Half-timbered farmhouse, 18th century

Description of the Heimatverein Tönisberg: The Vreehof is listed in the church accounting book of 1730 with its owner Gerhard Rutters. The half-timbered building was a Lower Rhine farmhouse in which people and cattle lived under one roof. In 1980/86 the facility was restored in an exemplary manner and converted into a residential building.

Villa Marienhöhe Villa Marienhöhe Tönisberg
Achterberg 9
map
The detached villa, Marienhöhe, was changed in the 1920s. The floor plan is an irregular square, composed of rectangular building parts. The interior is still partially preserved and the floor plan is unchanged. Only the annex, in which the rooms on the mezzanine are located, was completely built in the 1920s or 1930s. That means, the spatial concept of the interior was changed, windows were renewed in shape and width and the component was clinkered from the outside. On the upper floor of the building there are still original windows and doors and the paneling of the dormers from the inside. The bathroom is separated from a room by a wooden column with a floral carving. The original staircase runs through the house unchanged. Up the stairwell, stepped original windows follow their course. The roof structure is also unchanged.

In the basement, the corridor tiles, windows and doors are still preserved, as well as the paneling halfway up in the living room and the stucco ornaments on the ceiling mirror. The colored corridor windows, together with the colored painted stairs, still reflect the colorful impression of the entrance area, in the floral shapes of the Art Nouveau. The entrance door is still original, but the front exit probably dates from the time of the changes in the 30s. The east side of the villa, in which the entrance area is located, is a stepped facade in which the entrance area is set back. The entrance is uniaxial and the entrance door can be reached via a landing. It is emphasized by a towering exit. On the upper floor there is a sundial attached to the facade. Unlike the plastered facade of the basement, the upper floor is designed in half-timbered houses.

Above the entrance door there are beautiful ornamental shapes with the words "Salve" for decoration, the door of the exit is framed by simple ornamental shapes. A protruding extension adjoins the entrance areas. It is uniaxial and facing the gable with 2 ½ storeys. The plastered facade shows a frame on the upper floor and windows coupled with a tree motif below. The mezzanine and first floor are separated by a cornice. The lettering "Marienhöhe" and the mosaic with a little red riding hood motif are changes that were probably made when the building lost its use as a manufacturer's summer house and became a convalescent home. This part of the building is covered by a curved gable. This is followed by the aforementioned modified cultivation. It is uniaxial, pulled forward and its appearance has been changed due to the clinker lining and the new window shapes. Only the fully plastered plinth that surrounds the building and the wooden roof structure have not been changed in this part of the building either. On the north side you can see the clinker-built extension, a single-axis part of the building with a wooden gable on the upper floor is set back. The shape of the windows in the mezzanine has been changed here; the windows in the basement are flanked by brackets on which a balcony may be placed. The next part of the building is also uniaxial, set back. The facade is plastered with a frame around the windows. On the south side, the stairwell shows three windows one above the other. The building is worth preserving for artistic, architectural and local historical reasons. Preservation is in the public interest.

Description of the Tönisber Heimatverein: The detached villa on Wolfsberg was built in 1903. The lettering "Marienhöhe" and the mosaic with the little red riding hood were attached in 1925 when the house was used as a children's rest home. Today the villa is privately owned.

Station reception building Station reception building Kempen
Am Bahnhof 7
card
In keeping with its importance, the Rheinische Eisenbahn Gesellschaft chose a more opulent design for the reception building and erected a seven-axis, two-storey station building with a sloping roof in Kempen.

The eaves side is structured by a central risalit with a flat gable. The openings in the gables were originally all arched. While the roof space in both gables is exposed to light through two arched windows, the structure of the gables on the street and the platform side is different. The three-axis gable design on the entrance side differs from the track side in that it is only two-axis, and on the upper floor with coupled windows. This window arrangement covers the entire upper floor. The side of the platform reveals the design from the time before the introduction of the platform barrier through the window doors. On the street side, however, the ground floor windows have been changed.

In the typical manner of the time, the railway company had the facade of the building decorated in classical forms. A cornice level with the ceiling divides the building horizontally. The wide roof overhang on brackets is still preserved on the gable ends. The window openings are emphasized by lintels. The two single-storey side extensions are later additions. Inside there is a table in front of the counter, as it was previously set up to steer the queue.

On the track side, an upper roof is attached to cast iron pillars with a profile. Particularly noticeable is the rarely preserved Polonceau girder under the roof of the platform hall. Because of its importance for the history of the city of Kempen and for the history of railway construction, there is a public interest in the preservation and use of the reception building and the platform hall of Kempen, as well as the equipment and painting parts described. The architecture of the building, which is typical of the time, provides the artistic reasons and its dominance in the urban fabric the urban planning reasons for a protected status according to § 3 DSchG.

The building at Gymnasium 24-28 in Kempen was built in 1927-29 as a fourteen-class elementary school based on a design by the Kempen architect Max Kiefer. It is still used today as a school, today a secondary school ("Martinschule").

The traditional school history of Kempens can be traced back to at least the 14th century on the basis of written certificates. In the core town of Kempens there were already two elementary schools, one each for boys and girls. The boys' school was initially in the Burse and since 1822 in a building on Judenstrasse. Growing numbers of students made it necessary to build a new four-class building on Rabenstrasse in 1850, which was expanded to six classes in the 1870s. Until the establishment of an independent five-class seminar training school in the 1880s, the boys 'school was a training school under the direction of the Kempen teachers' college. Even before the First World War, there were considerable space bottlenecks, which among other things led to a "hiking class" in changing classrooms. The situation became completely critical with the abolition of the teachers' seminar in 1925, when the practice school there also had to be integrated into the elementary school. In the meantime, it was possible to use alternative rooms in the castle, but a sufficiently large new building that also met modern demands in terms of school hygiene was inevitable.

Its financing, immediately after the World War, the occupation and inflation, meant a great effort for the city, especially since the government did not approve the hoped-for funding from the school construction border fund. For this reason, an originally planned gymnasium was not built and savings were also made on the school building. In September 1929 the new building was opened for eight classes of the previous Catholic boys' school, four classes of the mixed elementary school with boys and girls and two auxiliary school classes.

The site of today's Martinschule is right next to that of the former teachers' college, which opened in 1910 and which has housed the Thomaeum grammar school since 1925. The street Am Seminar, today Am Gymnasium, branching off from the Ringstraße was expanded at the same time.

The broad, two-story brick building with a hipped roof is set off from the street with a small area. Originally, a small wall with an entrance gate closed off the property, today a continuous hedge. On the street front, on both floors, six three-part, small-stepped windows flanking a central building protruding from the escape on three sides, the three-story tower-like stretching into the roof zone and here, together with the two-sided adjoining dormitories, marks and illuminates a converted attic. Its masonry is "rusticated" by thin bands and set off from the smooth brick surfaces of the building. The main entrance on its ground floor, with its distinctive, diagonally incised walls, is now blocked and relocated to the rear. This brick banding typical of the time can also be found on the corners of the building and between the ground floor windows. According to the original draft, the wide dwelling was to have a somewhat more elaborate, multi-tiered roof, which, however, was reduced for cost reasons. Pointed overhanging cornice edges and a second, somewhat recessed cornice line nevertheless set striking contours here. The four-part windows of the dwelling are placed close together and drawn together like a ribbon.

The front sides of the building have only one central window axis in a brick frame and thus signal the central corridor concept of the interior. Here, too, small rows of dwelling houses illuminate the attic. The wall design and proportions of the courtyard side are aligned with the street front. Here, too, a three-storey risalit emphasizes the center; However, it is not broken polygonally, but it has an extremely effective appearance, on the other hand it stands flat in front of the escape. On the ground floor there is an entrance door on each side and above it three tall rectangular, two-story window frames that illuminate the stairwell inside. Here, too, the brick is used as a surface-dividing design element by means of bands and gradations. A prominent, straight eaves edge completes the risalit. This degree was originally planned to be a little more complex. However, the deletion of three-storey, triangular pointed corridors protruding from the facade at both ends, which on the one hand appear to be superimposed in the plan drawing, but on the other hand would have added an extremely effective, "expressionist" element, constitutes a significant reduction compared to the draft plans.

Inside, the architect had to give preference to a central corridor over the actually recommended single-hip class structure for reasons of cost. This characteristic division has been preserved, as has the generous original staircase with two-armed, three-flight staircase and simple metal railing. The auditorium on the top floor was previously used as a gym as the original gym had to be omitted. The only noteworthy structural change is the subsequent closure of the street-side main entrance (there today the director's room).

Even if the architect Kiefer had to forego some extravagant details, the school still represents the typical “brick expressionist” style of the second half of the 1920s. Contemporaries saw it as a “splendid school building” with bright and airy rooms, a “ray of light, where one practices the cultivation of the spirit, the responsibility towards a youth who has not yet fallen victim to the materialistic phenomena” Niederrheinische Tageblatt of September 7, 1929 With its high-quality architecture, it corresponded to the rank and self-image of Kempen as a school center, as it had already been expressed in 1910 in the representative teacher seminar building on the neighboring property. Structurally, it is well preserved to this day and thus a clear testimony both to the school history and public services of the city of Kempen as well as to the architectural-historical development of the school system in the twenties.

Max Kiefer was born on September 15, 1889 in Kempen. He studied architecture at the renowned universities in Munich and Aachen, while working for the Reichsbahn and after completing his studies in Aachen in 1914, he was probably employed by the municipal building authorities. In the twenties he worked as a private architect. In 1936 he joined the Reich Aviation Ministry as an architect; one year earlier it had joined the SS, later he belonged to the Waffen-SS and headed Department CII in the economic administration, administrative main office, the v. a. was concerned with the construction of concentration camps and their “special facilities”, which in addition to sickness camps probably also included gas chambers. - For war crimes and crimes against humanity, Kiefer was sentenced to life imprisonment by the American military tribunal in Nuremberg in 1947. The sentence was later reduced to 20 years.

The Martinschule, Am Gymnasium 24-28, is important for Kempen as a high-quality elementary school that is still in use and in good condition today. For the reasons given, there is a public interest in their preservation and use for scientific reasons, here for reasons of local history and architecture. There are also historical reasons, as it is the work of a person from contemporary history, the architect Max Kiefer who was involved in the construction of concentration camps in the “Third Reich”. According to § 2 (1) Monument Protection Act, it is therefore an architectural monument.

