House tenge
The Tenge house is a listed classicist residential and commercial building with stone works in Osnabrück ( Lower Saxony ). The steel entrepreneur Jürgen Großmann ran the gourmet restaurant “la vie” until 2018 , which was recently awarded three Michelin Guide stars . The part of the building in which the “la vie” was housed is currently empty.
history
Across from the Osnabrück town hall , Ernst Friedrich Tenge (1759–1824) built a residential and commercial building in 1813 and 1814 in Krahnstrasse. Tenge belonged to a respected Osnabrück family, descended from the blacksmith Johann Tenge, who moved from Ibbenbüren and was listed as a citizen of Osnabrück's old town in 1572. The members of the family were merchants, members of the Krameramt, linen and wine dealers, tobacco manufacturers, ran a brewery and belonged to the Neustadt council. Ernst Friedrich Tenge attended the Ratsgymnasium , lived for some time in Amsterdam , returned to Osnabrück in 1782 and married Dorothea Beissner (1770–1850), the daughter of a wealthy Osnabrück cloth merchant, in 1786. During the Napoleonic continental blockade , when Tenge accidentally had large stocks of raw tobacco at his disposal, he made a considerable fortune. Tenge already owned the house at Krahnstrasse 1, bought the house next to it at Krahnstrasse 2 and had a residential and commercial building built on the property, with a stone work on the back being preserved.
On the ground floor of the three- story house with a hipped roof were the office as well as utility and sales rooms, on the first floor a representative hall, on the upper floor living and storage rooms. The banquet hall is the only one of a classical house that has been preserved in Osnabrück. The middle part of the facade is decorated with four pilasters , above the entrance there is a laurel festoon , a laurel wreath woven with palm branches under the central window. The sandstone facade was painted with oil paint, which helped to preserve it.
Three generations of the Tenge family lived and ran the house until it was sold in 1879 to Abraham and Levy David, who ran a women's and men's ready-to-wear shop there. They had shop windows installed on the ground floor. During the time of National Socialism , her descendant Otto David was forced to sell the house to the city of Osnabrück. David was sent to a concentration camp but survived. Gertrud David, born in 1898, also belonged to the David family. She suffered from polio and epilepsy, was deported in 1940 and gassed in the same year as a victim of National Socialist euthanasia as part of Operation T4 in the Brandenburg killing center . A stumbling block , which the artist Gunter Demnig laid in front of the Tenge house on March 30, 2008, reminds her of her.
The city wanted to use the Tenge house for administrative offices. However, after the bombing of the city during World War II began , it housed tenants who had lost their homes. The tenge attic was also damaged by bombing. Otto David, whose health was severely impaired as a result of the time in the camp and forced labor, got the house back after the end of the Second World War and sold it to Wilhelm Dopjans in 1960. In 1963 the building was completely renovated. From 1965 to 1975 it was rented to Rinklake van Endert from Münster , who used it as a branch of his furniture store. The Dopjans-Möllmann company then also ran a furniture store . She largely restored the original state, with the large shop windows on the ground floor being dismantled.
"La vie" restaurant
After the steel manager Jürgen Großmann came to Osnabrück in 1988 to renovate Georgsmarienhütte GmbH and bought the company for a symbolic amount in 1993, he looked for a way to implement his interest in top cuisine with his own restaurant. He bought the restaurant “la vie” on Rheiner Landstrasse opposite the Heger cemetery . He later moved the restaurant to the Tenge house, furnished the banquet room with works by the painter Markus Lüpertz and brought the chef Hans-Peter Engels to Osnabrück, who earned the restaurant its first Michelin star and 17 Gault Millau points.
After a renovation in 2006, Großmann changed the kitchen team. Thomas Bühner , who had previously been head chef of the “La Table” restaurant in Casino Hohensyburg for 14 years and who had earned two Michelin stars there, started his work in May 2006. In 2007 the restaurant “la vie” received its second star. In November 2011 the restaurant was awarded the third Michelin star. In the Gault-Millau it had 19 points last.
On July 16, 2018, Georgsmarienhütte Holding GmbH announced that it would cease operations of the restaurant with immediate effect. The roughly 30 employees had received their notice of termination two days earlier. According to the company, the reason for this was an "organizational realignment" of the steel company.
Use after the “la vie” closure
In October 2018 it became known that the house had been bought by Heinrich W. Risken, CEO of heristo AG , after the "la vie" closure . The opening of a new restaurant in spring 2019 was announced, the management of which the former "la vie" chef Timo Fritsche should take over. However, Risken made a different decision in the further course and instead put the restaurant out for lease in May 2019 .
