Coming boys tucks
The Coming Boys' Tucks of the Teutonic Order was created in 1573 in the southern Cologne suburb of Oversburg on Severinstrasse there . The coming one lasted until 1802.
history
Members of an originally charitable association of the Teutonic Order that belonged to the religious order of knights were already engaged in Cologne at the beginning of the 13th century.
In the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, a new personal weighting in the composition of the members took place in the previous order structure. The dominance of the clergy (priests) had declined, while the proportion of the nobility (knights) had risen sharply. This prompted the land commander of the Alten-Biesen Ballei , Heinrich von Reuschenberg , to take measures that he considered suitable to remedy the lack of qualified clergy in the order. Among other things, he donated a school building on the north side of the Minorite monastery , the so-called “Reuschenberger Foundation Building” (rebuilt in 1766/67) to the Cologne Laurentians , who ran one of the Cologne city high schools as a preliminary stage for access to the University of Cologne . Reuschenberg awarded twelve scholarships to this institution, three of them for aristocrats, three for wealthy bourgeoisie and six for young men from the class of the poor. He combined these scholarships with the accommodation of the students in the Coming Boys-Biesen in Cologne, which he founded in 1573, which was also supposed to secure accommodation and livelihoods for the students of the Aldenbiesen ballroom.
Place of origin
Heinrich von Reuschenberg bought the "Haus zum Bierbaum" (1320 dom. Birbome, and was Ailbrechts vom Birhouven (Huys) on the place zur Bonnergasse ) on Severinstrasse in 1573 , and in 1581 the Bonner Hof and other grounds . In the summer of 1582, renovation work began on the farm.
The new branch
With the approval of the Cologne Council, the future commander was allowed to build over the Bonner Gasse leading into the site, which was also called “Im Sack”, and was thus able to include a total of 420.75 square rods of the available building site in its planning. The first work concerned the Bierbaum house (from whom Weinsberg reported that "worldly" work was being carried out on this), which was converted into the commander's house. In 1593, permission was given to hold services for a small oratory . In 1601 the re-establishment was confirmed by Maximilian , the Grand Master of the order at the time .

In total, in addition to various farm buildings, three connected, two-storey residential buildings were built, which enclosed a courtyard 18 m long and 13 m wide. The buildings had gable roofs with dormer windows that were covered with slate . The main building on Severinstrasse was 31.50 m long and 6.60 m deep. An attached, tower-like spiral staircase led to the upper floors. The building at the back, facing the garden, had a cellar and was 27 m long. Its first floor contained a large hall. The almost square central building was 13.25 m long and 14.50 m wide, with a large room and two staircases on each floor. A garden of 100 × 40 meters, which was designed in the style of Dutch garden art, was connected to the west. At its end, at the Spitzengasse there, was the entrance to the coming one. Heinrich Theobald Graf von Golstein, coadjutor of the Austrian Ballei in Labach and Komtur in Junge-Biesen, probably planned this access, since after his death (1719) the access to Spitzengasse was supplemented in 1730 by a gate made of stone on Severinstraße. Further innovations, such as the newly broken windows, the plastering of the walls and new floors, as well as the installation of heating systems, followed. The construction of a stone summer house in the garden rounded off the modernization in the 18th century.
Secularization and repeal
The Kommende Jungs-Biesen was abolished in 1802, and in 1804, by decree of Napoleon , its buildings were designated as the official residence of the director of an engineering corps . After the French withdrew , the buildings were partially used as a military depot under the then Prussian government. The property was later transferred to the school administration, which in the further course of the 19th century assigned it to the director of the grammar school that was built on the former Carmelite site as an official residence. In 1883 the front building and in 1885 the other buildings of the former commander were put down. A large building was built on the property, which was given the address Severinstrasse 251.
