History of the official buildings of the Heilbronn district

Syndikatshaus am Marktplatz (1803–1878)

The history of the official building of the Heilbronn district goes back to the old Oberamt Heilbronn , which was built after the transition of the former imperial city to Württemberg after 1803 and whose administrative seat was the syndicate house, built by Hans Kurz from 1803 to 1878 .

In 1878 the upper office building at Klarastraße 12 was built by Gottlob Georg Barth . As a supplementary building, a corporate building at Klarastraße 15 was built in 1887 by the architects H. Maute and T. Moosbrugger .

Both buildings, Klarastr. 12 u. 15, were sold when a new building at Klarastrasse 23 was completed in 1927 by A. Mössinger, H. Beil and W. Eberbach. In 1947 the existing building, Klarastr. 23, restored and supplemented by Rudolf Gabel . In 1971, the “district high-rise” at Klarastraße 25 was built as an extension under the architect R. Winter. The Heilbronn skyscraper was described by the StN as "the urban dominant of Wollhausplatz" and referred to as the “longest functional Heilbronn man” and “a new striking urban dominant”. The SZ describes it as "pompous 'expanded'".

Both buildings (Klarastr. 23 and 25) were sold when the architects Meister, Braun, Stieglitz and Glaser built another new building at Lerchenstraße 40 in 1978. The corner tower built in 2010 by Hascher and Jehle was described by the RNZ as a “lighthouse” and a “new point of orientation” which is a “unique selling point”.

Syndikatshaus am Marktplatz (1803–1878)

The district of Heilbronn goes back to the old Oberamt Heilbronn , which was established after the transition of the former imperial city to Württemberg after 1803 and whose administrative seat was in the syndicate house on the market square in Heilbronn. The renaissance building erected by Hans Kurz fell to Württemberg in 1803 during the dispute between the city of Heilbronn and the Württemberg state and "represented the royal interest in the central square of the city in an obvious way". The Baden-Württemberg State Monument Office also describes the old syndicate house on Marktplatz as the first Oberamti in Heilbronn, which existed in the house from 1803 to 1878: “Syndikatshaus-Oberamtei, passed away, Marktplatz… From 1803 to 1878 it was used by the Württemberg state as an Oberamti. Bought back by the city in 1878 ... "

Upper Office Building, Klarastraße 12 (1878–1927)

Oberamtsgebäude, Hohestrasse and Klarastrasse

Instead of the former Kgl. The Commerzbank building was built in the Oberamt building.

The building on the corner of Hohe Straße and Klarastraße was built according to the original design of the then Heilbronn district building councilor Gottlob Georg Barth , who also helped build the castle chapel in Schwaigern . The construction time was two years; In 1878 the new building could be occupied. Cordes describes it as simple: “The simple interior corresponded to the modest exterior. The main front on Klarastrasse had five windows on all three floors. The entrance was on the side, the corner between Hohe and Klarastraße was sloping. ”However, others describe the historical building on the area of the former Klarakloster as elaborate in terms of both dimensions and materials. The front length was a "stately building" at 20 meters. Also the building material - all three floors were solidly built in sandstone: “In 1876/77 the Domain Directorate of the Royal State Finance Administration had Bezirksbaurath Barth build a new, separate administrative building for the Oberamt at the corner of Hohestraße and Klarastraße. On June 19, 1876, the Royal Superior Office approved the building application for a massive three-story new building made of sandstone blocks. ... With its front length of twenty meters, the new Oberamt was a stately building on the new street [St.-Clara-Straße] “The lack of space began when in 1926 more than half of the communities of the dissolved Oberamt Weinsberg came to Heilbronn.

Up until the First World War , the Royal High Office was located here; after the First World War the district office. On August 31, 1953, the ruins of the former Oberamt building on the corner of Klara and Hohe Strasse were demolished. On November 13, 1964, the topping-out ceremony for the business building of the municipal supplementary pension fund in Stuttgart was celebrated. It is a reinforced concrete composite structure with a curtain wall. Two structures were connected by a walkway. BDA government master builder G. Kistenmacher had the planning and construction management.

