House to the Prinz-Eugen-Tor

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The house to the Prinz-Eugen-Tor ( Romanian Casa Prințului Eugeniu de Savoya ) is a listed building in the 1st district Cetate of the western Romanian city Timișoara . It is located at the confluence of Strada Eugeniu de Savoya and Strada Mărăşeşti .

history

The one-story house was built in 1771 in today's Strada Eugeniu de Savoya No. 24 , where the Forforoser Tor ( Romanian Poarta Forforoza ) was at that time . Through this, Prince Eugene of Savoy, after defeating the Ottoman Empire at the head of his armed force on October 13, 1716 , marched into what was then the Timisoara fortress.

Twenty years later, the builder Wenczel Lechner applied to the city administration to allow the building to be used as a meeting place for the Jewish community. From 1755 to 1760 there was a Jewish prayer house here . After 1760 two synagogues were built on this site , one each for the two rites of Ashkenazim and Sephardim . Exactly 100 years after the surrender of the Ottoman Empire, the gate was torn down.

The gate tower together with a site surveyed for this purpose was given free of charge to the master carpenter Anton Müller , with the condition that a house could be built here without affecting “the architecture and facia” of the tower so that it would be preserved as an “eternal monument”. According to information from the Vienna Court Chamber Archives, the house was to be called Haus zum Eugenie Tor . Anton Müller undertook to put a bas-relief with the Forforos Gate as a motif above the entrance on the front of the house .

The baroque framing of the wall painting above the house entrance, which depicts the Forforoser Tor, is reminiscent of the gate. The already faded work was whitewashed during a renovation and later provided with glass protection. Today the building is in need of restoration.

Homeowner

Over time, the house changed hands several times. On December 19, 1804, Michael Sacher bought it for 600 crowns . On September 17, 1829, Rudolf Moran bought the building for 19,000 crowns. A few years later Rozalia Naseda came into possession of the house for 11,000 crowns. On August 12, 1841, Anton Naseda, Josefa Preyer, Francisca and Ludwig Benard took over their inheritance. They sold the house to George Kuzmanovic on June 14, 1842 for 11,600 crowns. In 1847 the widow Marta , née Duca, was the owner of the house. In 1849 Pavel Veselinovic bought the house for 9,000 crowns. In 1874 several owners are given.

The house also changed hands several times in the interwar period. On August 6, 1935, Ioan Weber began using the house commercially. His successor was Ana Klein , who also used the house for commercial purposes. Mauriciu Wolf opened a restaurant here on October 24, 1940 . After the Second World War, the building was converted into a tenement house.

Today there is a doctor's practice in the house.
