It was built in 1911/1912 according to designs by the architects Hermann Distel and August Grubitz and has been a listed building since 1989 . From 1982 to 2011 it was run by a residential community , the residential model Kritenbarg e. V. , inhabited. The building has been empty since 2011 and is falling into disrepair.

The clinker house is equipped with wooden lattice windows and a thatched half- hipped roof with bat dormers and large dormers on the long roof sides. There are glazed Uhlenlöcher in the gable tops . Wooden balconies are attached above the main entrance to the northeast and at the rear to the southwest. A terrace in front is oriented to the south-east with a view of an originally symmetrical park.

The brickwork with a layer of air is 36.5 cm thick and is clinkered on the outside with reddish facing brick.

The internal area of ​​the house is 575 m² plus full cellar. On 265 m² on the ground floor, four living rooms and a bathroom are grouped around a hall with a large staircase and a gallery. Only small parts of the original floor coverings in herringbone oak parquet have been preserved. During filming in 1972/1973 for the ARD series The Fall from Next Door , the hall was flooded and the parquet floor was then replaced. In the north-western part of the ground floor there is the kitchen, a side staircase to the gallery and three further rooms at a side exit. Two of these rooms are located in an annex that was added later and was shortened again after a fire in the 1960s on the site of the former veranda to the northwest. On 183 m² around the gallery on the upper floor, 7½ further living rooms and a toilet are grouped. Until the attic was expanded in 1976, there was a light shaft in the ceiling above the hall.

The attic, which is now only shown as usable space for fire protection reasons, has a size of 127 m² with five rooms and a toilet as well as storage and attic rooms. The roof structure was renewed in the 1960s.

Apart from a partially renewed concrete ceiling in the basement, the ceilings consist of wooden beams with thatched plaster. In some cases, asbestos-containing fire protection layers were applied to ceilings and floors.

In his idea of ​​the country house for HT Mahr, Paul Bröcker compares it with the Lower Saxon farmhouse in this area.

In 1913 the country estate was presented in the architecture magazine Deutsche Bauhütte and referred to as an “excellent example of the transfer of old local architecture to new tasks”.

In 1986, a flat-share resident applied for the house to be listed as a historical monument. The monument protection office recognized the need for protection and emphasized "the elements of the architecture of the Heimat style and significant parts of the interior decoration". On October 18, 1989, the house was added to the list of monuments of the city of Hamburg under number 911 .

In May 1998 the monument protection office approved the reinstallation of two lattice windows on the southwest side of the house and the installation of a patio door in the style of the window in the extension.

history

The house was built in 1911/1912 as the summer residence "Hohenbergstedt" for the building contractor HT Mahr according to plans by the architects Distel and Grubitz. The construction costs amounted to 80,000 marks plus costs for sheds and stables. The house had a two- hectare park that was symmetrically aligned with the main building. Today it is only partially preserved.

After the First World War , the property was sold to the merchant SG Schmidt , who in 1920 sold it to the merchant H. Hügemann . In 1922 he had a dining room built on the west side. In 1932 the house and property went to the Hamburger Sparkasse in a foreclosure auction . During the Nazi era , the house was initially used as an old people's home and later as the BDM's “ women's house ” . After the Second World War , the association of municipal children's and youth homes used the site. The associated farm buildings and about half of the property were sold. The country house with around 10,000 m² of land went to the city of Hamburg. As part of the Johannes Petersen Home, the Hamburg Youth Office continued to operate it as a children's home and was finally given up in 1982.

From 1982 the house at Am Beerbusch 31 was lived in by a shared apartment. It emerged from Hamburg's largest residential community, which was part of an association founded in the 1970s - the “Wohnmodell Kritenbarg e. V. “- was organized. Up to then, 24 adults and 22 children had lived in old villas on the site of today's Alstertal Shopping Center (AEZ) on Kritenbarg in Poppenbüttel and had to vacate their houses to expand the shopping center. A large part of the group moved to the former Hohenbergstedt children's home in the nearby Bergstedt district, which was made available to the residential association as replacement living space under the administration of SAGA . The original Kritenbarg group moved out again in the winter of 1984/1985 and left the association and the lease to a new, at times 24-person flat-sharing community with connections to the Niederkaufungen municipality (which was in preparation at the time) .