Corporate building, Klarastraße 15 (1887–1927)

Corporate building, Klarastr. 15th

Voice high-rise building on Allee in Heilbronn, built in 1957

The corporate building at Klarastraße 15 was built in 1887 based on designs by Maute u. Theodor Moosbrugger built. It was a three-story house that was sold to Walter Götz in 1928 and destroyed in World War II. Today the Heilbronner Voice extension is located on the property . Heilbronner Voice bought the property and had a high-rise built in 1957 based on designs by Gustav Ernst Kistenmacher .

District association building, Klarastraße 23 (1927–1976)

In 1926 the Heilbronn architects Adolf Mössinger and Hermann Beil were commissioned with the design of the house, and in collaboration with senior building master Lutz, the building was completed under their direction in 14 months. The house was occupied in December 1927 and inaugurated in the presence of the President of Württemberg , Wilhelm Bazille . The ground floor was assigned to the Oberamtssparkasse. The main entrance on Klarastraße was decorated with a half-sculpture by Wernher Eberbach with the symbol of diligence and thrift.

Since 1934, the official name for the previous Oberamt was the State District Office . The official body called itself Kreisverband since 1934. The building has been called the District Association House since then. A renewed lack of space began when the district of Heilbronn was formed in 1938 , which was expanded to include the municipalities of the dissolved Oberämter Neckarsulm , Brackenheim , Marbach and Besigheim . The building was the seat of the district administration. In the Second World War it was still best preserved in Klarastrasse, it was only partially damaged and could therefore be made usable again with relatively few resources. The restoration lasted until the end of 1947.

Extension with "district high-rise", Klarastraße 25 (1971–1978)

Former District high-rise, Klarastraße 25
Forest symbolism by Erich Henschel, triangle symbols for coniferous forest, circle symbol for deciduous forest.
Viticulture symbols by Erich Henschel, triangle symbol for grape leaf, circle symbols for grapes.

Description / art in construction

The district high-rise was planned by the architect Rolf Winter and started on June 23, 1968. The topping-out ceremony could be celebrated on February 28, 1970; the inauguration of the building took place on October 1, 1971. The reinforced concrete structure is 52 meters high from the third floor of the underground car park to the top floor ceiling and 35 meters high from Klarastrasse. For the high-rise building, 350 tons of steel and 170 tons of structural steel mesh were used in the concrete. The municipalities of the district contributed to the jewelry. Erich Henschel depicted various landscapes in the district in symbols:

In most of his abstract pictures he uses symbols for viticulture and forestry. Thus, within a rectangular field, he represents the geometric grape (same circular shapes) - symbol of viticulture - in the middle of a triangular vine leaf. As symbols for the Swabian-Franconian forest mountain , he uses various pointed pyramids (symbols for the coniferous forest) and circular shapes of the deciduous forest .

Weinsberger valley

Weibertreu castle ruins

In the picture of the Weinsberger valley , the geometric grape - symbol of viticulture - in the middle of a vine leaf symbolizes the viticulture of the Weinsberger valley within a rectangular field . Salt mountain . Other symbols were shown for the sights in the landscape: for the Swabian-Franconian forest mountains . Within a rectangular field, the pointed pyramids symbolize the coniferous forest, and circular shapes the deciduous forest. On the left, next to the field, the ridges of the Löwenstein Mountains are shown. The Weibertreu castle ruins with the so-called Stone Album were the motif for the artist to represent the various personalities of the Weinsberger Valley with their signature .

