In 1364 Dülken was first referred to as "stede"; however, according to Brües, the first mention of a stone city fortification comes from 1404 and later. Before that there was probably the usual wood-earth fastening with "grave, planken, portzen and other vestingen". Formerly a closed wall around the roughly oval city with twelve (1568) or later (1609) 19 towers, except for one semicircular and open inwards, two city gates in the north (Stein or Süchtelner Tor) and south (Linden or Gladbacher Tor) ) and an additional "Bruchpforte" in the west. The foundations of the Süchtelner Tor with a rectangular gate tower inside and a half-shell tower on the field side were excavated in 1986. There was a ditch in front of the wall. Extensive renovation work has been handed down from the 16th century. In the 18th century onset of decay, from 1831 razing of the fortifications and development of the city moats. Description: The following longer sections have been preserved as rising historical masonry: On Theodor-Frings-Allee on both sides of the “prisoner tower”, the only fully round tower of the city fortifications, which was rebuilt above the foundation walls from 1963. The adjoining brick wall sections are added upwards from a height of approx. 1 1/2 to 2 m, but the old sections are clearly visible. Buttresses support the wall inwards towards the former wall. The former ditch on the field side is now a public green area. Further north (on the west wall) there is another section of the wall, cut and patched and with interruptions by plastering / gates; the part is nevertheless marked as a monument in order to show the clarity of the entire "city wall" as a wall. Finally, according to local information, there is a longer section of the wall with a semicircular tower on the east wall (only recognizable from the gardens towards the moat) and in the houses on the east wall / Hospitalstrasse, which were added to the field side in the 19th century, including the wall. The buildings themselves are of no monument value. As a testimony to the historical status of Dülken as a city that has been fortified since the Middle Ages, the city wall of Dülken is important for Viersen. There is a public interest in the preservation of the wall sections at a historical location for scientific reasons, in particular for reasons of local history and the history of the settlement.	after 1404	Apr 18, 2002	435
more pictures	War memorial	Dülken Theodor-Frings-Allee map	The war memorial in Dülken, created in 1934 by the sculptor Willy Meller from Bad Godesberg (unveiling of the monument on October 21, 1934), stands in front of the old city wall near the only remaining tower, the former prisoners' tower. The larger-than-life figure (about 3.80 m high) of a young warrior made of the same material is placed on a rectangular base made of tuff stone. The figure is supposed to represent the young Siegfried as a symbol of power and strength. This is made clear by the depiction of Siegfried in her extreme forward stride as well as the clenching of the right fist and the holding of the short sword in the left hand. The warrior wears a short, belted combat dress that ends above the knees. An additional stone base is attached between the legs of the figure for support. The entire complex is supplemented by five basalt stones bearing the names of 451 fallen soldiers. These rectangular stone blocks, each crowned by a small bronze cross, are evenly spaced from each other in front of the Dülken city wall. The dimensions of the blocks: 2.00 × 0.93 m. The war memorial site on Theodor-Frings-Allee can be seen as a typical example of nationalistic monuments due to its content and appearance. For scientific, in particular local historical reasons, the preservation and use of the monument are in the public interest according to § 2 (1) of the Monument Protection Act.	1934	0Sep 7 1994	351
	Residential building	Dülken Theodor-Frings-Allee 1 a card	The brick-faced facade with yellow and red bricks presumably leans its facade design on the style of the then newly built town hall. The slightly drawn-in door is on the left. The door and window are covered with segment gables and have been preserved in their original state. A heavily structured cornice leads to the roof. Inside the building are z. T. stucco ceilings and the original doors have been preserved. The flooring as well as the original wooden stairs are available in the hallway. The house belongs to the so-called Rhenish three-window house type, a bourgeois row single-family house, as it was built almost everywhere at the same time since the second half of the 19th century, especially in the then newly emerging suburbs. The house can be seen in the urban context of Dülken, in whose south-eastern ramparts they were built and whose old city wall alignment forms the rear boundary of the property. The house is to be seen as an expression of the urban reorganization that took place outside the medieval city center through the expansion of Theodor-Frings-Allee (at that time Friedensstraße) designed in 1895. It reflects the building spirit of a small town that was economically prosperous and aspiring at the end of the 19th century. For scientific, in particular urban planning, site and architectural-historical reasons, the maintenance and use of the building according to § 2 (1) of the Monument Protection Act are in the public interest.	1900	Oct 15, 1985	71
	Residential building	Dülken Theodor-Frings-Allee 1b card	The brick plaster facade with historicizing decorative shapes is divided into two axes. The main axis on the left is covered with a gable, underneath large windows. The window on the first floor is covered with a flat triangular gable, the parapet being decorated with angels. The cantilevered cornice is supported by two female heads, the central gable window is covered by a bearded male head. Color-free areas in the façade reveal the original brick-faced façade, which is traversed here with horizontal plaster strips. Presumably, the design of the facade is based on the style of the then newly built town hall. The windows and doors are in their original condition and are covered by a flat lintel. In terms of risk, the gable is slightly projected in the facade. The rear facade is exposed to bricks with original windows. Inside the building, various stucco ceilings with floral decorations and rosettes have been preserved on the ground floor. Likewise the stairs with turned railings. The top floor has remained unchanged. The building is underlain by two high vaulted cellars that run parallel to the street. The building in the middle of a row of so-called Rhenish three-window houses stands out due to the unusual facade division. However, it is structurally identical to the neighboring houses. The house is to be seen in the urban context of Dülken, in whose south-eastern ramparts it was built and whose old city wall alignment forms the rear boundary of the property. The house is to be seen as an expression of the urban reorganization that took place outside the medieval city center through the expansion of Theodor-Frings-Allee (at that time Friedensstraße) designed in 1895.

