history

The building was constructed from 1897 to 1899. The design came from the architect Kleesattel in 1891. It was built as the home of the then magistrate Hugo Lenzberg (1860–1932), who was the client. Lenzberg later became President of the Senate at the Higher Regional Court and particularly promoted the cultural life of Düsseldorf. Concerts and meetings with contemporary artists such as the composers Max Reger and Hans Pfitzner took place in his house . Lenzberg was also a member of the Kaiser Wilhelm Society , the predecessor of today's Max Planck Society. Hugo Lenzberg died in 1932. Widow Anna Lenzberg (1865–1942) and his children were persecuted because of their Jewish origins. Anna Lenzberg died on July 20, 1942, one day before she was to be deported from the Derendorf freight yard to Theresienstadt. Her two children were able to escape in time. The building was restored from March 2006 to February 2007 and has since been home to the registry office again.

description

facade

Jörg Heimeshoff describes the facade in particular. The facade is therefore five axes wide and was designed in the neo-Gothic style. The entrance is on the first axis from the left. The round arched opening is gabled by a keel arch. The keel arch shows crabs and is flanked by pinnacles that rest on consoles and show animal sculptures. The top of the arch bears a finial, where a tape with the date of construction can also be found. The facade is decorated with tracery. A gothic stepped gable is located above the bay window. A tracery parapet crowns the facade.

In the garden, formerly belonging to the Thomashoffsche Milchkuranstalt Inselstraße 15, there was already before the building of the house the The Seasons by Cornelius Andreas Donett , which are now in the city ​​museum .

Interior design

The Düsseldorf AIV also describes the interior design:

“The house Inselstrasse 16/17 (fig. 629), built by the architect Professor Kleesatel, contains the utility rooms on the basement floor, five living rooms, a hall and ancillary room on the mezzanine floor (Fig. 630), and eight rooms on the first floor (Fig. 631). "
