history
Liederkranz House at Allee 70
The Liederkranz Society House was built in 1913 by Adolf Braunwald and was located at 70 lower avenue near the Old Theater . It was a five-axis, two-story building with side projections and a hipped roof with bat dormers. In the middle of the first floor there was a larger, comfortable restaurant with wood paneling. The upper floor was reached via a staircase that was decorated with a frieze by the painter Baumüller-Stuttgart. This frieze consisted of a painting showing a procession of Bacchus. The center of the upper floor was a 200 square meter hall, the rehearsal room, which was also used for family celebrations. The motto was also written there: “The old ones remain faithful forever. Until the last song fades ”. The hall also formed the representative focal point for the better society of the city of Heilbronn in the time before the First World War. The rehearsal room was designed as a hall that was strictly divided into wall and ceiling surfaces. Green and light gray colors, gilded ornaments, nine lamps corresponding to the number of ceiling fields, adorned the room. The wall panels were enriched with paintings and busts.
On the site of the Liederkranzhaus, which was destroyed during the air raid on Heilbronn , the AOK administration building was built by Rudolf Gabel in the post-war period .
Liederkranz House on Gustav-Binder-Straße (planning)
Destroyed in the war, the Liederkranz gave a performance of Annelie's Christmas Dream on December 19, 1948 in the hall of the Post-Lichtspiele, which was used to finance the reconstruction of the Liederkranzhaus at Allee 70, which was destroyed in the war. The Liederkranz acquired a plot of land on the corner of the new Gustav-Binder-Strasse and Querschulgasse and announced a competition for the new society building. The jury consisted of Dipl.-Ing. Gabriel from Stuttgart as chairman of the jury, Lord Mayor Paul Meyle, Schilling the second chairman of the Liederkranz Association, architect Scheffler, construction officer Zimmermann and the construction committee of the Liederkranz Association. Marohn received the first prize (1500 DM), Richard Schmeißer the second (750 DM) and government builder Dr. Gabel 3rd prize (500 DM). A design from Building Councilor Mössinger was purchased (250 DM). The specifications were the installation of a representative day restaurant with an adjoining room, a hall for 300 people that was to be used as a singing bar and for events with chamber music performances and for lectures in the manner of the shooting house hall, a shop and guest room with 10 beds.
Marohn's design was characterized by a generous layout of the sequence of rooms, clear management and a "good architectural attitude" with an "exemplary connection to the neighboring buildings". The restaurant on the ground floor should be in the corner, the kitchen with buffet behind it on Querschulgasse. The shop was to be set up in the western part of the building. The entrance to the hall (for 296 people along Querschulgasse) and the restaurant should be located between the inn and the shop.
Richard Schmeißer's design envisaged that all rooms should be accommodated in one wing, with only one extension being built on Querschulgasse.
Dr. Gabel provided for the establishment of a garden courtyard, the main building will be set back and released. The draft was criticized for not considering the urban planning consequences. The planned reconstruction failed and finally only the cellar ruins of the former Liederkranzhaus were cleared on April 20, 1951 to have them removed.