	Residential building	Dülken Theodor-Frings-Allee 2 map	The house, which was probably built around 1889 on the site of the former moat, is the first building in a series of lavishly designed villas on one side of the street and rather simple terraced houses on the other side of the street. The building with a gable roof, facing the street on the eaves side, is divided into four axes and is combined with the neighboring building to form a stylistic unit with a total of 8 axes in the street facade. The facade, held in decorative forms of the Neo-Renaissance, experiences a horizontal structure through a plinth, sill, floor and cornice, with the ground floor being executed in a strongly structured banded plaster. The upper floor is brick-facing. The entrance is covered by a balcony on consoles. The ground floor has arched windows, the upper floor rectangular, which are covered by flat triangular gables. The window frames and sash are in their original state. The original extension of the house was probably changed in the 1920s to 30s. The stairs, doors and the wooden paneling in the stairwell and hallway date from this time. The heavily structured stucco ornamentation with floral motifs on the ceilings can be assigned to the original expansion. The back of the house has been modernized. On the Theodor-Frings-Allee there are “official buildings” - town hall and school - on the one hand, and residential buildings of different social demands on the other, as part of a new urban development plan outside the medieval city center. The building attitude of the late 19th century in an economically prosperous and aspiring small town is particularly clear here. For scientific, in particular architectural and urban history reasons, the preservation and use of the Theodor-Frings-Allee 2 building in accordance with Section 2 (1) of the Monument Protection Act are in the public interest.	1889	Dec. 30, 1986	142

	Semi-villa	Dülken Theodor-Frings-Allee 8 map	The two-storey semi-villa, decorated in neo-renaissance shapes, was built by the Cologne builders Schreiterer and Schreiber for the merchant Julius Clemens. The year on the gable of the tower axis refers to the year of construction 1887. The building with a mansard roof is built in three to one axes with an emphasis on the front and entrance side of the house. The right side axis is therefore drawn forward and gabled like a risalit. The brick plaster facade, preserved in its original state, is horizontally divided by clearly separating structured floor and sill cornices on the upper floor. The wide crane cornice lifts gable and roof structures all around from the facade. The base cornice with the windows of the basement is given a subordinate design. In contrast, the windows on the ground floor have corner blocks and a wedge stone decorated with a woman's head. The window in the side axis is particularly adorned with blinded pillars and a man's head, above that the window on the upper floor, with a round arch, is adorned in the spandex with angels who turn away from a coat of arms. The ornamentation on the front side is remarkable, the concern of which is essentially related to the entrance and is demonstratively designed from the two pillars of the entrance, which in turn support the pillars above in the ornamentation, right through to the top of the onion dome. The less ornate rear of the house has largely been preserved in its original state. The interior of the villa is provided with splendid wooden extensions and has to be described as completely preserved despite minor changes. Old rooms are provided with stucco on the ceilings up to the upper floor. Strongly structured on the ground floor, there is a ceiling in the room facing the street, adorned with a wreath of leaves. The room behind on the garden side is equipped with a wooden coffered ceiling that is artfully inlaid. The room is divided by two columns with painted marbling. Particularly noteworthy is the entrance area of ​​the house with artistic woodwork. Here there is a generous wooden staircase as well as an approx. 2 m high cassette cladding, in which a door with a carved gable is installed, which formerly hid the dining elevator. The room doors with frames are also included. In the basement of the house is the former kitchen of the house with the original floor tiles. The rest of the basement is covered with a cap. Julius Clemens (1844–1906) belonged to a highly respected family that has been known to have lived in Dülken since the 18th century and included mayors and vicars. Franz Rütger Clemens founded a porcelain trade in 1801. His heirs continued to run the department store he built under the name "FR Clemens Erben" until the middle of the 20th century on Moselstrasse. It can be assumed that Julius Clemens, as a successful businessman, got to know and appreciate the Cologne master builder Schreiterer, who was one of the most important architects in the German Empire due to numerous national competition successes, with his partner Schreiber on his travels. The strikingly designed villa has a decisive influence on the Theodor-Frings-Allee, which was laid out at the end of the last century and is considered an example of the building spirit at the end of the 19th century in an economically prosperous and up-and-coming small town. The original stucco facades on the street and entrance side of the house enrich the cityscape. As a merchant, the view beyond one's own city limits was given. The interior furnishings reveal prosperity, especially in the unusual execution of the wood and stucco work.