Heumischhof chapel Heumischhof chapel Schmalbroich
Am Heumischhof
map
The chapel, which emerged from a beet barn, is a structurally integrated part of a four-winged brick courtyard, on the southeast side of which it extends with a rectangular floor plan. It also shows exposed brickwork itself, interrupted by slender, high-rectangular window openings with spruced wooden windows and flat segmented lintels. The pitched roof, covered with dark pans and hipped over the choir, has a roof turret with a bell. The entrance is on the side at the rear of the chapel.

The interior of the chapel, which has not been easted, shows itself today without the paintings by Father Petrus Jans, which were destroyed in the war. The roof structure, which is left openly visible, has a decisive impact on the spatial impression. In the rear area, a wooden organ loft covers the interior, in the retracted choir stands the block altar, which has been moved away from the wall after the liturgical reform. The choir and nave are separated by a large round arch.

Important furnishings from the 1940s / 1950s (listed after 75 years of the Heumischhof Chapel):

  • Bronze candlesticks u. Victory cross with the tree of life in the choir behind the altar

(both: design: P. Petrus Jans; execution: Buschkötter, Krefeld)

  • Way of the Cross (Josef Höttges, Mönchengladbach)
  • Figures of Our Lady, Josef, Benedikt (Prof. Emil Sutor, Karlsruhe)
  • Angel window i. Choir (design: P. Petrus Jans; execution: Fa Derix, Kevelaer, approx. 1963)
  • Organ (Klais, 1950)

Monument value: The chapel of the Heumischhof is important for Kempen as a testimony to the practice of religion in Schmalbroich and because of its unusual history, which is closely linked to other significant historical testimonies in its area (Mariendonk, Neersdommer Mühle, Weibshof). There is a public interest in their preservation and use for scientific reasons, in particular for the local and religious-historical reasons presented. The chapel is also of interest in terms of the history of architecture and mentality, as buildings that were rebuilt immediately after their destruction during the war and essentially preserved as such are very rare. It is therefore a monument in accordance with Section 2 of the NRW Monument Protection Act

The following can be deciphered: hae C Cr VX sol..M ... bene ... The sandstone cross and the footrest are attached to the back of the church wall with iron struts. The straight hanging, muscular body shows Christ with a slightly inclined head and a crown of thorns, with on the right. Side knotted loincloth and feet nailed next to each other.

The Thomas von Kempen monument was designed by the Aachen sculptor Lambert Piedboeuf in 1901. The two-tier base made of Fichtelgebirge granite is surrounded by an octagonal stone surround made of basalt lava.

Above it rises an antique, black marble pedestal made of Nordic syenite, profiled above and below. A bronze plaque is attached to the front (west side) of the base. Above the inscription "Thomas von Kempen" you can see the city coat of arms, surrounded by a hanging garland. Thomas von Kempen is depicted as a seated figure on the pedestal. He wears a richly folded religious robe, a scholarly cloak and a cap. He rests his right hand on the bench. She was probably holding a quill. With his left hand on his lap, Thomas holds his main work, “Imitation of Christ”, towards the viewer.

Arnold factory Arnold factory Kempen
Arnoldstrasse 13
map
1. Meaning:

L. & C. Arnold is an example of a branch of industrial production that was oriented towards the serial production of handcrafted products in order to make them accessible to a growing market in industrial society via mass production. This process was initially accompanied by the contemporary criticism of civilization with great reservations and was only recognized as part of our culture in the 1920s. Steel tubes as a construction element of the new type of furniture played a dominant role, in particular shaped the chair design of the avant-garde of that time, but also the everyday culture in hospitals, sanatoriums, etc.

With its plant in Kempen, the Arnold company documents the place of origin of these products and, with the size of the plant, gives an impression of the importance of this branch of production.

In the architectural training, the Kempen plant demonstrates high-quality brick architecture from historicism. The transition from the traditional segmented arched windows to the large rectangular windows that were used as early as 1901 is remarkable, which enabled more favorable lighting of the factory rooms and, together with the wall templates, result in a grid architecture in the facade structure that plays the inner construction system and refers to the future architecture of classical modernism. The buildings operated are therefore important for the development of architecture. The L. & C. Arnold finally made a contribution to the industrialization of the Lower Rhine and the city of Kempen.

Buildings 6, 9, 9a, 4 and 5 as well as the chimney and water tower (see map) are listed as historical monuments. These are the main buildings of the original factory complex and the first major expansion. These parts of the building are relatively little changed and are the essential elements of the factory complex with a very high reference value. With their western and southern facades, they are the traditional appearance of the factory complex and, with regard to their urban appearance, of absolutely paramount importance.

The L. & C. In the parts described, Arnold in Kempen is significant for human history, for the development of production and working conditions and for the history of the city of Kempen.

Its preservation is in the public interest for architectural, urban planning, scientific and urban historical reasons.

2. Description:

The factory in Kempen from 1901 had three main visual points of reference: the three-storey final assembly parallel to the railway line, the paint shop with locksmith's shop, which was preceded axially by a water tower in rich brick architecture, and the foundry with its splendid gable facing the railway line. The administration building was erected on the street that leads past the factory entrance. The pipe plant from 1905, which is so important for the company's history, rounds off the plant in the east. The plant expansion in 1910 (final assembly) and 1914/15 (paint shop) resulted in a new main façade consisting of three gables, in which a stair tower in front sets a similar accent as the water tower at the foundation plant before.

Production / final assembly and dispatch, 1901 around 1910; Arch .: Salzmann

The three-storey brick building with a gable roof develops along the track in a monumental length. The most striking means of structuring is the alternation between the red bricks for wall surfaces and the slightly protruding wall pillars between the window axes and the yellow bricks for lintels, ribbon-like strips in the masonry and the metope-like eaves cornice. On the ground floor there are rectangular windows with lintels made of double T-iron and on the two upper floors segmental arched windows that are combined in twins. Largely preserved cast-iron lattice windows. The south gable is particularly emphasized with crenellated pinnacles above the corner pillars and a stepped central section. The north gable was structured similarly.

In the original 9-axis building from 1901 (northern section of the building), the system of the facade structure is interrupted in the central axis with large undivided segment-arched windows and a rectangular opening on the ground floor. This part was originally gabled.

The two components, dating from 1901 and around 1910, each have an inner structure made of cast iron columns in two rows and concrete ceilings on double T-beams.

The building has not changed much structurally. The western long side of the building facing the train station and the south gable are of outstanding importance for the expansion of the entire complex and of particular importance in terms of shaping the cityscape.

Three-storey brick building on a T-shaped floor plan with pitched roofs. Change from red brickwork for walls and wall templates with yellow bricks for ribbon-like stripes. Strong eaves cornice with block frieze. Large rectangular windows with lintels made of double T profiles and small metal bars. Two lavishly designed gables with mighty-looking pinnacles are enthroned above the south facade above the wall templates and a stair-like central zone. Inner construction made of later coated cast supports and concrete ceilings. The building complex is essentially unchanged. In some areas the original ceilings have been replaced by new reinforced concrete ceilings. Due to various smaller subordinate additions without special reference value, the building complex is partly built-in, and the transition building to the water tower is partly new and looks very strange. As a central component from the founding phase, it looks very strange. As a central component from the founding phase of the entire factory, the building complex is of particular importance.

Water tower, 1901; Arch .: Salzmann (Building W)

Axially in front of the paint shop, massive brick-walled tower on a rectangular floor plan in the gable roof. The facade is structured by a system of recessed, segmental arched wall fields. The floor for the two approx. 20-30 m³ water tanks is slightly cantilevered in the tower head.

The water tower was used to store process water, which was pumped into the tanks via two 16 m deep wells on the factory premises.

The water tower has changed relatively significantly in the area of ​​the gable roof. Various changes have taken place in the ground floor area by adding subordinate outbuildings. The appearance of the water tower is characteristic of the appearance of the entire factory.

Chimney (building S)

Despite its reduced height, the chimney is still characteristic of the overall appearance.

Production / former paint shop, 1914/15; Arch .: Salzmann and Ganzlin (Buildings 4 and 5)

Compact structure, which was placed in front of the old factory in the south as a brick plant on a U-shaped floor plan and thus shaped the appearance of the factory in the central factory yard opposite the administration building. The three wings are covered with gable roofs. The inner courtyard between the three wings is built over. Two wings face the work yard with brick gables, so that with the gable of the final assembly (around 1910) there is a monumental three-gable front. The sequence of the gables is interrupted by a stair tower with a hipped roof protruding from the escape projection.

The architecture of this extension is more reserved than the formal language of the foundations. This applies to the alternation of red brickwork and yellow brick strips and the detailed shapes. Only one gable, in strongly stylized forms, is based on the system of the older facade structure with pinnacles above the corner pillars, a gable triangle above the central axis and a stair frieze below the verge, rectangular windows with only partially preserved ones

Close-meshed metal bars, internal structure made of cast iron supports and concrete ceilings. The construction was planned in 1914 as a “new paint shop” with a locksmith's shop on the ground floor and a paint shop on the upper floor. Today part of the administration is located in the south gable.

history

Louis Arnold, who ran an iron shop in Schorndorf for many years, ventured into industrial production with his son Carl Ludwig during the turbulent times of the founding years and founded the iron furniture factory L. & C. Arnold in 1871. As early as 1871, production could begin in the new factory in Schorndorf with 12 workers. The company did well. The initial restriction to garden furniture (which is why the young company also called itself garden furniture factory) was abandoned as early as 1872 when iron bed frames were added to the production program. It followed: flower stands, pot stands, coat stands and umbrella stands, bottle cabinets, sleds. The iron beds were also supplied to hospitals and sanatoriums in 1876. The plant in Schorndorf expanded strongly in the 1880s and 1890s and was supplemented by three branch plants: Stendal in 1889, Ernsbach in 1889 and Kempen in 1901.

According to plans by the Düsseldorf architect Salzmann, the plant was erected within a few months: construction began at the end of March 1901 and the topping-out ceremony was held on August 10, 1901 (Hermes 1972, p. 1). The Kempen plant started operations in 1901 with 85 men. The production program was similar to that in Schorndorf and Stendal, but with a focus on the manufacture of tubular steel beds.

In this context, the license for the manufacture of electro-welded steel tubes, taken over from the USA by Standard Electric Welding Co., became particularly important. The license was acquired in 1905 and a pipe factory was built at the same time in the Kempen plant. However, the machines delivered from the USA still had to be rebuilt by specialists.

