Hohenzollernring 58

House Willmeroth (left)

The house at Hohenzollernring 58 in Cologne was built according to plans by De Voss & Müller for the tax inspector Wilhelm Willmeroth on the Hohenzollernring, part of the Cologne rings . It was the first house in Neustadt , and the foundation stone was laid on April 22, 1882. It is considered an "example of the type of stately tenement house in the style of the Italian Renaissance with elongated, arched windows on the top floor". Usually the last floor was just a mezzanine floor without windows, but as a tenement house, smaller windows were added here. The facade was dominated by a central axis located in the projections . This was designed like a bay window and had two floors and took up two window axes. Triple windows, gables, columns, pilasters, stele-like caryatids and a reduced, convex curved hipped roof adorned the central projectile. The planner of the Cologne Rings, Josef Stübben , had the narrow side house No. 56 built for himself.

Both houses have not been preserved, but No. 54 is. The vacant lot No. 58 is used by a drugstore with only two storeys. The first floor of No. 56 is used by a health food store.
