history

Düsseldorf, Hofgartenstrasse 12b, Bankhaus Trinkaus

The palace was built for Court Marshal Carl von Pritzelwitz . In 1852 Christian Gottfried Trinkaus acquired the building and used the palace as an apartment and as a commercial building for his bank, the C. G. Trinkaus banking house.

His son later moved the bank, which is now called HSBC Trinkaus , to the next building at 12b. The palace remained the banker's apartment. In the address book of the mayor's office in Düsseldorf from 1867, the entrance to the Comptoir was recorded at Hofgartenstrasse no.13 and the residential building no.14.

Trinkaus-Palais at Hofgartenstrasse 14

In the course of the expansion of the city in the 19th century, the palace named after Max Trinkaus († 1929) at Hofgartenstrasse 14 was built in 1879 as part of the design of Corneliusplatz . The Trinkaus-Palais was damaged in 1944 as a result of heavy air raids on Düsseldorf then demolished. In the 1950s, instead of a reconstruction based on the historical model, a complete redesign was also carried out in the area of ​​Hofgartenstrasse, on whose open space Jan-Wellem-Platz was built. Today the buildings of the Kö-Bogen are located here .