	Residential building	Dülken Theodor-Frings-Allee 15 map	The two-storey house built in 1892 is built as a corner house facing Augustastraße. The two street facades, on the gable side to Augustastraße and on the eaves side to Theodor-Frings-Allee, are structured by the alternation of red and yellow bricks, which are deliberately used and arranged as decorative elements. The corners of the building are particularly highlighted by the use of red bricks. The three-axis facade facing Theodor-Frings-Allee is emphasized by a gable with a pointed arch. The building is separated from the predominantly plastered row of houses by a cut in which the entrance is located at the back. The windows, covered with flat triangles in the gable, are in their original condition, as is the front door. Particularly noteworthy is the interior design. Here there are heavily structured stucco ceilings and the old oak wood staircase with carvings in the unchanged condition. The basement of the building is covered with cap ceilings. The building, based on the style of the former town hall, as well as other buildings on Theodor-Frings-Allee, can be assigned to the expansion phase of the city of Dülken at the end of the last century. With the expansion of the former Friedensstrasse, the building spirit of an economically prosperous and up-and-coming small town is reflected. For scientific, in particular urban planning, street-shaping, urban development and local history reasons, the maintenance and use of the building according to Section 2 (1) of the Monument Protection Act are in the public interest.	1892	July 30, 1986	119
	Residential building	Dülken Theodor-Frings-Allee 17 / Augustastraße 9 map	The building is part of a two-storey row of houses that was erected around 1900 on the site of the former city moat of Dülken. The two-storey house with a mezzanine is built in three axes and forms the end of Augustastraße with the designed gable end. The color-free areas in the facade reveal the original, brick-faced outer wall. The design of the facade, as well as other houses on Theodor-Frings-Allee, is probably based on the design of the then newly built town hall. The street facade of the house is on the ground floor in stucco and above the cornice in brick. The windows are covered with segmental arch decoration, with the windows on the upper floor being accentuated by a horizontal lintel. The gable end of the house is adorned with a woman's head. Further below is a blinded window opening with a flat window gable and lateral corner blocks. The building belongs to the so-called Rhenish three-window house, a bourgeois row single-family house, which was built almost everywhere at the same time since the second half of the 19th century, especially in the then newly emerging suburbs. The house can be seen in the urban context of Dülken, in whose south-eastern wall area it was built and whose old city wall alignment forms its rear property boundary. The house is to be seen as an expression of the urban reorganization that took place outside of the medieval city center through the expansion of Theodor-Frings-Allee (then Friedenstraße) designed in 1895. It reflects the building spirit of a small town that was economically prosperous and aspiring at the end of the 19th century.

