Hansen merchant house
The Hansen merchant's house on Flensburg's Nordermarkt was built in the years 1868/69 according to plans by the architect Johannes Otzen in the Hanoverian neo-Gothic style . The Börsenkeller restaurant is located in the basement of today's residential and commercial building . Above that there is a photo studio and several apartments. Once a year at the merchant's house at the beginning of the Flensburg Christmas market, the Flensburg children wake up Santa Claus. The building belongs to the cultural monuments of Flensburg city . Behind the building is the so-called Neptunhof .
Construction period
The three-storey brick building represents a turning point in Flensburg's building history. After the German-Danish War (1864) the conception of architecture changed significantly. In the 1860s, the wholesale merchant and wind mill owner was Christian Hansen Cicolai by Johannes Otzen in the Great Street with the number 77, where previously two smaller gabled houses stood, build its new Kontor- and residential building. The building in question illustrates the trend towards brick buildings with Gothic elements . It emerged following numerous buildings, the fjord city shape still strong, such as the Hans-Christiansen-Haus (1894-1896) and the Forest School (1903-1908) by the architect Otto Fielitz . A highlight is the Mürwik Naval School , the Red Castle in Mürwik , which was built in the brick Gothic style between 1907 and 1910 after the Marienburg Order Castle . The architect Paul Ziegler finally erected numerous brick buildings in the style of Heimatschutz architecture in Flensburg , for example the Eichamt Flensburg (1912/13), which with its Prussian eagle is clearly recognizable as a testimony to the beginning of the Prussian era. - Client Hansen was the last chairman of the Danish royal trade association. A year after building his new merchant's house, he became the first chairman of the German Chamber of Commerce.
Restoration since 2013
The building has been extensively restored since 2013. Representative paintings were uncovered and thus rediscovered at various points in the building. On the first floor, the dining room with its elaborate floor and wall paneling was restored in 2013/2014.