From 1992, when the first ten-year “maintenance lease” with the city expired, the housing association tried to buy the house. After an expert opinion, according to which the property was worth 800,000 DM , the tax authorities under Ortwin Runde approved the sale of the house and the adjacent land with 3,244 square meters on a long lease basis for 75 years at a price of 877,000 DM. The contracts were ready to be signed, but the CDU parliamentary group of the Walddörfer local committee at the time demanded that negotiations be terminated immediately. The property is worth a few hundred thousand marks more. The city stopped the sale, the lease was extended under new conditions (without the tenants' obligation to maintain).

At the end of 2003, the Hamburg Senate approved the development of the parcels around Hohenbergstedt between the street Am Beerbusch and the Alster with eleven double and ten single-family houses. More than 100 trees, around half of the stock, were felled for the major construction site. The former access route from the Am Beerbusch street was decoupled from the house and a new driveway was laid from the Hohenbergstedt street . In the course of the construction work, the address of the house changed from Am Beerbusch 31 to Hohenbergstedt 21 .

The city sold the house and property with parcel No. 1281 to the HSH Nordbank Group , which in turn was looking for new buyers in 2005. Larger parts of the former park around the house have been rebuilt. Of the approximately two-acre plot of land with an orchard and vegetable growing area, access and park area, which was one hectare after the end of the war, the outside area next to the house and the south-eastern meadow with rhododendrons remained . The house and the surrounding area of ​​3,244 m² were offered for sale for 390,000 euros . In the Bergstedt construction phase plan, this property was still entered as an “area for special purposes, children's home”. Another attempt by the flat share to buy the house failed again. The property was eventually bought by Berthold Brinkmann, a partner in a partnership made up of lawyers, tax advisors and auditors, which sells companies and real estate from bankruptcy proceedings , among other things . After the statutory tenant protection period had expired, he terminated the rental agreement with the Kritenbarg e. V. and thus the shared apartment in late summer 2010. The house has been empty since June 2011 and is increasingly falling into disrepair.

In October 2015 the association "Wohnmodell Kritenbarg" announced its dissolution.

Condition of the building

In 2011, the new owner submitted a preliminary application for a change of use. He wanted to add 20 residential units for assisted living to the country house. The Wandsbek district office rejected this application in October 2011 because the plans included too many changes to the building. The property management appealed against the rejection of the construction project.

According to the Hamburg Senate's answer to a small inquiry , there was no acute risk of deterioration for the house in April 2013. The owner ensures regular heating and ventilation. Necessary roof repairs have been announced for the near future. In a feasibility study, different variants should be worked out for further use in accordance with the monument.

The roof repairs were carried out in spring 2013. In addition, windows and doors were secured against unauthorized entry as required by the authorities. During an on-site visit on January 9, 2014, stains on the ground and attic floors due to water ingress on walls and floors as well as mold, but no acute substance-endangering defects were found. At this point in time, however, the structural defects did not permit any interim letting or any other measure under the Hamburg Housing Protection Act. During this inspection, the monument protection authority was informed of previous but resolved problems with the heating.

The owner brought an action against the first rejection of the construction project on October 17, 2011 at the Hamburg Administrative Court . The administrative court has not yet ruled on this lawsuit because there was an option that a second preliminary ruling procedure since October 2013 could be positive and the lawsuit would be settled. In this second application for a preliminary ruling to the responsible district office , the owner requested the conversion of the listed building into four residential units and the construction of six row houses on the property. The district office also rejected this application in February 2014. The owner raised an objection, which has not yet been decided because the administrative court requested all construction files including all objections on October 2, 2014.

On May 23, 2014, the responsible district office asked the owner to give up another viewing appointment. For this purpose, the owner was again written to on January 9, 2015 by the responsible district office. At this point in time, various structural measures would have been necessary for residential use, such as plumbing, heating and electrical installations, floor repairs and painting.

In autumn 2017, citizens collected over 1,200 signatures from residents of the district for presentation to the city's Senator for Culture and demanded measures to prevent the building from deteriorating further. At this point, the heating had failed, the roof and walls were damaged, water penetrated the house, and mold and sponge had spread. The Hamburg Monument Association expressed the fear "that the decay was deliberately brought about so that renovation is soon no longer economically reasonable and nothing stands in the way of speculation with the property". In December 2017, by order of the monument protection office, the thatched roof was removed and the roof structure was protected with a tarpaulin. Then a drying and mold control on the components was planned to stop the decay of the house.
