history
Landhaus Horn
The buildings were initiated by various foundations. On the site of Margarethe von Post Foundation was Margarethe von Post House and the siblings Kronning house planned. This then became the Landhaus Horn , initially with 96 rooms.
The foundation residence Landhaus Horn , today with 88 apartments and flats, consists of various three- and four-storey old and new buildings that are only connected by buildings on the ground floor. The building group on an objectively designed H-shaped floor plan consists of three structures. The buildings were initiated by various foundations. The old brick Art Deco style buildings were designed by Heinz Stoffregen from 1928/29; after the death of Stoffregen in 1929/30, the further implementation planning lay with the architects Carl Eeg and Eduard Runge .
From fabric rain come u. a. the Delmenhorst town hall , the residential building at Gildemeisterstraße 8 in Bremerhaven and the four-storey residential complex of the civil servants' housing association in Bremen- Ostliche Vorstadt , Peterswerder district on Hamburger- / Altenburger- / Stader-Straße.
In 1946 the area was confiscated by the US military authorities and they set up the Hotel Bremen for their soldiers. In 1952, after it was returned, the grounds were acquired by the Welfare Office of the City of Bremen from the foundation, which passed it on to the Bremer Heimstiftung for the establishment of a retirement home that was operated from 1953. Many old people from the various small branch offices were able to move. It was later called the Landhaus Horn retirement home .
New building
Behind the Landhaus Horn , small apartments for elderly people were built in 1959 according to plans by Rudi Richter and Willi Kläner from Bremen. A three-storey building with 27 residential units and a shorter, two-storey building are connected by glass corridors and a single-storey intermediate wing with the common rooms and the green atrium. Brick and plastered surfaces alternate in the facade. On the north side there are three protruding and thus invigorating stairwells. The south facade is determined by the loggias. The clients were the Kroning and Röcker foundations.
A bust of the entrepreneur Ernst Heinrich Kahrweg , designed by Diedrich Kropp in 1884 , has stood in the garden of the Landhaus Horn foundation residence since 1962.