“Names from the Swabian circle of poets like Eduard Mörike , Ludwig Uhland , Wilhelm Waiblinger , Justinus Kerner and Friedrich Theodor Vischer stand for the spiritual world of the Weinsberger Valley. The geometric grape - the symbol of viticulture - shows how the fruit and leaves are structured in a regular way. Triangles symbolize the coniferous forest, circular shapes the deciduous forest in the low mountain range of the Löwenstein Mountains. This plastic relief was donated by the municipalities of Erlenbach, Weinsberg, Gellmersbach, Eberstadt, Hölzern, Ellhofen, Sülzbach, Willsbach, Wimmental, Grantschen, Affaltrach, Eschenau, Löwenstein, Hößlinsülz, Weiler, Eichelberg, Neulautern and Wüstenrot. "

Bottwar and Schozachtal

The rails of the Bottwartalbahn inspired the artist for the round metal strips.

As symbols of the economy ( infrastructure ), the tracks of the Bottwartalbahn ("duck killer") are represented by ribbons. Other symbols are those of agriculture, such as wine (Großlage Schozachtal, Wunnenstein) and wood. As in the picture of the Weinsberger Tal, the geometric grape - symbol of viticulture - in the middle of a vine leaf symbolizes viticulture within a rectangular field. Other symbols were shown for the sights in the landscape: for the Swabian-Franconian forest mountains . As in the picture of the Weinsberger Valley, the pointed pyramids represented within a rectangular field symbolize the coniferous forest, and circular shapes the deciduous forest. Next to the field with the symbols for the trees, there are horizontally round bars - symbols for the wood.

“Wine and wood in the Bottwartal ... Erich Henschel mainly used acrylic glass for his symbols. In the Bottwar and Schozach valleys (picture), forest and wine have defined the face of the landscape since ancient times. Wood continues to hold its own as an economic factor, for example on the Ilsfeld wood market. In recent times, the belts of modern traffic routes fit harmoniously into this picture. "

Leintal

The Heuchelberger Warte served as a model for Henschel's work

In the middle is the symbol for the Heuchelberger Warte , which dominates the Leintal on a hill. At the top right there are symbolic castle façades and stonemasons that represent the noble families who lived in the Leintal and shaped the history and the image of the landscape ( Lords of Neipperg and the knightly canton of Kraichgau ). The symbolic semicircles stand for the good arable soil, which allows crop rotation above and below the surface. At the top left there are symbols in a rectangular field in front of a dark background, which represent the orphans from the Unterland, who are raised in the Kleingartach Children's Home , founded in 1960 (today DJHN e.V.) - the largest youth welfare facility in the Heilbronn district. While in other pictures the triangles as different pointed pyramids and random circles of different sizes, symbols for the Swabian Franconia. Forest mountains were used, here he uses the triangles of the same size as men's bow ties , underneath them are circles of the same size that are lined up like earrings .

“One of the works of art by Erich Henschel in the Heilbronn District Office, which we publish in the 'Art in the District Office' series, is this one dedicated to the Leintal. Erich Henschel explained this work as follows: The waiting tower on Heuchelberg (center) towers over the Leintal at a commanding height. Noble families live here (castle facade and stonemasons) and have shaped the history and image of this region. Good arable soil allows varied crop rotation above and below the surface (symbolic semicircles). Orphans from the lowlands find a home and guidance in life in the family houses 'Children's Home' in Eppingen-Kleingartach. "

Zabergäu

The old women mill Tripsdrill near Cleebronn served as a model for Erich Henschel

Various symbols were used as motifs, such as symbols for agriculture such as wine (Heuchelberg and Stromberg) and grain, further symbols for the sights of the Zabergäus , such as cultural monuments, but also the adventure park near Cleebronn and the nature park near Stromberg-Heuchelberg. Theodor Heuss , whose signature became the motif for Henschel's work of art, is considered the best-known personality of Zabergäus .

