Behind the Lämmchen is a street in the old town of Frankfurt am Main that has been documented since the 14th century . In the barely 100 meter long lane between the chicken market in the east and the market were several historically and architecturally significant town houses and courtyards. During the air raid on March 22, 1944 , all houses were destroyed and the rubble cleared by 1952. From 1974 to 2010 the whole street with the technical town hall was built over.
As part of the Dom-Römer project , the alley was rebuilt from 2014 to 2018 with a slightly different course on the western edge. On the north side and at the south-east end to the Hühnermarkt, five reconstructions of historical buildings in modern construction, designated as creative replicas , were built, on the south side six new buildings according to a design statute issued in 2010.
location
The alley behind the Lammchen lies between the chicken market in the east and the market in the west. The north side is the building complex with the reconstructed houses Esslinger , Alter Esslinger , Goldenes Lämmchen and Klein Nürnberg . In the west, the alley now runs around the building of the Frankfurter Kunstverein . The south side begins at the corner building to the Goldene Schere chicken market with the address Markt 22. To the west are the rear buildings of the Altes Kaufhaus , Goldene Schachtel and Alter Burggraf buildings (Markt 30–34). The western end is formed by the rear facades of the Golden Head , City of Milan and To the Three Romans houses .
history
The street was originally called Glaubergergasse or Glauburgergasse after the patrician family Glauburg , who belonged to the Nürnberger Hof located north of the street and accessible from here via the Nürnberger Hofgäßchen . The name Esslingergasse , after the Zum Esslinger house , is also documented. From around the 18th century, the street was given its current name after the Goldenes Lämmchen exhibition center , which can be traced back to the 14th century.
In 1755 the Goethes family lived for one year in the Haus zum Esslinger (Hinter dem Lämmchen 2) while the Goethe-Haus in the Großer Hirschgraben was rebuilt. The Haus zum Esslinger belonged to Goethe's aunt Johanna Melber , a younger sister of his mother, Catharina Elisabeth . Goethe put her in Out of my life. Poetry and Truth a literary monument .
From 1380 to 1802, the ceremonial whistler court moved every year to the autumn fair from the Nuremberg court through the alley across the market to the Römer . In the 19th century, the picturesque alley with its backyards developed into a tourist attraction.
The Lammchenbrunnen , first mentioned in 1472, was later filled in as a traffic obstacle. The fountain column, built in 1755, was moved to the rear of the Zum alten Burggrafen house (Markt 34). She received a gilded lamb as a fountain figure. In 1944 the Lammchenbrunnen perished along the whole street.
The area was destroyed by the air raids on Frankfurt am Main in the Second World War and the demolition of the last remaining, burned-out buildings in the immediate post-war period. Between 1974 and 2012 the square and the alley with the technical town hall were completely built over. As part of the Dom-Römer project , the chicken market and the street Hinter dem Lämmchen were rebuilt from 2014 to 2018 after the Technical City Hall was demolished. The historical course of the road could largely be restored. Only in the west is the former course of the alley, including the former Zum Mohrenkopf house, built over with the addition of the stone house built in 1962 . The alley therefore now leads around the building used by the Frankfurter Kunstverein with two previously non-existent right-angled bends . The alley has been open to the public since May 2018.
Buildings in the alley
The north side of the alley is characterized by four creative replicas : The Haus zum Esslinger (Hinter dem Lämmchen 2) is a reconstruction by the architects Monument Concept , Bad Nauheim and Dreysse Architects , Frankfurt am Main. The Esslinger house was first mentioned in a document in 1320. The previous building, which was destroyed in 1944, was part of the late Gothic transition period from post- and- beam construction to frame construction around 1550. Around 1750 the building was given a baroque mansard roof with a dwarf house with a triangular gable and oculus window facing the chicken market. The new building is to be used by the Struwwelpeter Museum from May 2019 . The neighboring house "Alter Esslinger" (Hinter dem Lämmchen 4) is the reconstruction of a mighty three- story Renaissance half-timbered house built in the 17th century by Dreysse Architects , Frankfurt am Main. Two cantilevered half-timbered upper floors rise above a stone ground floor, each of which is remarkably high compared to the neighboring buildings. The traufständige gable roof carries a two-storey dormer verschiefertes with wave gable. The "Alte Esslinger" will also be used by the Struwwelpeter Museum from May 2019.
The front building of the Golden Lammchen (Hinter dem Lämmchen 6) was reconstructed by the architect Claus Giel, Dieburg. The half-timbering of the two upper floors is plastered, as has been customary in Frankfurt since the 18th century. The neighboring house "Klein Nürnberg" (Hinter dem Lämmchen 8) stood on the corner of the Nürnberger Hofgäßchen , the southern entrance to the Nürnberger Hof . The three-storey renaissance building from the 16th century was reconstructed by Dreysse Architects , Frankfurt am Main and Jourdan & Müller , Frankfurt am Main. The vaulted hall, with six cross vaults resting on two central pillars, is a reminder of its earlier importance as a trade fair building . The new building is used by the Evangelical Regional Association of Frankfurt am Main as the parish hall of the Paulsgemeinde and the Indonesian community.
The only reconstruction on the south side of the alley is the “Goldene Schere” house (Market 22 , side entrance, formerly Hinter dem Lämmchen 1) by the architects Prof. Hans Kollhoff , Berlin and Jourdan & Müller , Frankfurt am Main. The four-storey building in classicist forms was created in the 18th century by converting two older predecessor buildings. The overhangs of the two upper floors have been preserved on the facade of the alley behind the Lammchen .
The "Old Department Store" (back building at Markt 30 , formerly Hinter dem Lämmchen 3 ) is a new building by Morger + Dettli Architects, Basel . It is characterized by the complete absence of ornamentation and emphasizes the basic structural elements of a typical Frankfurt old town house, as specified by the design statutes: gable , overhangs on each floor, steep pitched roof. The baroque sandstone portal at the back is about five meters wide and 3.50 meters high, the largest spoiler used in the Dom-Römer project. It was previously deposited in the garden of the Liebieghaus . The house "Goldene Schachtel" (rear building Markt 32 , formerly Hinter dem Lämmchen 5 ) is a new building by Tillmann Wagner Architects , Berlin. It is used by the Kulturothek Frankfurt. At the back of the “Alter Burggraf” house ( Markt 34 , formerly Hinter dem Lämmchen 7 ), the lane runs at two right angles around the annex to the stone house. The new building by Francesco Collotti , Milan, is therefore designed as a corner house with an additional gable.
This is followed by the two narrow houses "Goldenes Haupt" (Markt 36 , formerly Hinter dem Lämmchen 9) by the three federal architects Ballerstedt, Helms, Koblank , Bochum and "Stadt Milano" (Markt 38 , formerly Hinter dem Lämmchen 11) by Michael A. Landes . The Golden Head houses a sales point of the Höchst Porcelain Manufactory , City of Milan a hat shop on the ground floor .
The "Mohrenkopf" house (formerly Hinter dem Lämmchen 10 ) has not been reconstructed . The name was mentioned in documents as early as 1322. The house was built around 1450 and destroyed in 1944. The new building of the Frankfurter Kunstverein has stood in its place since 1962 .