The Kempen plant also expanded rapidly. Production was expanded until 1910, and in 1914/15 the decade-old facility was extended to a spacious complex on Arnoldstrasse. The workforce grew to 250 men by 1914 (Hermes 1972, p. 5).

Wooden furniture was added to the production program in the 1920s. In 1926 the Arnold-Werke were leaders in Europe in the manufacture of tubular steel furniture. With 1400 employees, 1200 bed frames, 1300 garden furniture and 600 other models were produced every day.

Arnold now dared to collaborate with the avant-garde in architecture and design. In 1927 the German Werkbund presented the epoch-making Weißenhofsiedlung in Stuttgart, to which the most prominent architects of the time (Gropius, Le Corbusier, Behrens, Oud) made contributions under the direction of Mies van der Rohe. In a row house built by the Dutchman Mart Stam, a whole range of tubular steel furniture was on display: chairs, armchairs, children's and adult beds and shelves. Mart Stam presents the first self-supporting Suhlrohr chair, which was later followed by the more famous models by Mies van der Rohe and Marcel Breuer. The furniture designed by Stam was supplied by Arnold. An aluminum chair by Marcel Breuer, which won an award in 1932, was also built by Arnold 100 Years ... 1971, p. 5.

description

The factory in Kempen from 1901 (photo by Hermes 1972, p. 2) had three main visual reference points: the three-storey final assembly parallel to the railway line, the paint shop with locksmith's shop, which was preceded axially by a water tower with a rich brick architecture, and the foundry with its splendid gable equipment to the railway line. The administration building was erected on the street that leads past the factory entrance. The pipe plant from 1905, which is so important for the company's history, rounds off the plant in the east. The plant expansion in 1910 (final assembly) and 1914/15 (paint shop) resulted in a new main façade consisting of three gables, in which a stair tower in front sets a similar accent as the water tower at the foundation plant before.

Rohrwerk 1905

Two-storey brick building above a high base storey on an angular floor plan with a gable roof. Alternation of red masonry and yellow bricks for architectural divisions. Large rectangular windows predominantly with horizontal formats. The windows in the basement are divided by brick pillars. Lintels from double T-beams, small metal lattice windows, wall templates between the window axes are connected under the eaves by a bracket frieze. South gable with capped pinnacles above the corner pillars and a stepped central zone. The south gable is partially obscured by an extension from 1960.

Oriented towards the factory yard, a two-storey brick building for the sawmill and pipe store is attached at right angles to the main building of the pipe works.

meaning

L. & C. Arnold is an example of a branch of industrial production that was oriented towards the serial production of handcrafted products in order to make them accessible to a growing market in industrial society via mass production. This process was initially accompanied by the contemporary criticism of civilization with great reservations and was only recognized as part of our culture in the 1920s. Steel tubes as a construction element of the new type of furniture played a dominant role, in particular shaped the chair design of the avant-garde of that time, but also the everyday culture in hospitals, sanatoriums, etc.

With its plant in Kempen, the Arnold company documents the place of origin of these products and, with the size of the plant, gives an impression of the importance of this branch of production.

In the architectural training, the Kempen plant demonstrates high-quality brick architecture from historicism. The transition from the traditional segmented arched windows to the large rectangular windows that were used as early as 1901 is remarkable, which enabled more favorable lighting of the factory rooms and, together with the wall templates, result in a grid architecture in the facade structure that plays the inner construction system and refers to the future architecture of classical modernism. The buildings operated are therefore important for the development of architecture.

The L. & C. Arnold finally made a contribution to the industrialization of the Lower Rhine and the city of Kempen.

The parts of the L. & C. Arnold plant in Kempen are therefore significant for human history, for the development of production and working conditions and for the history of the city of Kempen. Its preservation is in the public interest for urban planning and scientific, in particular economic, technical and architectural-historical reasons.

The Drabbensche Chronicle on Beyertzhof mentions the Vossen Cross near Voßenhof as early as the 17th century. The wayside cross, which originally stood under the large oak tree, was relocated to the smaller garden of the married couple Johannes and Maria Driehsen due to the new road layout in the St. Hubert Heide. The inauguration took place on June 3, 1984. The owners and the St. Hubert local history association had previously arranged for the cross and body to be restored 17th century Apr 28, 1988 128

Two-storey corner house facing Schaephuysener Str. Brick, two-storey in 3: 3 axes, pilaster structure and sandstone door frames. Curved gable over the two left axes. Weather vane with the year 1750.

Description of the Heimatverein Tönisberg

The house looks back on more than 250 years of history as an inn and was formerly also called “Jägerhof” and “Restauration zum Hirsch”. The oldest part of the building, in which the Heimatstube of the Heimatverein Tönisberg is housed today, dates from the middle of the 16th century. The main building, originally erected in 1611 as a half-timbered building, received its present form in 1750. This is evidenced by the iron gable decoration. At that time, the building was given enclosing walls made of brick, which are designed in the late Baroque style on both sides of the street. The tail gable with the ball attachments is particularly beautiful. The private museum for Lower Rhine Pottbäckerkeramik has been located in the former guest rooms and the operating room since 2008.

Former Tönisberg school Former Tönisberg school Tönisberg
Bergstrasse 38
map
The former elementary school of Tönisberg, today used as a municipal administration building (partly rented), is a two-story brick building on the southwestern edge of Tönisberg. Located at the junction of Bergstrasse and Windmühlenweg, it is the only historical building in its vicinity amid new residential buildings.

The entrance facade of the school is oriented towards the center of Tönisberg. The somewhat inharmonious-looking appearance of the building with a gable-facing wing and a larger-looking wing facing the eaves reflects a two-part structure that was not given to this extent from the beginning, but is the result of the building history.

According to the information gathered by the Heimatverein, the school was built in 1880 according to a plan by the Krefeld architect Wienges. A sketch from 1885 shows the original building stock that existed at the time: a two-storey gable corresponding to today's dimensions (although not in the individual forms), and a single-storey eaves wing in which the school hall was located. The gable part of the house served as an apartment on both floors. The entrance was in the same place as it is today, between the two halves.

A photo taken in 1912, on the other hand, already shows the current state, i.e. H. above all an increase in the school hall by another storey and the decorative corner and ridge accentuation of the gable. The addition of a second class must therefore have taken place between 1885 and 1912, whereby the jewelry shapes that were also added make a construction period in the 1890s probable. Due to the increase, the proportions have been reversed insofar as the hall part now protrudes over the wall area of ​​the originally higher-level living part.

Together with the typical cornices and cornices (German volume), the mentioned stresses are the only designed elements on the otherwise unadorned facade. The school hall part has five axes of segment-arched, high-rectangular window openings (the windows have been modernly renewed), the left-hand ground floor axis is deeply mixed in and raised above a few steps is the main entrance with an old double-winged (wooden door with flat festoons under glass inserts). The gable of the residential part has three axes of windows of the same format, and a pair of small windows are arranged above in the gable field.

The originally wing-like grouping of the two components is now closed by a rear attachment to the hall wing to form a compact rectangle. This extension was possibly created with the addition or a little later. While the wall surfaces have remained visible all around, the rear gable of the apartment has a cement plaster. The roof surfaces of the two gable roofs are largely closed and have no superstructures.

The most important historical element inside is the fact that the two school halls can still be seen in the floor plan. Two historical staircases have also been preserved; the older one in the residential part of the house with accentuated starting posts and turned bars, the second behind the classes also with starting posts and a closed parapet.

As a former school in Tönisberg, the Bergstrasse 38 building in Tönisberg is important for Kempen. In the midst of today's structurally disparate surroundings, the school is the only building able to set a recognizable historical accent, especially since many residents of Tönisberg actually spent their school days here.

In terms of architectural history, the school in Tönisberg is not of great importance. The somewhat heterogeneous exterior reflects the typical growth of a school, which here in Tönisberg was not implemented by an independent extension, but by an addition. Together with the typical row of large windows, the purpose of the building is clearly visible from the outside. Except for the unsuitable modern windows, the entrance facade including the door is still well preserved. Inside, the floor plan with the location of the entrance and the two existing classrooms as well as the stairs testify to the historical use. The overall reference value for a rural school building from the late 19th century is therefore still intact despite the discernible changes. For reasons of school history, but above all for reasons of local history, there is therefore a public interest in the preservation and use of the former school. The former school in Tönisberg, Bergstrasse 38 is important for Kempen. There is a public interest in their preservation and use for scientific reasons, here for reasons of school and local history. It is therefore an architectural monument according to § 2 (1) of the Monument Protection Act NW.

Description of the Heimatverein Tönisberg:

Since the village school on Vluyner Straße had become too small for the 201 schoolchildren in the village, the Tönisberg community built a new school building with a teacher's apartment on Hülser Straße in 1880. In 1910 another classroom had to be added. The building has not been used as a school since 1966 and was sold in 2007. The house was renovated and converted into apartments.

A triangular gable with two flat arched windows is hidden in front of the roof. The gable is provided with a blown cornice, block frieze and floral stucco. A cuboid of edges extends over the entire height of the facade. The wall-like porch on the ground floor must be mentioned as a major structural intervention. The entrance to the building, which was built around 1905, is on the eaves side. It can be reached via a single flight of stairs in front of the side wing, which is suspected of having a flat arch architecture resting on pilasters. On the upper floor of this side wing there is a loggia in a comparable representation above the entrance area.

Plaster masonry prevails on the upper floor, decorative elements are made of red brick. The windows on the left and right axes form arched ends, in the central axis there is a rectangular window, which was probably only designed in this way after a renovation. Half of the storey under the gable roof is made entirely of brick and was probably built later. The historical character was severely impaired by the structural changes.

The corner building at Donkring 77 / Vorster Strasse was built in 1898 as a restaurant for Johann Bongartz, resident at Vorster Strasse 1. The draftsman was the architect Hubert Dohmen. On postcards from 1930 the house is referred to as “Restaurant Thelen-Bongartz”, with “lounge, car garages and stables”.

It is a two-storey corner building in a prominent urban development location, at the confluence of the country road leading to the south with the ring road (city expansion in the 19th century) four axes including an input. Flattened into the corner as an additional axis in the manner characteristic of this corner house type and contains the actual entrance to the inn (with old door). Above it, it is emphasized by a protruding bay window with a tower-like cant in the roof area.

The corner area of ​​the building with a size of 4x1x4 axes is given an additional attic by a mansard roof, while the building is lower in the area of ​​the left four axes along the Donkring due to a simple saddle roof without a roof extension.