	villa	Dülken Theodor-Frings-Allee 18 map	The two-storey villa corner building erected in 1897 is built in 4: 5 axes to Doergensstraße. Its corner situation, which dominates Theodor-Frings-Platz, is emphasized by its, i.e. H. Building corner with high gabled roofs demonstrated on both sides. The broad side, the side facing the street, is slightly projected at both corners in a risa-lit manner, with the two central window axes receding and resulting in a balcony room on the upper floor. This still has the old wrought iron bars between the brick parapet pillars. Both street facades are structured by the alternation of red and yellow bricks, which are deliberately used and arranged as decorative elements. Yellow brick strips and decorative friezes stretch horizontally around the house. The flat arches of the window and door openings are alternately bricked with yellow / red bricks. The corners of the building are made of yellow brick. In the two gables there are blind ox eyes made of yellow bricks. A strong cornice leads over to the roof structure. The dormer windows repeat the elements of the gable ends in their semicircular window roofs and the volutes in their zinc frame. The two curved angled gables (the front upper part has been renewed) are accentuated in their verge by light-colored stone. Likewise, the balcony ceiling and the brackets that support it, which are decorated with plastic stucco, are made of stone. The window sills and cornices as well as the base sill are renewed in concrete. The window reveals made of round shaped brick (also the ledges, the branch arches and at the entrance) have been partially added. The windows themselves have been renewed, but the entrance door is still there. The rear extension from 1925 has corresponding new window openings. A staircase leads up to the entrance door in the far right window axis on Theodor-Frings-Allee. A small front garden is enclosed here by a low wall, the grating of which has been renewed. Inside, the room layout of the house was changed when it was converted into an apartment building in 1976. The windows of the attic, which had been converted into apartments, were renewed in one piece. The black and white marble tiles have been preserved in the entrance area of ​​the hallway; only the handrail post remained of the wooden stairs. The stucco ceiling is only still present here in the entrance area. There are caps in the basement. The building with its historicizing decorative forms takes up the style of the new town hall and forms a counterpart to it on the opposite side of the square. Designing the square and streetscape right from the start, this Wilhelminian-style villa was part of the expansion phase of the town of Dülken at the end of the last century, when Theodor-Frings-Allee was laid out, and can be seen as an example of the building spirit of an economically prosperous and aspiring small town. For scientific, in particular urban planning, plaza and street image, architectural and art-historical reasons, the preservation and use of the building are in the public interest according to § 2 (1) Monument Protection Act.	1897	Feb. 28, 1985	25th
more pictures	former high school	Dülken Theodor-Frings-Allee 22 map	In 1825 compulsory schooling was introduced in the Rhineland. In the beginning there was not only a lack of suitable teachers, but also suitable classrooms. Several initially very modest schoolhouses were built during this time. In Dülken, from 1833, classrooms were set up in the upper rooms of the monastery building for several bourgeois sons who had previously been taught privately. Josef Decker was hired as a teacher. In 1851 a contract was concluded between the city council and the Decker School, according to which, in addition to mutual obligations and rights, the city was given the right to supervise the school. In 1872 the school moved into a new building on what was then Friedensstrasse, which was built as a higher citizen school. The secret councilor of Commerce, Mr. Mathias Bücklers, donated 20,000 thalers for the new building. The design comes from the building officer Krüger, who comes from the Berlin Schinkel School. Description The building itself was built in a neo-Gothic style. It was originally a symmetrically designed facade with 7 window axes, the 3 middle ones being preferred as a risalit. In 1910 it was extended to the west by two window axes, but the architectural form of the main building was largely adopted. Part of the school has a basement; the cellar is covered with vaults. The building stands on an approx. 1.10 m high plinth that is bricked and plastered, with a facade in two-tone brick that is vertically structured. The pilaster strips, which are connected both storeys high and under the eaves by pointed arches, emphasize the corners of the building. The subsequent extension is separated from the main building by a pilaster strip. The risalit, in which not only the corners are decorated with pilaster strips, but also the window axes are separated from each other, there is a stepped gable above the risalit, and above the central risalit axis, which is also the entrance axis, the pilaster strips are not through Pointed arches, but connected by a blind gable. There is a stylized round window under the gable. The center of the left side facade is emphasized with a gable that takes on the shape of the blind gable. The building is given a weak, horizontal structure through the parapet cornice that runs upstairs. The windows on the upper floor, behind which the auditorium was located, are highlighted by tracery forms, above them pointed arches with clover-leaf-shaped blind openings. The other windows are supported on a sill made of profiled ashlar and are closed off by a horizontal lintel, which is also framed by a cornice for each window individually. All windows, with the exception of the windows to the “auditorium”, were renewed in 1968, but the window bar distribution, as shown in a photo from around 1907, has not been adopted. The other facades are designed similarly, but not as richly as the street front. The side facades each have two rosettes made of stone with a clover-leaf motif at the height of the floor. The building is covered with a hipped roof. The walls of the auditorium have been paneled with wood up to a height of 2 m. Inside, next to the entrance, there is a later built-in baroque double door with a skylight. The door is said to come from the old town hall in Dülken, which burned down in 1791. The building, with its well-preserved facade and floor plan, is not only a testimony to one architectural direction, but also, due to its original purpose, a witness to a cultural and historical development. For scientific, in particular architectural and cultural-historical reasons, the maintenance and use of the building are in the public interest in accordance with Section 2 (1) Monument Protection Act.	1872/1910	0July 1, 1986	109

The late classicistic plastered façade of the two houses is divided into four axes and is horizontally structured through the plinth, sill, cornice and the ground floor plastering between the windows. The area between the floor and sill cornice is filled with decorative ornaments. The windows, modernized in both houses, are covered by a flat, blind lintel on the ground floor. The facades are almost identical except for the courtyard passage in house Theodor-Frings-Allee 26. Inside, the original equipment has largely been preserved. In the entrance hall, for example, there are still the colorful floor tiles and the wooden staircase with turned railings and posts, as well as a circumferential stucco frieze on the ceiling. In the front room, the stucco is under the suspended ceiling, while the stucco coves on the ceilings are visible on the upper floor. The wooden interior doors with original door handles as well as the floorboards on the upper floor (under carpet) and in the attic have been preserved. There are two attic rooms in addition to the granary, which are illuminated through the four small jam-windows. The two brick-built vaulted cellars (approx. 2.10 m high) with brick floors run parallel to the street. While the front residential building received modernized windows (around 1970), the windows of the elongated rear building are still original. They have wooden shutters that are folded on the inside. Through the Schürgesweg, which closes the courtyard diagonally from the neighbors, there is still the old water channel, the course of which can be followed through the garden. The gable wall of the Schürgesweg shows the framework here under plaster. There is still old brick paving in the courtyard. The end of the last century apply and reflects the historical cityscape.

