

The Sollbrüggen house is originally a medieval manor surrounded by moats , which was first mentioned in the 12th century. The estate burned down completely in 1781 and was rebuilt. The oldest surviving part of the building is the gatehouse from the 18th century. The north and south wings date from the 19th century. In 1840 the house was rebuilt, probably according to plans by Adolph von Vagedes, in the classicism style as the country residence of the silk manufacturer Peter de Greiff .

The facility has been owned by the city since 1925 and has housed the Krefeld music school since 1955. The listed building has wall and ceiling paintings from the Wilhelminian era and Art Nouveau in some rooms . The illusionistic paintings on the upper floor were probably created by the brothers Jakob and Benjamin Orth from Mainz . In the years 2001–2003, all the paintings in the Sollbrüggen house were painstakingly restored.