The street facades of the house show a brick plaster facade, with a square rustic ground floor and a clinkered upper floor, in which parapets, walls and cornices are decorated with ornamented plaster surfaces or bands. Windows and doors on the ground floor are arched, on the upper floor they are rectangular with structured plaster walls. The slated mansard is structured by dormer windows, of which only the round oculus in the tower-like structure of the corner axis has retained its ornamented frame.

On Vorster Strasse, the house is attached to the neighboring building, the free-standing gable on the left side of the Donkring and the backs are simple and brick-transparent, as is typical of the time.

Inside, the original layout, including essential wall-mounted equipment details, has largely been preserved. The taproom on the ground floor is divided into three room parts by beams. Stuccoed capitals as well as valley profiles and central rosettes create a vivid historical spatial image. The former kitchen adjoins the gable with a hard-wearing terrazzo floor. The side entrance on Vorster Straße leads into a hallway with a staircase, the separate adjoining rooms and the ceiling stucco on the ground floor and across all floors the wooden staircase, two-armed in opposite directions with a turning platform and turned handrails. On the upper floor, the “common room” has been preserved above the ground floor restoration, with a floorboard and stuccoed central rosettes on the ceilings. Guest rooms as well as rooms for maids and laundry and ironing work were accommodated in the attic according to the original construction plan. The house also has a full basement.

It is a restaurant building from the turn of the 19th to the 20th century, with a more than 100-year-old tradition of use, which has been extensively preserved both inside and out. In addition, there is its valuable urban location in the urban expansion area, in a corner at the confluence of one of the old country roads with the ring road around the medieval town center. Within the legally binding monument area 2, it has a high impact and sets "a striking urban development accent" (statute). Since very considerable floor plan and equipment elements from the construction period have also been preserved inside, an expansion of the scope of protection from the urban appearance to the overall building including the interior is objectively justified and advisable.

As a more than 100-year-old restaurant and as a defining structural component of the urban expansion area along the ring and arterial roads, the building at Donkring 77 / corner of Vorster Strasse is important for Kempen. There is a public interest in its preservation and use for the urban planning reasons described and in particular for the clearly preserved structure of use and furnishings, also for scientific reasons, in this case architectural-historical reasons. According to § 2 (1) Monument Protection Act NRW it is therefore a monument.

This oldest house of Our Lady in Kempen at the former Ellentor is not mentioned until 1540. Drutgen Ververs donated this year for the eternal light in this house in honor of St. Anna and the Virgin Mary two gardens on Schmalbroicher Weg. On August 9, 1766, Katharina Sittarts expanded this foundation with another garden located at Ellentor. This little house originally stood between Neustrasse and Ellenstrasse. The expansion of the Möhlenring in 1935 necessitated a relocation to the Becker family's property. On August 9, 1935, Provost Oehmen inaugurated this holy house. Just ten years later, it was completely destroyed in World War II. According to a plan by Dipl.-Ing. Friedhelm Sieben, the sanctuary was rebuilt and consecrated on February 2nd, 1960 by Provost Lux. The house, built from field fire bricks, has an exposed concrete roof covered with sheet copper. Behind the equal-armed, gold-plated metal wreath mounted over the top of the gable is a small chimney for the smoke outlet. The niche for the figure of the saint is secured by a white framed window. The valuable representation of St. Mother Anna, who carries her daughter on the left side of her lap, dates from the 16th century. She could be saved from the rubble. Josef Lutz from Leutkirch in the Allgäu restored it for the festive consecration on Candlemas Day 1960. Under the niche there is a basalt lava flower bank, underneath a basalt lava plaque with the following inscription:

Jewish Cemetery Jewish Cemetery Kempen
Grünkesweg
map
At the beginning of the 19th century, the Jewish community was able to acquire a piece of land from the community of Schmalbroich, on which a burial place was soon created. The contract was wrapped up on April 4, 1809.

"We signed Maire and Adjunct with prior knowledge and approval from the Municipal Council of the community of Schmalbroich Mairie Kempen hereby sell, and by virtue of this piece of vulgarity, the following of the local Jews, to set up a cemetery for their burial, under the following conditions:

1.We Maire and Adjunkt are selling a piece of mean land of half an acre located not far from the Landstrasse, so going from Kempen to Öd, on the one hand Grünle's farm, on the other hand the Domanial Busch there, and which piece was actually measured at half an acre , which end the Jewry has to pay a room for Verßungs Kösten per rod.

2. It is hereby expressly reserved and conditioned to draw a moor around this piece on the cost of Judaism, which would have to be five feet high, but in addition to the moor, to dig a trench three feet wide.

3. If the purchase price is set at 150 Francs, which is to be paid out immediately to the recipient Henrich Goertsches.

4. Finally, it is recalled that although on February 27th, 1808, the government asked for authorization to sell the piece, it would not have been carried out until the present hour, and that it would hardly have been done because the government is unwilling to consent to such sales, Incidentally, it is also connected with too many formalities in order to insert further debts, it is hereby expressly reserved that if this sale should be overturned early or late by the government, then Jews should be obliged to pay back the purchase price for this item Congregation to stand down again and to leave. "

The Jewish cemetery in Kamperlings near Oedter Straße, today located on Breslauer Straße at the corner of Grünkesweg, houses 94 tombstones from the period between 1845 and 1944. The tombstones of the Kounen family are outstanding, five granite steles of the same shape, but more or less descriptive inscription. The two stones on the right, created by the Krefeld stonemason Wolff, are reminiscent of Esther (1816–1894) and Isaac Kounen (1810–1886). Isaac Kounen was one of the wealthiest Jews in Kempen, owned a silk factory, and also worked for many years in the city council. The inscriptions praise the extraordinary piety, the founding activity and the special commitment in the sense of the Zedeka of the childless married couple. Isaac Kounen's tireless study of the Torah is highlighted. The name of the woman as Kohenet, as a "priestess", is very rare on Jewish gravestones: "Born as Kohenet, she was brought to a Kohen, therefore her hands are spread out in blessing".

The Kempen Jewish cemetery was badly damaged during the Nazi era and was restored by the municipality in the early 1970s. In November 1968 the Jewish cemetery in Oedt was relocated to Kempen: the bones of 25 dead in 19 chests and the grave monuments came to Kempen.

In addition to Kounen, other clusters of names concern the Lambertz, Winter families (including the well-known lawyer Dr. Karl Winter and his family), Goldschmidt and Rahm. Many tombstones are inscribed in Hebrew and German, some on the front and back. A symbol that is used several times is the "two hands". Often the tombstones carry a saying from the Torah or other sayings, such as B. "Only what is lost is acquired / You only live forever that is dead"

According to Jewish custom, no flowers are planted on the graves.

Grave field borders exist only very sporadically, the stele-like stones (mostly sandstone, partly granite, etc.) are combined into several groups or "rows" in a tree-lined green area. The former enclosure wall no longer exists.

As a testimony to Jewish life and its eventful history, the Jewish cemetery is important for the history of the people and for Kempen. For scientific, here historical reasons, there is a public interest in its preservation. With regard to the design of the tombstones and the texts of their inscriptions, there are also artistic and religious-historical reasons. The requirement of § 2 (1) Monument Protection Act for an entry in the list of monuments is therefore given. In the sense of this law, the cemetery in its entirety is a monument, with the historical gravestones as constituent and substantial components worthy of protection.

Heilig-Geist-Straße 2 / Peterstraße 34
map
The corner building at Heilig-Geist-Straße 2 / Peterstraße 34, built in 1910, is planned as a residential and commercial building with a yellowish clinker brick facade. It is a three-storey building that faces Heilig-Geist-Straße in five axes. The window cornices are sloping. On the first floor, three narrow windows are linked in the left axis. The door and window shapes are rounded off in a slightly romanized shape, with three-quarter columns set into the reveal. The design of the basement with the wide window front that goes around the corner is original. Only the framing and window structure has been changed (formerly wooden frame and in the upper area smaller windows with narrow struts).

In the uniaxial corner area, a two-story bay window with a pyramid-shaped roof structure rises from the upper floor and protrudes over the roof surface. The building presents itself in two axes towards Peterstrasse. In the facade design, the element of the three-coupled windows on the first floor and the widened window on the second floor was adopted. There is a public interest in maintaining the property for urban planning reasons.

District Court District Court Kempen
Hessenring 43
map
The district court consists of the building erected in 1892 and 1905 as well as an annex built across the rear in the post-war period (1958), which is not included in the monument value. The central main part, placed at an angle to the Hessenring (two-story, three-axis) contains the representative entrance and the large staircase. The central axis is emphasized on the ground floor by the wide, recessed entrance door that can be reached through an arch and steps, and on the upper floor by a three-coupled window. The originally preserved wooden entrance door with a solid door frame and separated skylight is vaulted with an archivolt-like decorated entrance arch.

The windows on the ground floor are rounded, and on the upper floor they are rectangular. The facade is structured horizontally by a cornice that is cranked around the opening. The left axis is raised by a single-story turret with a helmet that extends over the hipped roof.

With the wide side facade, the building faces Wiesenstrasse. This is nine-axis, with a strongly protruding structure from the 2nd to 4th axis. This is three-storey and is covered by its own hipped roof, the gable of which faces the street. The structure of the facade corresponds to that of the entrance front, with arched windows on the ground floor and rectangular ones on the upper floor, whereby the central axis is again emphasized by a three-coupled window. From the 5th axis, the structure recedes strongly. It is a later extension around 1905, but it takes over the old structure of the facade.

The facades have a younger rough plaster. The windows and the ornate entrance are framed with red sandstone. Red sandstone blocks decorate the corners of the building. The base of the main facade is provided with embossed stones. The windows have recently been renewed.

Inside, the elaborate staircase with pillars (ground floor) and columns (upper floor), which carry cross vaults with wide belts, has been preserved. The original banisters and the tiled floors have also been preserved. The doors to the service rooms were renewed in the post-war period.

The original door of the main building has been preserved. The staircase in the side stair tower has also been handed down.

The district court object is significant for human history. There are urban planning and architectural-historical reasons for its preservation and use.

