description
Haus Vienna is a building on the gable side of the market, of the type of an East Frisian stone house in the style of the Renaissance. It is located in an "exposed urban area on the north side of the market, at the corner of Norddeicher Straße, in the immediate vicinity of the Ludgeri Church ". The building is 22 meters long and 8.20 meters wide. The outer walls are between 50 and 70 centimeters thick and consist of bricks in monastery format in full masonry.
The entrance area was originally on the courtyard, i.e. the east side. Today there is another entrance on the north side. The older entrance area has a chimney system and is laid out with Bremen flora.
The building has a single storey in the southern area. The gable wall facing the market has typical "bacon layers" based on Dutch models: the facade is made up of alternating layers of brick and light-colored layers of limestone . The tall windows on the gable wall on the market side, like the window on the long west side closest to the market side, are lead - glazed cross -deck windows . On this side there are eight single - axis lead - glazed windows in the front area . All windows have wooden flaps in the lower area with which they can be partially closed. Inside, the northern part has a hall 6.5 meters wide and 13 meters long, making a total of 84.5 square meters and 5.10 meters high, which was returned to its original state during the most recent restoration. On the gable wall of the hall there is a newly built sandstone chimney, which was set up in place of an originally existing one. There are so-called Plaveuzen on the floor . The ceiling construction has been preserved in its original state. Perhaps as a reaction to the northern city fire of 1531, squared timbers are placed over the oak beams, which are covered by a layer of brick and thus protect the hall in the event that the roof structure caught fire. The roof is covered with clay pans covered with shell limestone .
The rear part facing away from the market square on the north side of the building has a length of 7 meters and has two floors, with each floor consisting of one room. The windows in the gable are cross-frame windows , those in the side walls are single-axis windows. They also have wooden flaps in the lower area with which they can be partially closed. Both interiors originally had a fireplace, which was restored during the renovation. The room on the ground floor probably once served as a kitchen, while the upper room was originally the private living area of the Inn- and Knyphausen family . The chimney system, slug walls, oak floorboards and an old oak beam ceiling have been preserved there. A special feature of the house is that there was a toilet on both floors . Such a luxury has not yet been proven in a Frisian stone house from this time. In most comparable buildings, the toilet was located in an outbuilding.
The cellar has had a brick vault since the 17th century. Originally it was covered with a simple beam construction.
history
The property on which the house stands belonged in the 16th century to a man named Albrecht Schwinge, who was often convicted and therefore repeatedly sentenced to prison terms. He often got into conflict with the Innhausen and Knyphausen families in particular . When and how the property passed to the family of the Frisian chief dynasty is unknown. Schwinge died as a bachelor in 1617. Even before that, around 1600, Imperial Baron Wilhelm zu Innhausen and Knyphausen, owner of the glory of Lützburg ( Lütetsburg ) since 1581 and son-in-law of Unico Manninga , built what was then known as the Manninga House . There are trial files from 1610 that prove that Wilhelm “was the owner of the house before and after 1610”. After his death, the four sons of Wilhelm inherited the building, the owner of which changed several times in the 18th and 19th centuries. From 1926 it belonged to the Vienna family, from which it got its name. After the death of the last resident of this family, the district of Aurich bought the building in 1994. Between 1995 and 2000, the district had the building restored by its building department under the professional supervision of the Aurich district monument protector Jan Smidt. On January 19, 2008, the North Community Foundation bought the building from the district for 70,000 euros. With the purchase agreement, the foundation undertook to make the building accessible to the public in the future. The organization implements this obligation, among other things, with the series Kultur im Bürgerhaus, which takes place around monthly in the large hall on the ground floor .
