Kirchplatz 8 (Mönchengladbach)
.jpg)
The residential building at Kirchplatz 8 is in Mönchengladbach ( North Rhine-Westphalia ) in the Gladbach district .
The building was built in the first half of the 19th century. It was entered into the monuments list of the city of Mönchengladbach on June 21, 2006 under No. K 089 .
location
The property at Kirchplatz 8 is located on the highest point of the Abteiberg on the south side of the listed late Gothic main parish church. The property is an indispensable part of a closed row of buildings, which also includes the neighboring properties at Kirchplatz 6, 7 and 9–13. The row of buildings closes the church square to the south against the slope of the terrain to Abteistraße instead of an embankment wall , which was documented in the original map from 1812/13 , which delimited the former churchyard of the main parish church.
architecture
The listed buildings are two-storey residential houses built in exposed brick under a tile roof. The building at Kirchplatz 7 has three axes. Above the smoothly bricked base ( Liedberg sandstone ) with transverse rectangular cellar windows follow the ground floor and upper floor, which are separated by two horizontal strips of brick in the form of a frieze .
The upright rectangular windows have a straight lintel and renewed window frames with attached wooden bars. The sills are carved from Liedberg sandstone. The central axially arranged house entrance has a natural stone frame, also made of Liedberg sandstone . The two-winged front door has been preserved in its original state and is set back to be reached via three block steps made of basalt lava .
The garden side basically follows the front in terms of design. However, the horizontal brick bands are missing. The garden facade has the old wooden windows with glass dividing bars. The ground floor garden property can be accessed via the basement, which has a brick cap ceiling. At the Abteistraße / Propst-Kauff-Stiege, the property is intercepted and fenced in by an embankment wall. The retaining wall , made of bricks, consists of six fields facing Abteistraße and is plastered. It is structured by pilasters with rough plastering around which the simply offset base is cranked. The pilasters end with a capital in a kind of cushion, which is arranged as a 3/4 round rod along the upper wall. A modern, but also cranked, end base made of concrete is placed on top. The wall panels have wide grooved frames and smoothly plastered mirrors. In the third wall field, calculated from the west, there is a balcony-like extension supported by four consoles .
In the unadorned modern grid that is attached to the wall and secures the garden area, a sandstone slab with sun rays and the initials “MP” (?) Has been preserved. The wall facing the Propst-Kauff-Stiege is brick-faced with a gable-shaped sloping roof. At the building at Kirchplatz 6, the wall protrudes slightly across from the neighboring house, which emphasizes the corner here like a risalit . Its year of construction is likely to be around 1890/1900.
