history

precursor

In 1838 the merchant Conrad Meinken built a typical Kohlhöker house as his summer residence on the property at Kohlhökerstraße 52-54. A large garden surrounded the building, which was demolished around 1876.

Made in 1876

The building contractor Johann Hinrich Gottfried Dietrich built three three-storey residential buildings in 1876. The State Office for Monument Preservation classifies the building as follows:

“In Kohlhökerstraße, between 1850 and 1855, on the section between Meinkenstraße and Wulwesstraße, some very representative, mostly two-storey residential buildings for the upper classes were built. […] The assembly at Kohlhökerstraße 52-54 was only added in 1876 on a previously undeveloped plot of land. The dimensions of these four-axle Bremen houses with three full storeys are enormous and are examples of the prosperity of the upper middle class in the early days. [...] "

The three-storey, plastered corner house from 1876 with basement floor and pitched roof , has windows ornamented segmental arches on the upper floors and a mezzanine floor gequadertes. The windows on the first floor in the risalit are flanked by pilasters . The entrance is in the middle of Meinkenstrasse. The front door, windows and bars have been preserved in their old form.

Modernizations

Around 1899 the businessman Alfred Lohmann bought the property from the businessman Engelbert Stucken. Modernization took place until 1900 under the supervision of Wilhelm Blanke : sanitary facilities, central heating instead of ovens, water and sewer connections.

In 1910 the ground floor rooms were expanded by adding an extension to the dining room and a winter garden based on plans by Fritz Dunkel .

In 1919 the doctor Oskar Antze bought the building as a home for his family. Antze set up his practice on the mezzanine floor. Around 1925 a "motor vehicle hall" is said to have been built in the basement.

In 1980 the lawyers Ernst Sennhenn and Rudolf Monnerjahn acquired the property. Extensive construction work was carried out in the house (site management Kurt Schmidt). The porch was dismantled. In 1989 Monnerjahn and Sennhenn separated; Sennhenn stayed at the location. The law firm dissolved around 2011.

Ebner Stolz has been the main tenant since 2011 .