Former Catholic elementary school Former Catholic elementary school St. Hubert
Hohenzollernplatz 19
map
The broadside of the two-storey brick building with a hipped roof faces the Hohenzollernplatz, which here again narrows to the street. The eaves-standing school wing and the three-axis wide gable of the former teacher's apartment can be seen on its asymmetrical front. The school wing has a flat entrance risatite with a large stairwell window and a former stepped gable, which was subsequently purified to a simple triangle. On both sides of the risalite, four segment-arched windows on both floors reflect the front, original classrooms. On the right-hand side from the front, large corridor windows (the former lower entrance) show the one-hip floor plan. The first extension wing from 1913/17 adjoins the courtyard in adapted shapes (up to the block eaves frieze). The second extension in 1952/53 supplemented the now L-shaped structure of the school building into a U-shaped overall structure, between whose wings a new single-storey entrance wing was inserted in 1960. The extension planned by Hannes Martens in 1952/53 takes up the disposition of the old building, but translates it into the form language typical of the time, with five tall rectangular windows with straight lintels per classroom, which are placed flush with the outer wall in the masonry.

Inside is next to the one-hip floor plan v. a. the original staircase with two-way, straight, massive staircase with a turning platform, original metal railing and lead glass window with a colored depiction of St. Hubertus (1961: Pitt van Treek, Hüls) is worth mentioning. In the former teacher's apartment, the original wooden staircase and frame panel doors and the corresponding frames have also been preserved.

The former elementary school has apparently undergone some major renovations (including outer skin, window renewal, entrance project), so that the substantial, historical value is impaired. Today's appearance still gives a clear impression of a school building from the beginning of the 20th century that characterizes the town, with harmoniously designed extensions. The historical dimension of the building is proven not least by the extensive documentation of the Heimatverein (see sources). Since the building has an identity-creating significance for the town of St. Hubert that meets the requirements of the Monument Protection Act, an entry in the list of monuments can be justified and justified.

Former syringe house at the Hannerhof Former syringe house at the Hannerhof St. Hubert
Hülser Landstrasse 34
map
The simple brick building, probably from the 2nd half of the 19th century (1861?), Rises on a rectangular floor plan and is covered by a tile-covered gable roof. In accordance with its purpose, it is arranged at the gable end of the path leading by, with a wide, segment-arched and once stepped opening. On the front and back, the gable triangle is tied down by a frieze with a German ribbon and opened with a semicircular eyepiece.

The interior has no built-in components and has an open roof structure. A single anchor beam bears the inscription “Gem. Orbroich 1861 ".

From the monument inventory, the building was erroneously referred to as the holy house, although there is no doubt that it was used locally as a syringe house for the surrounding monuments. Today's house probably already had predecessors in the same place. In the past few years it was vacant or used as a stable, it was originally used to house the fire extinguisher, which had replaced manual fire fighting at the earliest in the 16th century, and on the Lower Rhine around the second half of the 17th century. After urban beginnings, fire extinguishers were also handed down in rural communities in the 18th century.

The commemorative publication for the 75th anniversary of the fire brigade (1957) reports for St. Hubert: "The oldest news about the purchase of an incendiary syringe for the Orbroich community is dated March 21, 1756". At that time the Scheffe Matteias Kauertz and the men of honor Arnoldus Hanners, Hendricus Steiger, Alexander Louschen, Petter Pilters and Jacobus Gneigen, “put themselves in an accort with the masters Jacobus and Steffen Matthias Mauritzius, so that the two undersigned masters should make a fire mockery in the same way the sleeve. (...). “In 1838 one of the three syringes available at the time in the St. Hubert mayor's office was already housed in a syringe house at the Hannerhof.

At first glance, the buildings for their sheltered accommodation resembled contemporary holy houses, but are e.g. B. to be distinguished from these by the larger gates for retracting and extending the syringes. In the immediate vicinity, a syringe house from the 18th century (1772) is still preserved in the court of Kehn (today: Tönisvorst) and is protected as a monument; another from Voesch (1779) is now in the Lower Rhine Open-Air Museum in Grefrath. Just like these, the basically well-preserved little house at Hannershof documents a major development in early fire extinguishing, and at the same time an important community-building infrastructure facility of past centuries. This results in local historical and folkloric importance. As a testimony to the rural fire fighting in the Orbroich district, the syringe house at Hennershof in St. Hubert is important for Kempen. There is a public interest in its preservation and use for scientific, here local history and folklore reasons. It is therefore a monument in accordance with Section 2 (1) Monument Protection Act.

map
In the closed row development on Hülser Straße, the property shows itself as a two-sided development of a gate entrance: on the right a single-storey two-axis office building and on the left a two-storey warehouse or mill building that extends into the depths of the property up to a three-storey building on Moorenringgasse. Towards the Moorenringgasse there was still a six-storey silo building with a hipped roof until mid-93, which has since been demolished. The buildings are built in dark red-brown goat stone masonry and are characterized by the vertical lintels on the street side and the ornamental friezes and arched friezes in yellowish brick. Another distinctive element are the segmental arched gables with parapet cornices, which are placed in front of the flat sloping roofs glued on with roofing felt. The upright brick gable decorations in the center and at the corners of the gable of the building behind are particularly outstanding. In the three-storey part, the original small steel windows have been preserved, they have a lasting impact on the building. The Schumacher mill was founded in 1875 by Martin Schumacher as a fruit and feed trade. In 1914 the Schumacher and Witthoff company, in the "grinding mill and the power feed factory" employed nine people. Today, the fourth and fifth generation of the successors run the company in the new company premises "Am Selder". At the end of the 19th century, Hülser Strasse documents the emergence and growth of industrialization in the city of Kempen. The proximity to the railways, which from 1863 onwards connected Kempen with Krefeld and Kleve, prompted other companies to set up shop on Hülser Strasse in addition to the mill operations. As shown, the mill at Hülser Strasse 5 is important for the development of working and production conditions in the city of Kempen. For architectural and urban planning reasons, preservation and use are in the public interest due to the exemplary character of the commercial complex integrated into the street space with its design forms typical of industrial architecture. 1875 Dec 21, 1993 246

In the emerging culture war they wanted to set a sign of their faithfulness and express their attachment to the Catholic Church in accordance with the resolutions of the First Vatican Council (1870–1871). The house of God was to be built in honor of Our Lady, the Comforter of the afflicted and the help of Christians. That is why this little church was first called "Maria-Hilf-Kapelle".

Hail cross Hail cross Kempen
Kerkener Strasse / Terwelpstrasse
map
In the past centuries, many hail crosses were counted on the Lower Rhine. They were mostly built on paths or crossings in the field and were intended to protect against storms, especially hailstorms. The beginnings of the Kempen Hagelkreuz are unknown. Terwelp and Klöckner report that the Kempen Hagelkreuz - similar to the Kreuzkapelle and St. Peter - was a burial place for the non-Catholic soldiers. From 1642 to 1649 many Hessians, most of whom were Protestant, were buried here. Even during the French era, soldiers who died in the hospital (Franciscan monastery) were buried at the Hagelkreuz. The older crosses at this point were very likely made of wood. The present stone cross was erected in 1853. The slightly curved body hangs on the cross with feet nailed one on top of the other and with arms stretched out and spread out. Christ wears the loincloth knotted on the right side. A narrow crown of thorns is fastened over his curly beard and hair. The gaze of the crucified one goes heavenwards. 1853 Apr 28, 1988 122

Marienheim Marienheim St. Hubert
Kirchplatz 2
map
The building is a simple, thirteen-axis brick building with a medium pitched gable roof with a crippled hip formation. Three window axes are bricked up on the east side. The three central axes of the building are slightly projected and emphasized by pilasters. A classical gable field, which is missing today, was originally formed over these three axes.

The inside of the building is largely changed. The roof structure is original. In connection with the neighboring church, the building has a special meaning in the ensemble.

The Marienheim is the building of the oldest school in St. Hubert, the office, Marienheim der kath. Parish and the first cath. Kindergarten in St. Hubert.

In 1762 a new school was built in St. Hubert, which stood in front of today's Marienheim directly on the main street. It consisted of a teacher's apartment and a classroom. As the number of schoolchildren grew over the years, the enlarged classroom also became too small. In 1833 the foundation stone was laid for a new classroom in the old school's garden. This new classroom is part of today's Marienheim. In 1855 the St. Hubert School was expanded again with an extension. It has the size of today's Marienheim and from then on was three-class. After the expansion, the school was also used as an office. After the move of the cath. Primary school in 1907 in the new building on Hohenzollernplatz, the old school was bought by the community for the parish of St. Hubert in 1908. The house was named Marienheim and has been used by church associations and institutions from now on until today. The first kindergarten (child care school) in St. Hubert was housed in the rear part of the Marienheim from 1917 until 1965. The preservation of the building is in the public interest for architectural, urban planning and local historical reasons.

The house from 1913 has three floors (including the attic) and two axes. The arched entrance steps back, the half-sided parapet cites the baluster motif. Above the arch of the entrance and above the arched window on the right-hand axis, a corbel connects to the upper floor. On the upper floor there are three pilasters, the stylized capitals of which visually support the cornice. A balcony with an ornamental grille parapet extends across the width of the window area. The mansard roof presents itself with a two-tier, tiled roof house. The windows still have the old fittings. The stairwell, interior doors and tiles are still original. In its architectural design (entrance area, roof zone, representative representation of the 1st floor), the building is a particularly outstanding, significant and in the public interest example of upper-class development in eastern urban expansion areas at the beginning of the century. 1913 June 21, 1994 247

Former weaver house Former weaver house St. Hubert

map
The single-storey eaves-standing brick building with a gable roof connects directly to a neighboring building on the left on a rectangular base, while the right gable is free. It also has a low brick shed with a gable roof, which is parallel to the front building and separated from it by a small courtyard. At the side, a wall with a passage closes the property off from the path leading by. Through the shed, past an old toilet, you reach a kitchen garden that also belongs to the house.

The front building, unplastered above a small base on both sides, has a large shop window, probably from the 1960s, facing the street to the left of the entrance. Furthermore, single-pane windows have probably been inserted into the existing window openings at the same time; In the attic of the gable there are still old grooved double-leaf windows. Otherwise, the simple appearance largely corresponds to the historical building type. In addition to the undeveloped roof, the characteristic distribution of the upright rectangular window openings should be mentioned here (two to the right of the entrance, four plus two in the gable, one on the ground floor added), which also suggests sufficient light from the side for the front right former weaving room offered. The back of the house and the front of the shed facing the house are thinly grouted, while the outside of the shed is also brick-transparent.

