Kronwiekstrasse 17

The building at Kronwiekstraße 17 is a monument in the town of Wolgast in the Vorpommern-Greifswald district in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania . The building, erected at the end of the 1820s as a poor house and work house , served as a home for apprentices during the GDR era. After reunification , it was used as a municipal administration building and by social institutions and associations.

history

The Wolgast cigar manufacturer and businessman Hermann Rassow and the councilor Friedrich Bartels bought a house with a garden in Kronwiek, a suburb of Wolgast at that time , for 620 thalers. They handed this property over to the city for the construction of a so-called "poor welfare institution". Of the 13,000 thalers in construction costs, 5,000 thalers were raised from donations, and the city borrowed the rest. The timber could be fetched freely from the Peenemünde forest , which belonged to the city of Wolgast.

During the GDR era, the Peenewerft used the building as a home for apprentices. After the fall of the Wall , the Wolgast town hall served as its administrative center. A renovation was carried out. From 1997 the building was made available to associations and social institutions, and documents from the city archives from the 1990s were also stored there.

On April 10, 2012, the house was badly damaged in an arson fire. The State Office for Culture and the Preservation of Monuments assessed the building as fit for renovation.

The two-storey plastered building has 15 axes and is covered with a half- hip roof. In the middle of the facade is a five-axis risalit above which there is a triangular gable with a central ocular . The facade is ashlar. The structure is made on the upper floor by a sill cornice as well as by cornices at transom height of the ground floor windows in the risalit. The windows on the ground floor and the entrance have round arches. A staircase has been cut into a small terrace in front of the entrance. The two-winged entrance door is coffered in a diamond shape and has a glazed skylight in the shape of a stylized star.