	Residential building	Dülken Theodor-Frings-Allee 27 map	The semi-detached house (with saddle roof) with rear buildings, built in 1903 on the site of the former city moat of Dülken, is a mirror image of three storeys and three axes each. The strict symmetry of the window axes of the two three-window houses is emphasized horizontally by belt, window sill and cornice. The brick plaster facades (plaster on the ground floor, otherwise yellow, glazed brick) are kept in different, historicizing decorative forms. The house entrances are next to each other, are slightly drawn in (entrance steps) and both still have the original wooden entrance doors. In addition, there are doormats embedded in the facade. The knee-high windows have the original decorative iron grilles. The courtyard ends slightly rising at the brick wall that stands on the old city wall. The three-window house has decorative vegetal ornaments on the keel-arched window roofings, on the decorative surfaces below the windows and on the roof frieze. The central axis is emphasized by the middle upper floor window with a stucco frame. The windows, including the window frames, are still original. The window sills are later covered with red glazed tiles. In the lower side area, the plaster has been smoothly renewed. The interior of the building remained unchanged except for a few details. The entrance hall area is equipped with black and white tiles. The original wooden staircase with turned railing as well as the old wooden doors and the stucco decoration on some ceilings on the first and second floors have been preserved. The old wash basin or sink with Art Nouveau ornaments is still on the upper floor of the stairwell. The basement has capped ceilings. The former protective connection to the neighboring cellar is still to be recognized. The twin houses built in 1903 belong to the type of the so-called Rhenish three-window house, a bourgeois row single-family house, as it was built almost everywhere at the same time since the second half of the 19th century, especially in the then newly emerging suburbs. Both houses can be seen in the urban context of Dülken, in whose south-eastern ramparts they were built and whose old city wall alignment forms the rear boundary of the property. They are an expression of the new urban planning that took place outside the medieval city center through the expansion of Theodor-Frings-Allee (at that time Friedensstraße) designed in 1895. It reflects the building spirit of a small town that was economically prosperous and aspiring at the end of the 19th century. The rich stuccoing of the facades is of interest from an art-historical point of view, as they already anticipate some of the Art Nouveau motifs, whereby the building at Theodor-Frings-Allee 27 should be emphasized by its preserved interior.

	Residential building	Dülken Theodor-Frings-Allee 28 map	The original two-winged wooden entrance door of the central building (entrance steps) in its first (western) front axis is still preserved. During the renovation (rebuilding) in 1980, the old wooden windows were double-glazed and two dormers were rebuilt in the converted attic. The rear building, which was lengthened in 1891, was left in place, and the lattice gate that closed the narrow courtyard was repaired with a cast column. The interior has also been carefully renovated. The black and white marbled marble floor in the hallway was preserved (including an old heating panel), as was the wooden staircase with a turned railing. The front room still has the beamed ceiling, little stucco consoles have been preserved in the bay window on the upper floor. The two vaulted cellars parallel to the street were rebuilt and deepened. The uniformly designed semi-detached house with the character of a villa is a defining feature of the cityscape thanks to its unmistakable exterior design of the gable and street facade. Acting as an eye-catcher through the bay tower, bay window and richly decorated stucco facade, the building together with the houses Theodor-Frings-Allee 26/24 dominates the street scene as a row of houses opposite the city wall. The building, which was built before the construction (1895) of Theodor-Frings-Allee (formerly Friedensstraße), must also be seen in an urban context. It can be seen as a testimony to the great economic rise of the city of Dülken at the end of the last century and reflects the demonstrative bourgeois building spirit in its elaborate decorative facades, which were added in 1904. For scientific, in particular art history, architectural history, local history, urban development history and urban planning reasons, the preservation and use of the buildings according to § 2 (1) Monument Protection Act are in the public interest.	1889/1904	Feb. 28, 1985	27

The three-window house has rich facade decorations partly in geometric, partly in vegetable ornamentation. A wide cross-arch frieze emphasizes the cornice, on the ground floor and knee floor there are flat segment-arched window (door) roofs, but not on the upper floor, where the middle window is more elaborately designed. In 1981 the house was renovated and modernized. New plastic windows with double glazing were used. The interior of the residential building used as an office on the ground floor has been changed. Only the turned railing post of the wooden staircase remains from the original equipment. In the basement entrance area, remains of the black and white tiled floor can still be seen.