Inside the house, the floor plan and, in some cases, the room appearance from the 19th century have largely been preserved. A hallway leads straight from the entrance to a back exit. In the front right there is a large room which, despite a subsequent but reversible subdivision, is recognizable as the former weaving room. Behind him, on the garden side, is the kitchen. To the left of the corridor, a street-side smaller room, then a staircase or basement exit and - above the small basement room - a raised (bedroom) room as an op-camera are arranged one behind the other. In addition to the transverse corridor and the characteristic, functionally determined arrangement of the rooms with a central chimney, frame panel doors (partly windowed), floorboards, the wooden staircase construction and the room layouts are to be regarded as defining historical room and equipment details. Further chambers are housed in the attic.

The shape and interior room layout support the oral local tradition that the building was a former weaver's house from the middle of the 19th century.

In his story of St. Hubert's, F. Weinforth deals in detail with the nature and significance of (silk) house weaving for the place. Promoted in particular by the nearby Krefeld, this branch of business operated in the publishing industry (i.e. the housewives were not self-employed craftsmen, but dependent wage workers) developed into the second important pillar of the St. Hubert economy in the middle of the 19th century, before the factory-like industrialization against the At the turn of the century, home work was displaced. The typical weaver houses that were built for this purpose developed, due to their frequency, in many places in the region, including St. Hubert, a defining effect on the townscape, mostly in growth areas on streets leading out of the old settlement centers - or around them. The building type developed was characterized by its one or one-and-a-half-story structure and a relatively generously lighted weaving room on the gable end. A straight corridor opens up the interior across the back, there are stairs and kitchen, opposite the weaving room to the front is a living room. Sleeping chambers were mostly arranged in the roof. In principle, this division resulting from the function is clearly preserved in the present example, even if the floor plan was originally slightly varied in detail.

The typical weaver's houses, mostly built around the middle and third quarter of the 19th century, can be described as a landscape and production-specific form of early workers' housing. Clear structural evidence of this type, d. H. Buildings largely free of modernization or expansion and with the typical floor plan of the interior have become rare in the region today. Despite individual changes in detail, of which only the front shop window has to be described as defaced, the present St. Hubert example can be seen as an unusually good testimony to this type of building and thus to simple living and working from the middle or second half of the 19th century. Century. It is precisely these inconspicuous buildings, whose simplicity is just as typical as they are endangered by modern overuse, that require protection through monument preservation in order to preserve them as evidence of local and social history. As a clear testimony to a house shape that was once typical for St. Hubert (Kempen), the room layout of which reflects the old work processes, the residential building at Königstraße 48 is significant for Kempen. There is a public interest in the preservation and use of the house, shed and the associated courtyard and garden spaces for the scientific reasons presented, in particular for local and social historical reasons

At the end of the 19th century, Gut Heimendahl had its own water supply with its own water tower. Around this tower, a partly two-storey, partly single-storey facility, divided into three structures, was built, which served as a horse stable. The facade is made of brick masonry, set off in two colors (red and yellow). The roofs were partly designed as saddle roofs, partly hipped. To the east of the building with the water tower described above is a stable building, which was also made of two-tone brickwork. In the middle rises a tower-like central building, which is provided with two side wings of equal length. The facades are regularly divided into six axes by stable windows and stable doors, which are now partially bricked up.

The two-storey, two-axle residential building from the late 19th century is supported by a slightly protruding base. The arched door walls with an ornamental stucco decoration show animal motifs in four cassettes on each side. The window walls are profiled and equipped with a block frieze over the lintel. The left axis on the first floor is emphasized by a bay architecture. A Brock gable is hidden in front of the saddle roof, with a block frieze, four rectangular and one oval windows. The building is used as a residential building. The historic door, which has been preserved on many of the houses on this street, has been replaced by a current door. The small-scale structure of the window subdivision is still original. The subdivision of the floor plan also largely corresponds to the original. The stairwell is outstanding in its design based on Art Deco motifs. A special feature on the ground floor is a tiled stove that can be charged on the corridor side to heat two rooms at the same time. As described, the building is largely unchanged. It is thus in a special way an example of representative development in large areas of Kurfürstenstrasse that is worth preserving.

The facade is structured horizontally by a triple cornice with stucco cartouches. On the first floor, the profiled window walls close up in two capitals with segmental arches. The cornice is equipped with volutes. The historic door leaf with window and decorative grating is still there, but the windows have been given a new wooden frame. Inside, the tiles in the kitchen and the floor tiles in the hallway and kitchen are original. The hallway and staircase have richly designed wooden paneling from 1908. Some of the stucco ceilings have been preserved.

In its consistently good state of preservation both inside and out - here in particular the very individual woodwork in the stairwell area - the house in the already representative Kurfürstenstraße is important in terms of urban development and architecture and worth preserving in the public interest.

The multi-family residential building built in 1930/31 by the architect Hans Toboll consists of a cubic structure with a flat roof. The building has been designed according to the design principles of the Bauhaus style. In terms of construction, the building is a steel frame structure, the brick facade of which is curtained and has no load-bearing function. The four retracted roof terraces on the upper floor, which existed in the original state of construction, cause a differentiation of the building mass, which softened the bulk of the cubic basic shape. The most important architectural design elements are clear, rectangular areas free of any ornamentation. As a consequence, narrow steel profiles were used for the windowing, which emphasize the flat character of the window openings. The Bauhaus-style front door of the eastern part of the building is still preserved. Inside, the sequence of rooms and the equipment details such as corridor lighting and door fittings in the eastern part of the building, which has largely remained original, characterize the monument.

The vestibule built in the western part and the like are excluded from the protection. the two garages built on the property.

Residential building of the Arnold settlement Residential building of the Arnold settlement Kempen
Oedter Strasse 1
map
The iron furniture manufacturers Louis and Carl Arnold from Schorndorf near Württemberg settled in Kempen in the spring of 1901. At the same time as the construction work on the factory premises in today's Arnoldstrasse, the construction of the company housing estate began. The Düsseldorf architect H. Salzmann was entrusted with the planning and implementation in both cases.

The "Württemberg settlement"; also popularly called "Schwabenheim", contributed significantly to the economic and social enrichment of Kempen, so that the "Volksfreund" wrote in its edition of August 24, 1901:

"The workers' houses built by the Arnold company on Peschbenden are the purest villas and enliven the area in a pleasant way." In fact, the Arnold company apartments are luxurious for the living conditions of the time and reformist due to their socially responsible design. The six two-story houses each provided space for four families. The apartments were bright and spacious and already had separate living rooms and bedrooms, a kitchen and a pantry, which at the time was not a matter of course, but rather an exception. The attic was also developed for residential purposes. A small garden was attached to the spacious courtyard for each living party, which could be cultivated as required - a circumstance that was particularly suitable for families with many children.

Progress can also be seen in the visual appearance of the settlement. The uniform design and the balanced proportions give the houses a clear, manageable line.

The traditional tripartite division of the facade into the base, middle and attic is striking. The basement, on which the two lower apartments are located, was left in the red brick masonry. Above this is white plaster, which extends over the middle floor to under the so-called hipped roof. In the middle of the roof is a dormer, a small roofed extension in which the attic windows are housed. The facade is visually enlivened by brick-red horizontal and vertical structures. The verticals correspond to the columns of the ancient temple building, which is often quoted in architecture.

The iron furniture manufacturers Louis and Carl Arnold from Schorndorf near Württemberg settled in Kempen in the spring of 1901. At the same time as the construction work on the factory premises in today's Arnoldstrasse, the construction of the company housing estate began. The Düsseldorf architect H. Salzmann was entrusted with the planning and implementation in both cases.

The "Württemberg settlement"; also popularly called "Schwabenheim", contributed significantly to the economic and social enrichment of Kempen, so that the "Volksfreund" wrote in its edition of August 24, 1901:

"The workers' houses built by the Arnold company on Peschbenden are the purest villas and enliven the area in a pleasant way." In fact, the Arnold company apartments are luxurious for the living conditions of the time and reformist due to their socially responsible design. The six two-story houses each provided space for four families. The apartments were bright and spacious and already had separate living rooms and bedrooms, a kitchen and a pantry, which at the time was not a matter of course, but rather an exception. The attic was also developed for residential purposes. A small garden was attached to the spacious courtyard for each living party, which could be cultivated as required - a circumstance that was particularly suitable for families with many children.

Progress can also be seen in the visual appearance of the settlement. The uniform design and the balanced proportions give the houses a clear, manageable line.

The central entrance area is emphasized in the basement by a blinded, arcade-like pseudo-architecture, which is continued on the upper floor in the form of pilasters around which the cornices curl. In the basement, the windows are surrounded by a plaster frame and emphasized by decorative ornaments. The central axis is widened, with a window with set pillars on the upper floor. This window closes with a segment arc. The 3-axis entrance zone is closed off by a triangular gable with a segment window. A block frieze runs up the gable. The framing of the windows is striking and original. The door leaf is old. The preservation of the courtyard is in the public interest for reasons of local history and folklore.

Description of the Heimatverein Tönisberg:

Derick Michels is already mentioned in the church accounting book of 1730 as the owner of the farm and smithy. The courtyard is a four-winged brick courtyard. The adjoining house is from 1845. The builder is the mayor Wilhelm Brackelmanns.

According to the inscription, the Mennikes sanctuary was built in 1664 by Derich Mennikes and Sibilla.

In 1900, as a further inscription attests, the sanctuary was plastered and supplemented in the neo-Gothic style. The Mennikes-Heiligenhäuschen is one of the oldest of its kind in the Kempen area.

The two-storey building is divided vertically into three axes. The central axis is a risalit with a stepped gable and elaborate stucco decoration. The window and door are equipped with profiled walls, with the central window on the ground floor forming a round arch and framed by stylized stucco pilasters. The ground floor has a plaster block. On the first floor, the character of the facade is determined by the red clinker stone. There are stucco cassettes below the windows. The middle window has a stone cross. An Art Nouveau frieze runs between the window area and the main cornice. The saddle roof has two dormers from the time it was built. The antique gable bears the year 1909. The windows on the ground floor, among others, are richly designed and divided into small pieces in the skylights. The layout is still original. Most of the old doors and floorboards have been preserved.

In its representative character, the building is in architectural and urban planning terms an example of urban development between the old town area and the train station that is particularly worth preserving.

map
The house at Siegfriedstrasse 14 is part of a closed row of two- to three-storey residential buildings, of which the neighboring buildings no. 12-18 in particular still give a very clear impression of the original era of the street around 1909. Nos. 14 and 16 are a double house with mirror symmetry in the view, built in 1909-10 by the building contractor Jakob Pegels.