“In Zabergäu, agriculture and viticulture dominate; for this the artist dug up the grain and the leaf with the grape symbol. Theodro Heuss's signature documents that the first President of the Federal Republic of Germany was born in the former Oberamtsstadt Brackenheim. The circular acrylic glass panes represented the topographical stratification of the two hooves Heuchelberg and Stomberg (with the Michaelsberg as the oldest cultic center of this landscape). The schematic Jupiter column of a Roman estate near Hausen adZ as a brass profile testifies to the age of the settlement area. The magic effect of the double slide in the much-visited Altweibermühele Tripsdirttl is held in the right rock. "

reception

Stuttgarter Zeitung and Stuttgarter Nachrichten

At the topping-out ceremony (February 28, 1970), the Stuttgarter Nachrichten describes the 52-meter-high building as “the urban dominant feature of Wollhausplatz”. while the Stuttgarter Zeitung noted in particular the costs for the construction and interior fittings of the high-rise and the renovation costs for the old building at Klarastraße 23. At the inauguration (October 1, 1971), the Stuttgarter Nachrichten even described the high-rise as the “longest functional Heilbronn” and “a new, striking urban dominant” that dominated Klarastrasse and the former Wollhausplatz area. The Stuttgarter Zeitung speaks of " Pomp " in "Pompös' extended " and can not understand the " simple [...] understatement " in view of the construction volume (31,000 m²) and also lists construction costs (approx. 8 million DM ) and construction time (3 Years): “The district council and district administrator of Heilbronn call the new building of the Heilbronn district office an 'extension' with simple understatement. It is by no means with its approximately 31,000 square meters of enclosed space, which is divided into three underground floors - and ten upper floors including an attic, plus an underground car park and parking space for a total of 156 cars. Work on the point house was carried out for three years according to plans by the Heilbronn architect Rolf Winter. The financial outlay amounts to 7.8 million marks. "

Other

It is one of the few private projects of the 1970s that “illustrate” the metropolitan architecture of the city as the regional center of the Franconian region (“regional capital”) and “set new accents in the city architecture”.

"The city of Heilbronn is building for the regional center ... possibility of urban construction. A few private objects can illustrate this well: The Kilianspassage, the Laspa-Haus Marktplatz 13, the Model-Haus, the telecommunications office, the Paul-Göbel-Straße 1 building, the shopping house, the district office and the Rosenberg- Development (former sugar factory site). "

District Office, Lerchenstrasse 40 (from 1978)

On December 16, 1974, the district council decided to purchase the Bruckmann property for a new building; followed by the decision of principle of the district council on the overall concept on February 24, 1975. On March 12, 1975, the spatial plan was approved and an architectural competition was announced. The works presented by the architects were on 30./31. May 1975 by a jury chaired by the Stuttgart architect Roland Ostertag in the Hildthalle named after Erwin Hildt (March 21, 1909) in Weinsberg . The decision was finally made on August 19, 1975, when two prizes were awarded. The jury recommended that the design be carried out by the architects Roland Meister, Lothar Braun, Albrecht Stieglitz and Erwin Glaser. On September 15, 1975, the district council decided to award the contract to the architects. The construction of the new administration building began on April 26, 1976, and the topping-out ceremony was celebrated on April 15, 1977; In February 1978 the new building was finally completed.

Extension building with "lighthouse" Oststrasse / Lerchenstrasse (2010)

Rhein-Neckar-Zeitung

On July 8, 2010, the extension on Oststrasse was inaugurated with the corner tower described by the Rhein-Neckar-Zeitung as a “lighthouse”. According to the RNZ, the ten-story, cube-like tower will be a “new landmark” in the city. According to the Rhein-Neckar-Zeitung, the new buildings have a "unique selling point":

"... Now the new building and an extension of the district office on Heilbronner Oststrasse are literally growing overhead and so unmistakably into the air that - in comparison to urban buildings - in the city, which is already very poor in high-rise buildings, it is almost a new ' Unique selling proposition ' . "

Others The extension was built according to a design by the Berlin architects Hascher & Jehle ; the tower forms a “clear urban accent” and was illuminated as part of “art in architecture”. While the bright yellow and green soundproof slats dominate the facade during the day, the tower shines “like a lighthouse” at night thanks to LED lighting in blue and green.