more pictures	Residential building	Dülken Theodor-Frings-Allee 30 map	The entrance door is on the east gable side. It has moved in and was renewed (entrance steps) in 1965 without a double blow. During the renovation work (conversion) of the house carried out in 1965, the windows were renewed (roller shutter installation / aluminum frame), whereby the old wooden frames on the upper floor were partly used. The window above the front door and the one on the left were walled up. The windows in the attic received stained glass. The rear front was completely changed (the original brick facade still existed here). The elongated rear building, built in 1896, and the intermediate piece of the half-timbered garden house (veranda) built in 1889 remained. In contrast, the old massive wooden pavilion with carved beams was torn down to make room for two garages. The slope of the terrain, which descended towards Theodor-Frings-Allee, was also absorbed behind the garages with low walls. Doors inside were bricked up and new ones broken. The wooden floors were removed and replaced with new floors. The interior doors were locked smoothly. Only the marble wall cladding (black and white, marbled) in the ground floor corridor area as well as the simple stucco frieze there and the wooden beam ceilings in the front rooms on the ground floor and first floor remained. The approximately 1.85 cm high three vaulted cellars (the middle one narrower), which run parallel to the street, have been preserved.	1889/1904	Feb. 28, 1985	28
	Residential building	Dülken Theodor-Frings-Allee 32 map	The two-storey building with a hipped roof leads from Lange Straße into Theodor-Frings-Allee. It is brick-facing and was built in 1927. The facade facing the street, divided into two axes, is accentuated by the semi-oval oriel on the ground floor. The design of the original windows is remarkable here. On the ground floor there are sliding windows with a horizontal, rectangular muntin division. The windows above take up the muntin division and are covered by a round arch. The skylight has a rosette-like division. Furthermore, the windows on the upper floor are to be closed with louvre shutters. The entrance is on the side in the central projectile, which is pulled forward on the ground floor and covered by a curved canopy. The building is divided horizontally by a cornice on the upper floor, which ends in the brick structure of the hipped roof-covered risalites. The plot of land faces the street in a column arrangement with a railing in between. The two wrought-iron parapet-high garden gates probably date from the time it was built. A vestibule leads to the inside of the building. The doors here are covered with brass brackets. All room doors with frames and panels as well as one sliding door are in their original condition. The dark room doors are provided with horn, brass handles. The stairs and the radiator cladding, also made of dark wood, are well preserved. The original floors, linoleum in the hallway, parquet in the other rooms, laid in a herringbone pattern, are unchanged. A twin window with a round arch and lead glazing is assigned to the stairwell. The entire building in fine detail, from the masonry details and roof outlets (spouts) to the radiator cladding and surrounding friezes under the ceilings as well as the tile finish in the wet rooms testify to an architectural quality and thus make the building a document of current construction. Furthermore, due to its prominent free-standing location opposite the buildings on the old city wall, it is of urban significance.