The plastered facade is divided into three floors with non-continuous window axes. A dwarf-like pointed gable breaks through the eaves line above the left half. The ground floor is characterized by ashlar plaster above the plinth and contains the slightly blended entrance in the left axis and raised over two steps. The remaining area is taken up by a single, four-part window of the living room behind, closed with a basket arch. Below the window, two rectangular cartouche fields adorn the parapet, small ornamented wedge stones emphasize the lintels of the house entrance and arched windows. A striking feature of the upper floor is a bay window, broken on three sides, which runs like a funnel between the door and the ground floor window and is covered with a curved roof. A flag holder adorns the parapet of its front, upright rectangular window. To the right of the bay window, another window opens on the first floor, which has flat bands as an accent as a storey, sill and battlement cornice. On the top floor, on the right, an exit nested under a flat basket arch steps flat in front of the front. To the left of it, above the bay, two narrow, vertical rectangular windows lead over to the pointed gable, which is adorned with an oculus cover. On the simply plastered back, the house shares a two-storey wing attached to it at right angles with its counterpart (No. 16). Inside, with a completely preserved floor plan, you first enter a hallway leading down into the depths, which in its rear part contains the one-way straight up, also original wooden staircase. The stairwell is illuminated through a simple ceiling window. There are old z. Doors with windows with the corresponding, slightly drilled frames have been preserved in some cases, also as double or sliding doors between the two living rooms on the ground floor or the two street-facing rooms on the upper floor, of which the bay room also shows some stucco ceilings from the construction period. The house has a full basement.

The area northeast of the castle and outside the Ringstrasse was opened up after 1890 and is known as the “Elector Quarter” based on the street name. Siegfriedstrasse, named after the Archbishop of Cologne Siegfried von Westerburg (died 1297), represents the straight connection between Kerkener Strasse and Kleinbahnstrasse. The administrative report for the years 1898 to 1909, p. 233f: “Um To develop new building land, the district of Geldern expanded part of the projected road leading from Kleinbahnstrasse to Aldekerkerstrasse to the green path (90 meters long) in accordance with the local statutory provisions in 1905 at its own expense. The city took ownership of the street and on January 20, 1906, the city council declared the part of the street, in accordance with the local statute of April 27, 1882, with the approval of the mayor, as ready for public transport and cultivation. On August 28, 1906, the city council gave the new street the name 'Siegfriedstraße'. The northern side of the completed part of the street is almost completely built up. ”On Siegfriedstrasse, among other things, the Ferd chromolithographic art institution, which was important at the time, was located.

The street is in its eastern area up to the confluence of von-Loe-Straße because of the still original closedness of its historical development part of the monument area no.2 (city extension Ringstraße and adjacent areas)

The house draws its special value on the one hand from belonging to a closed ensemble of similar buildings. On the other hand, it is part of a well-preserved semi-detached house, of which the other half of the house (number 16) is already entered in the list of monuments. Although it has undergone some changes to the equipment details, together with the other half of the house it still represents a coherent and clear testimony to a typical urban row house from the urban development phase around 1910. It is therefore important for Kempen. There is a public interest in its preservation and use for the stated scientific, in particular architectural-historical and urban planning reasons. According to § 2 (1) Monument Protection Act, it is therefore an architectural monument.

Nos. 14 and 16 are a semi-detached house with mirror symmetry in the view, built in 1909-10 by the building contractor Jakob Pegels.

The plastered facade is divided into three floors with non-continuous window axes. A dormitory-like pointed gable breaks through the eaves line above the right half. The ground floor is characterized by ashlar plaster above the base and contains the entrance, which is slightly blended in and raised over two steps, in the right axis. The remaining area is taken up by a single, four-part window of the living room behind, closed with a basket arch. Below the window, two rectangular cartouche fields adorn the parapet, small ornamented wedge stones emphasize the lintels of the house entrance and arched windows.

The most striking feature of the upper floor is a bay window, broken on three sides, which runs like a funnel between the door and the ground floor window and is covered with a curved roof. A flag holder adorns the parapet of its front, upright rectangular window. To the left of the bay window, another upper floor opens up, which has flat banding as an accent as a floor, sill and mullion cornice. On the top floor, on the left, an exit nested under a flat basket arch steps flat in front of the front. To the right of it, above the bay, two narrow, vertical rectangular windows lead over to the pointed gable, which is adorned with an oculus panel.

On the simple plastered rear, the house shares a two-storey wing attached to it at right angles with its counterpart (No. 14). Through the original front door with a raised skylight one enters a deep corridor, which in its rear part contains the original wooden staircase leading straight upwards. The ceiling of the entrance hall and the passage to the stairwell are stuccoed with a central rosette or belt on volute consoles. A remarkable piece of fixed equipment from the time of the builder is a tiled stove in the living room that is fired from the hallway. In the entire house are old, z. Some of the doors were windowed through with the corresponding, slightly drilled frames. On the upper floor there is an original three-part window as a box window with interior shutters facing the garden.

The house has a full basement. In the basement, some colorfully arranged ornamental tiles are embedded in the floor, and it also contains an air raid shelter with numerous air raid doors.

The area northeast of the castle and outside the Ringstrasse was opened up after 1890 and is known as the “Elector Quarter” based on the street name.

The house is a clearly preserved testimony of a typical urban terraced house from the urban expansion phase around 1910. It derives its special value on the one hand from the fact that it belongs to a small ensemble of similar buildings, and on the other from the considerable number of interior equipment details that have been preserved give an impression of the home decor of that time.

Peschkeshof Peschkeshof Kempen
St. Peter 70
card
So far, no further information has been found about the history of the farm. At the beginning of the 19th century, a “Kimmerhof” is shown on the Tranchot map at this point, as a large, moated courtyard with a total of four buildings. However, the family name "Kimmen" is already documented for St. Peter, at least in the 17th century. In 1880 the farm appears in the files as "Thoerenhof, belonging to Mr. Peschkens". Today the farm is generally known as the "Peschkeshof".

Today's buildings are apparently mostly from the end of the 19th century, with the inclusion of older parts.

The farm is located directly on an old road from Kempen to St. Tönis. It is part of the court of St. Peter, around the oldest parish church in the Kempen region, which is believed to have originated in the 9th century.

It is a closed brick courtyard complex, consisting of a gatehouse with a passage along the street, a barn and stable wing connected to the side and rear at right angles and a residential building with a stable wing in the manner of a T-house (possibly even older?). Next to the courtyard there is another single-storey single building with a tent roof, according to the owner, possibly formerly part of a bowling alley, as a restaurant used to be located in the courtyard.

The residential part is two-storey with a gable roof, facing the street at the gable, but slightly set back from it behind a front garden. In front of it, as an extension of the gatehouse, a fence made of brick pillars with lancet grating delimits the property from the street.

The house, in 5: 3 axes, has a flat pilaster strip cornice structure typical of the time, with clearly accentuated eaves cornice. The corners and ridge of the gable including a triangular central gable on the five-axis long side are emphasized by superstructures. The upright rectangular segmental arched wall openings are simply cut into the wall, the windows on the long side are partially designed as panels.

The house entrance is in the right axis of the street-side gable side, the original two-winged entrance door with skylight has been preserved, as are characteristic details of the interior fittings (e.g. decorative tiles, stairs; the interior was not visited during the above-mentioned on-site visit). The windows are renewed.

Recently, a balcony and window door have been added to the rear of the house.

The adjoining stable wing, the high roof of which is at ridge height of the two-storey residential building and optically ends in the gable of the dwelling, is also windowed through in smaller formats on the long and gable sides and opened to the courtyard through a segment-arched gate. At the rear there is a modern roof window extension below the ridge.

The barn and gatehouse, although single-storey, have almost the same height as the ridge of the residential building, so that the overall impression is stately. Their brick wall surfaces are essentially open without any special decoration and at most in small parts (the gatehouse with lined windows facing the street), so that the character of a farm building or gatehouse is legible. The inner wooden structure with ladders has been preserved in the barn. The rear stables are kept lower.

At the edge of the courtyard, the old trenches can still be seen to some extent.

Rating:

The Peschkeshof, St. Peter 70 in Kempen is still very vividly a courtyard complex from the late 9th century in terms of substance and appearance. The changes in the rear area mentioned are assessed as unfortunate in terms of design, but not decisive in the overall stock. Located directly on the street and from a distance on all sides, the courtyard is a defining part of the Hofschaft near St. Peter, which is a well-preserved and attractive section of the cultural landscape. It is therefore important for Kempen. As a clear testimony to the farm architecture of the late 19th century and the history of the settlement at a historically significant location in the Kempen region, there is a public interest in the preservation and use of the farm for scientific reasons, in this case architectural and settlement history. It is therefore an architectural monument according to §2 Monument Protection Act NW.

The building is the former school for the deaf and mute. It is two-storey and 8-axis in dark red brick, the base area is plastered. The 4 axes on the left represent the original building from 1841. The third axis from the left is crowned by a slightly curved triangular gable. The right 4 axes were added in the same style in 1910, 2 axes are crowned by a stepped gable. There are new skylights in the saddle roof. The brick building gets its facade design from corner pilasters on the upper floor and circular segment arches or friezes in the gable and a stone frieze in the eaves area. On the upper floor, the windows are surrounded by friezes up to the height of the transom, alternating between two windows and then framing a single one. The former gymnasium at the rear of the property, also from the 19th century, belongs to the building. Originally it was built with 5 axles, but in 1910 it was extended by 3 axles on the right. When it was converted into rental apartments in 1985, the building's facade only underwent minor changes, the skylights and the door in the third axis from the right, which was bricked up to window height. Wooden loggias were added to the rear of the building. The original 4-axis building was previously designed symmetrically at the front and back. In 1910 a skylight was built into the roof at the back. The interior underwent changes in both 1910 and 1985 with partition walls. In 1985, a new beamed ceiling was drawn in in the attic and a new staircase was installed. 1841 May 25, 1993 242

Former municipal operations office Former municipal operations office Kempen
Thomasstrasse 1
map
Architect: Städt. Kempen building authority

The former municipal operations office of the city of Kempen is located east of the old town center, at the beginning of Thomasstraße directly at the train station (today in monument area 2, Ringstraße and adjacent areas). Unlike the others, in terms of their alignment with older buildings on the side of the street, it lies a little back behind a small open green area, which widens the corner to the station forecourt.

The underlying design drawings from the Kempen municipal building authority are dated July 1926. A photo published in 1928 shows the completed building. The construction files contain various preliminary studies, including those that provided for another new building to the right of the archway to the depot, which should probably belong to the works office.

