The residential building Inselstrasse 27 in Düsseldorf-Pempelfort was built by the Düsseldorf architects Otto van Els and Bruno Schmitz in 1887 for city councilor August Hüllstrung. In 1900 the courtyard wing was expanded. Building officer Carl Wiegang, the new owner of the house, had the house rebuilt by the architect Hermann vom Endt .

Art historical significance

The history of the architecture and the city, as well as the exterior design, played a decisive role in why the building was placed under monument protection:

"Due to the very high quality design and as one of the last testimonies to the representative residential development on the Hofgarten for architectural and city-historical reasons, the house is a listed building."

- Jörg AE Heimeshoff : Listed houses in Düsseldorf, with garden and ground monuments. Nobel, Essen 2001, p. 120.

history

The house was used as a stately home. The house later housed the Robert Schumann Conservatory. Today it is the seat of the pension scheme of the North Rhine-Westphalia Chamber of Architects .