	Wegekapelle Tiefenstrasse	Ummer Tiefenstrasse map	The single-aisled chapel with a flat round apse was probably built in 1864 on Tiefenstrasse. The axially symmetrical structure is structured by red and yellow bricks that come from the nearby clay processing plant of Johann Heinrich Plattes. The gable with a rising pointed arch frieze ends with a weathercock. A profiled eaves cornice that ends in the two pilaster strips leads over to the slate-covered roof. The pointed arch door with neo-Gothic wrought iron bars is hung with a slope formed with shaped stones typical of the style. Inside the chapel, the floor covering made of multi-colored clay tiles is believed to have been preserved. There is a neo-Gothic crucifixion group on the altar. For scientific, in particular art historical reasons, the preservation and use of the path chapel is in the public interest in accordance with Section 2 (1) of the Monument Protection Act.	1864	0Apr 4, 1986	91
	Marienpark Alter kath. graveyard	Dülken Tilburger Strasse map	In 1831 the cemetery on Süchtelner Straße (today Tilburger Straße) was created near the Kreuzkapelle. In 1873 it had to be moved to Loosenweg (now Arnoldstraße). In 1924 the cemetery was redesigned into a park, popularly known as the "Lunapark". Remains of the tombstones from the 19th century and the late Classicist gate construction have been preserved from the original inventory. Gate construction: The gate building of the old cemetery is a silted brick building on a square floor plan. A curved tent roof with a ball and cross rises above the protruding wooden cornice. The large round arched passage opening is lined with plaster pilasters on both sides. A wooden decorative grille in the shape of a lunette fills the arched area of ​​the entrance. The rear passage is designed in the shape of a basket arch. Round arches are attached to the side walls both outside and inside. The interior has an open roof structure. Tombs: The tombs of the former cemetery have only survived in fragments. Only one grave cross is almost undamaged. It is made of sandstone and shows neo-Gothic shapes. The base bears an inscription and is decorated with finials at the corners. Above this is a frieze with quatrefoil ornaments. The base of the cross is decorated with three-pass ornaments. The cross itself is badly damaged. The crucifix that must have existed in the past is missing. In addition, in the western area of ​​the park there are some grave plinths with inscriptions, smaller grave slabs and a stele made of shell limestone with a surrounding cross-arch frieze. Under the frieze, in the base area, there is an oval ornament formed by a snake biting its tail, the symbol of infinity. A butterfly is shown in the middle. In addition, there are small gable-shaped structures in the form of eyelashes with typical neo-Gothic motifs such as B. pointed arches, crabs, finials, four-pass and three-pass shapes. The materials of the tombstone fragments consist almost exclusively of sandstone and shell limestone. For scientific, in particular religious-historical and folklore reasons, the maintenance and use of the facility are in the public interest in accordance with Section 2 (1) of the Monument Protection Act.	4th January 1905	0Feb 1, 1991	252
	Villa Burtscheidt	Dülken Tilburger Strasse 48 map	Location and origin: The exact construction date of Villa Tilburger Straße 48 in Dülken is unknown. From the archive documents known so far, however, the construction time can be narrowed down to the mid-1880s. The client was the factory owner Gerhard Burtscheidt, owner of a neighboring machine factory and iron foundry. In the 1930s, the house was converted into a bank and administration building. Today's Tilburger Strasse refers to the old country road between Dülken and Süchteln and was therefore called Süchtelner Strasse for a long time. At the time of construction, an industrial area began to be developed here, north of the gates of the old town center, but there was still little development, so the villa was in a relatively free location. But the railway line that separated Gerhard Burtscheidt's villa and factory had already existed since the 1860s. Description: It is a two-and-a-half-storey plastered building with a hipped roof, slightly removed from the road that passes by. The building is divided into two parts, each on a rectangular base: a five-axis part with a central entrance and then on the left, but set back around an axis, a three-axis part, which was previously opened to the front by a veranda. The building is lavishly decorated on all sides by framing the rectangular windows and entrances, cornices and accented corners. A band of diamond-coated blocks runs above the base, which is opened with basement windows. Together with the corner blocks and the cornice of the eaves, this creates a frame for the individual wall surfaces. The simply framed openings on the ground floor sit on the frieze of the diamond cuboid. The central entrance of the right part of the building is pulled forward, is framed by pilasters and at the same time forms the substructure for an exit on the upper floor. The formerly open veranda of the left, rear part of the building is adorned by two slender round columns with Ionic capitals, between which a low baluster parapet is stretched. The first and second floors are separated by a double cornice. On the upper floor, the window openings are richly designed in the typical manner of a bel étage, with small brackets under the window sill, broad, profiled plaster framing and triangular gable roofs. Above this main floor there is another mezzanine with recessed, laterally rounded openings also provided with plaster framing. The side and rear facades are basically decorated in the same way. The left narrow side has a dwelling with a triangular gable above