	Courtyard	Oestrich Oestricher Strasse 16 map	Dating: core around 1800 / facade around 1900. 2-storey four-axle house with a basket arched passage on the left. The preservation of the above There is a public interest as per Section 2 (1) DSCHG for scientific reasons relating to the history of the settlement and architecture. The former courtyard complex Oestricher Straße 16 in Erkelenz is now located within the city extension of Erkelenz. In the past, however, it was part of a formerly independent village of Oestrich, which, along with Erkelenz itself, can be seen as the second core settlement of the (narrower) Erkelenzer Land as early as the early Middle Ages. The core of the existing buildings is likely to date back to around 1800. The street-side facade was redesigned in 1900. The two-storey four-axle residential building with a basket arched passage on the left stands on a rectangular base behind a narrow front garden facing the street. A gently sloping gable roof covers both parts, as does the historicist brick plaster facade. On the right there is another neighboring building, which is typologically similar. The window axes of the residential building are emphasized vertically by light-colored plaster strips that include the walls and roofs of the windows and that contain decorations in the parapet fields. Square and rusticated plaster strips have been applied to the building edges and the passage. The broad positioning of the structure is thus contrasted by the vertical structure of the facade. The upright rectangular windows have the typical T-division. A small single-storey utility wing is attached to the rear of the house. The half-timbering visible in the passage on the left gable side of the house is remarkable; the half-timbered construction is also likely to have been largely preserved inside. The interior is transversely closed with a corridor leading through to the rear and stairs at right angles to it. Ornate floor tiles have been preserved in the hallway and staircase area. The rooms on the ground floor and first floor have Cologne beam ceilings. There is a vaulted cellar under the living area. The house at Oestricher Str. 16 is therefore a well-preserved evidence of a typical, probably formerly rural property of the 19th century. It vividly conveys the older housing and settlement conditions in Oestrich. The former street village of Oestrich has now merged with Erkelenz. In the immediate vicinity of the Karlskapelle, however, there are still a large number of older buildings (apparently 19th century, in some cases, in the core, possibly older), which still pass on the earlier, independent village character, e.g. B. also directly opposite the house Oestricher Straße 16. 966 Oestrich is mentioned as a center of the Fronhofverband, which was transferred to the Aachen Marienstift . For the settlement development of the Erkelenz area in Franconian and medieval times, a "settlement chamber" around Erkelenz and Oestrich is used as the starting point for successively expanding reclamation and clearing. Oestrich was connected to Erkelenz with today's Brückstrasse, on which another suburban settlement developed in medieval times. In addition to the original, extensively preserved building fabric outside and inside, the remodeling of the facade around 1900 is also of interest in the present case, which represents a modernization typical of the time and the influence of “urban” taste. In the then district of Erkelenz in particular, there were intense discussions about such modernization at the time, and after 1900 the authorities also vigorously tried to counteract such changes, which were understood as “defaced”. The house at Oestricher Str. 16 is a very concise example of contemporary tendencies that are relatively seldom preserved in such an unchanged form (in Erkelenz e.g. still in Kuckum 23, 25, 31 ). As a testimony to the older settlement history of Oestrich, the house at Oestricher Str. 16 is important for Erkelenz. There is a public interest in its preservation and use because of its largely unchanged clarity and for the described scientific, here settlement and architectural-historical reasons. It is therefore an architectural monument in accordance with § 2 of the Monument Protection Act NW	around 1800	0Dec 8, 2006	334
