Kisseleffstrasse 12 (Bad Homburg)
The house at Kisseleffstraße 12 in Bad Homburg vor der Höhe is a protected architectural monument.
history
The two houses at Kisseleffstrasse 12 and 14 together form a semi-detached house with hinged symmetrical facades, which was built by construction assistant Christian Holler . Holler was still the owner of the property in 1853, and soon afterwards he sold the property. House no. 12 was owned for a long time by Johann Jung, who sold it to court photographer Thomas Heinrich Voigt and his wife Louise on April 14, 1890 at a price of 53,000 marks . The Voigt family still lived there after the photographer's death. During the Third Reich , the houses at Kisseleffstrasse 12 and 14 as well as the Villa Renaissance Am Hohlebrunnen 2 used as so-called “Jewish houses” and housed the last Jewish families in Bad Homburg before they were deported.
description
The three-storey residential building, a plastered building on the eaves with a gate entrance, was built in the classicism style. On the ground floor there are segmental arches , on the first floor a long balcony extends over the three central axes of the five-axis facade. It rests on ornate consoles. The cornices and parapets are decorated with neo-Gothic decorations. A Norman serrated frieze separates the bel étage from the mezzanine . The building is optically separated from the neighboring house No. 14 by a pilaster strip .
In 1907 there were two heatable rooms, a bathroom and a kitchen on the ground floor, five heatable rooms each on the first and second floors, and five non-heatable chambers in the attic. The gable roof of the massive house was covered with slate .
Christian Ottersbach rated the houses at Kisseleffstrasse 12 and 14 as good "examples of the simple but dignified row development in the northern section of the middle Kisseleffstrasse".