Exterior construction

It is a two-storey brick building with a stone base and a high, slated hipped roof. The facade has four centrally concentrated window axes that are flanked by flat corner projections. In each of the corner projections there is an entrance with a wooden entrance door with a small, ornamentally designed viewing window (lying square and rhombus, penetrating each other). A triangular gable covers the doors in a classical way; the wall surface above is kept without openings. Windows and bags have stone walls. The four window axes are vertically connected to one another by the parapet fields in between with an ornamental brick arrangement; the original cross-frame windows have been preserved. Small basement windows still have their original grilles consisting of a cross with a central star. Above the windows of the upper floor there is the inscription STÄDTISCHES BETRIEBSAMT in large gold-colored (metal?) Single letters.

Towards the roof, the entrance projections and the raised central building are closed off with a strong cornice. The steep slate roof is structured by four dormers, which correspond to the window axes below, and three more triangular openings above.

On the right is an arched passage to the former depot (now a public parking lot), the shape and material (brick) of the main building. It is part of the architectural monument.

The narrow and rear sides are designed in a corresponding manner. The narrow sides each have three window axes. The rear side has five windows instead of the corner projections on the ground floor and a rear exit (on the side), and four central windows on the upper floor, which form regular axes with those below. Furthermore, on the upper floor there is a more recent exit in front of a French window that was broken in for this purpose. Both the side and the rear roof surfaces, like the front, are covered with dormer windows and triangular openings.

inside rooms

Since the exterior of the plan drawing from July 1926 corresponds to the existing building stock, it can be assumed that the interior layout shown there was also carried out in the same way. This is important because the use of each room has changed over time; the basic floor plan and room structure remained unchanged.

While the left entrance with the stairwell behind it served for internal access, the right entrance was probably the public entrance. It only leads over a few steps to the slightly elevated ground floor, in which there was a central accounting and cash desk “hall”. In front of that, a smaller room served as a "switch" according to the plan drawing; The aforementioned public entrance leads to him through a double-winged door. The two rooms at the front are designated as "Exhibition" and "Director" in the plan. What is also striking about the floor plan of the ground floor is that no hallway opens up rooms, but that these are connected directly next to or behind one another, or that the internal area of ​​the ticket hall serves as a distributor. This is done differently on the upper floor, where a middle hallway serves the rooms on both sides. According to the plan drawing, there was originally an apartment here, later offices were set up here. The staircase with the original, straight opposite staircase opens again with a double-leaf door with glass inserts and a skylight to this corridor. A middle room on the upper floor is accessed through a large sliding door.

Monument value

As the former municipal works office (administration building of the municipal utilities), the building at Thomasstrasse 1 is important for Kempen, as it housed an essential part of a central infrastructure facility in the city for about seven decades, which testifies to modern municipal administration and public services.

It is an example of traditionalist building from the twenties that has largely been preserved in its original form, as it was often maintained by public building authorities. Above all, the brick was intended to create a "landscape connection", which, however, is linked to modern, functional building forms. Individual details and decorative elements (window grilles, doors) have hints of expressionist forms typical of the time, but the gables above the entrances and the strong cornice underline the rather strict basic attitude of the building. This going back to a classicistic - Biedermeier austerity and simplicity is characteristic of this architectural trend ("Around 1800" was the name of a book that was widespread at the time and had an exemplary effect). The function of the large roof with its structuring dormers and openings is just as characteristic.

How widespread this style was among local architects is equally common among public building authorities and independent architects, as shown by the publication mentioned below on contemporary building activity in the Kempen district, within which the municipal works office was also presented as an exemplary new building.

Since it is a characteristic example of an important architectural movement of the twenties that has largely been preserved in its original form, there is a public interest in its preservation and use for scientific, especially architectural-historical reasons. As a testimony to the city's own building activities and as a longstanding administrative building of an institution such as the Stadtwerke that is important for the modern urban community, there is also a public interest in preservation and use for reasons of local history. The deliberate design of the striking urban situation of the building site through the widening of the corner of Thomasstrasse 1 / Am Bahnhof, which is typical of the time ("light, air, sun"), finally gives the building a special dimension in terms of town planning and urban planning. It thus stands for a further time level in the structural development of Kempen, which in the case of the Ringstrasse and the side streets and arterial roads that flow into it (including Thomasstrasse) is actually still characterized by older urban structures from the 19th century. The former municipal works office of the city of Kempen, Thomasstrasse 1, is important for Kempen. There is a public interest in its preservation and use for scientific, in particular architectural, site and urban planning as well as for urban planning reasons.

The 2-storey, 2-axis residential building was built around 1900. The plastered facade has a simple but clear structure. They are divided horizontally by profiled bands, a combat cornice on the ground floor and highlighted plastering fields and garland-like bands as well as ornamental fields above the window openings. A new, extra-wide dormer sits on the gable roof, standing on the eaves. The door leaf and the window frames are still original. The windows are divided into small pieces in the skylight area by bars. The windows of the left axis are divided into three verticals. The central posts have rich wood decor. The original stucco decor has been preserved in the ground floor rooms. The stairs, floors, tiles and the windows to the rear are also original.

With its outstanding architectural design in the overall line of Vorster Strasse, the building is significant in terms of urban history, so that preservation for urban planning and architectural reasons is in the public interest. It is an object with particular informative value about the structural development of Kempen in the course of the construction of Radialstrasse after the turn of the century.

Arnold-Siedlung residential building Arnold-Siedlung residential building Kempen
Vorster Strasse 80 & 82
map
The iron furniture manufacturers Louis and Carl Arnold from Schorndorf near Württemberg settled in Kempen in the spring of 1901. At the same time as the construction work on the factory premises in today's Arnoldstrasse, the construction of the company housing estate began. The Düsseldorf architect H. Salzmann was entrusted with the planning and implementation in both cases.

The "Württemberg settlement"; also popularly called "Schwabenheim", contributed significantly to the economic and social enrichment of Kempen, so that the "Volksfreund" wrote in its edition of August 24, 1901:

"The workers' houses built by the Arnold company on Peschbenden are the purest villas and enliven the area in a pleasant way." In fact, the Arnold company apartments are luxurious for the living conditions of the time and reformist due to their socially responsible design. The six two-story houses each provided space for four families. The apartments were bright and spacious and already had separate living rooms and bedrooms, a kitchen and a pantry, which at the time was not a matter of course, but rather an exception. The attic was also developed for residential purposes. A small garden was attached to the spacious courtyard for each living party, which could be cultivated as required - a circumstance that was particularly suitable for families with many children.

Progress can also be seen in the visual appearance of the settlement. The uniform design and the balanced proportions give the houses a clear, manageable line. Appropriateness is the overriding principle, so that the rudimentary jewelry, which is still based on classic models, is no longer sculpted, but is only contrasted in color as an incrustation. The traditional tripartite division of the facade into the base, middle and attic is striking. The basement, on which the two lower apartments are located, was left in the red brick masonry. Above this is white plaster, which extends over the middle floor to under the so-called hipped roof. In the middle of the roof is a dormer, a small roofed extension in which the attic windows are housed. The facade is visually enlivened by brick-red horizontal and vertical structures. The verticals correspond to the columns of the ancient temple building, which is often quoted in architecture. The horizontal line, which surrounds the building like a cornice, marks the second floor. The windows close in a round arch, a shape that goes back to the Renaissance. The motif of the round arch is taken up again by the red brick frame over the windows. The Württemberg settlement as a witness of industrialization is part of the Kempen city history that needs to be preserved and preserved. Preservation is in the public interest.

As early as 1906, the company building with a warehouse was built on the property. This was a massive building with a basement and a shed roof. In 1912 the house was built in the foreground of the property. The building is two-story, built in 4 axes and with a slated mansard roof with 3 curved dormers. The facade design is striking, with an interesting tension between the symmetrical ornament design and the asymmetrical structure, which comes about because the porch is shifted to the right from the center. This property is the only villa with Neo-Rococo forms in Kempen. The emphasized axis is wider and delimited by pilaster strips. The wreath and garland ornamentation of the facade decoration is striking and the emphasized axis is completed with a segmented gable. In the eaves area there is a cornice supported by consoles. The condition of the facade is medium. The building, including the wrought iron enclosure, is entered as a monument in the list of monuments. 1912 May 25, 1993 245


Anthony's Chapel Anthony's Chapel Tönisberg
Windmühlenweg
map
The Antonius Chapel, originally “Cobbers-Heiligenhäuschen”, is located on Windmühlenweg on the Mühlenberg, after a farm near Haag, which is mentioned as a ruin as early as the 17th century. The old wall core of the chapel probably dates from the 18th century, the pillar porch, also made of field fire bricks, is more recent. Four stone steps lead to the paved floor and the vestibule open on three sides by arches. A bell tower, standing on four pillars and opened on four sides by arches, rises above it. The roof of the chapel and vestibule is tiled. In the chapel there is a brick altar table with the inscription on the upper edge: Stanton (1) oral pro nobis. The relief made in 1972 by Anneliese Langenbach shows the small. Hermit Antonius in religious costume.

Description of the Heimatverein Tönisberg:

The former Cobbers holy house probably dates from the 17th century. It was built by the owners of the farm of the same name (Haag) at the fork in the road where the old road from Cöln to Nijmegen crossed a village path over the mountain to Cobbershof. Around 1845, Chausseestrasse was moved to the bottom of the valley. The vestibule dates from the 19th century. In 1935, Lorenz Hermes from Tönisberg replaced the facility with a clay relief of St. Antonius (monk's father). From then on the little holy house was only called Antoniuskapelle.

Post mill, wooden mill body on a bogie, originally from 1802, renewed several times.

Description of the Heimatverein Tönisberg:

In 1802 the mill was built with two grinding courses. The first tenant was Anton Schouten. The last tenant, Carl Rögel, worked with the mill until 1913. It was badly damaged in the Second World War, and in 1949 its restoration was celebrated with a festival. In 1970 the mill was completely dismantled by mill builder J. Vosdellen and re-erected in 1973. The Tönisbergers celebrated this with the 2nd mill festival. Today the Heimatverein Tönisberg eV regularly opens the mill for visitors on Whit Monday.

The Weibeshof was built in 1772, as evidenced by the wall anchors of the house and the keystone of the archway. The two-wing courtyard building, which was laid out on two floors in eleven axes with a gate entrance in the middle, is still almost completely preserved today. The barn to the west, which was built in half-timbered construction, belongs to the courtyard building.

The protection is placed with the exception of the newly built garage building in the south.