the two middle of the four window axes. A single-storey extension was subsequently added to the narrow right-hand side. On the back, on the ground floor, there is a porch, the left part of which is original (recognizable by the former corner cuboid). The space between the recessed wing of the building and the porch was subsequently closed, along with the installation of new window formats. On the ridge of the relatively flat roof surfaces, above the front part of the building, there is a Belvedere exit with an ornamental grille between brick corner pillars. While the two additions to the right and back, the new front door at the former main entrance and the closure of the veranda on the outside are the only changes worth mentioning, the interior has suffered greatly from the conversion since the 1930s. The layout of the room, development and equipment have largely changed, but the remains that have survived allow some conclusions to be drawn about the original disposition. A stately two-winged front door has been preserved, through which one enters the right part of the building from the side of the former veranda. From here you can reach the old main staircase (railing and parapet renewed), in which the most outstanding piece of equipment is a glass painting dated 1916 depicting an iron foundry. The extent to which the original ceiling designs are still hidden under the suspended ceilings on the ground floor may require closer examination, but it is likely. Fragments of typical floor coverings (ornamental tiles, natural stone) can still be seen. In this context, the large decorative tile areas in the basement are noteworthy, for which it is unclear whether they were originally attached here (which e.g. seems conceivable in connection with a possible kitchen use of the basement) or were subsequently laid here. The roof structure with the elaborate Belvedere substructure is largely original. History: Gerhard Burtscheidt was successively the founder and owner of several machine factories and iron foundries. Like Felix Tonnar, he came from Eupen and, before going into business for himself, had also been employed in the Tonnarschen factory. When he founded his first company has so far remained open in the literature: Doergens mentions the beginning of the 1880s, Brendgens 1876. However, architectural historical research by the Rhenish Office for Monument Preservation brought a building application to light in the building files of the house at Lange Straße 27, with the Gerh . Burtscheid (sic!) Together with Servay Lentz and Joh. Leon. Voss applied for the establishment of a machine shop in an empty back building, adjacent to the Königs & Bücklers twisting mill, as early as 1871. Since the business apparently flourished as an important supplier for the textile industry, Burtscheidt and Lentz built a new machine factory and iron foundry "Burtscheidt & Lentz" on Süchtelner Strasse in the early 1880s - a fencing plan for the facility has been preserved from 1884. The von Burtscheidt villa is likely to have been built around the same time as the new factory: there is an enclosure plan for it from 1886, and it is also shown on site plans for the houses at Tilburger Strasse 36-44, which were built between 1885 and 1889. After all, it is also recorded on the town plan from 1894, as is the factory at the beginning of the newly developed industrial area on Heiligenstrasse. Burtscheidt and Lentz separated as early as 1884; Burtscheidt continued to run the factory alone until 1890, when Gerhard Ulrici and Dr. Eduard Jansen became a new partner, the company now traded as Burtscheidt, Ulrici & Co. In the 1890s the company employed up to 190 people and in 1897 it was converted into a stock corporation, Rheinische Webstuhlfabrik AG. After further company and name changes, since 1915 (Perdelwitz), the machine factory and iron foundry Anton Röper continued the tradition of the location to this day. Burtscheidt himself had also founded a second machine factory on Kampweg in 1893, which was converted into the Tovenrath silk weaving mill (later Rossié, Beckerath, Kredt) in 1902. Nothing is currently known about Burtscheidt's further life and career. In 1916, his house was owned by the manufacturer Johann Carl Hartmann. He founded the Hartmann & Friederichs ironworks on Heiligenstrasse in 1912 (1914: Hartmann iron and steelworks), after having previously been director of the Carlshütte iron foundry in Staffel near Limburg ad Lahn. In 1918 the factory was named after its new owner Siegfried G. Werner Stahlwerk Werner (Niederrheinische Eisenhütte und Maschinenfabrik); Otto Fuchs Metallwerke Meinerzhagen moved into the company building, which was closed in 1932. The creation of the glass painting in the stairwell falls into Hartmann's time. The house, also known as "Villa Hartmann", was sold in 1935 to the Westdeutsche Bodenkreditanstalt in Cologne / district purchasing and sales cooperative Kempen-West, Dülken and converted by the architect Rangette in 1934–39 for new use as an agricultural bank or office building. With its two factories, Burtscheid was the first, along with the finishing by Jordan Terstappen (1891), to settle beyond the railway line in the new industrial area Heiligenstraße / Feldstraße (later Kampweg). His villa is also still in a relatively free location on the town plan from 1894, as the urban expansion area between the town center and the railway line was only slowly growing - the neighboring houses 36-44 were built in 1885-89, the Weyermann & Sons and companies diagonally opposite Ferdinand Fuesers did not come into existence until 1897, only the silk factory E. Thum & Sons (corner of Süchtelner Str. / Friedrichstrasse) had already been established in 1881, i.e. around the same time as Burtscheidt's ventures. This area between Süchtelner Straße, Viersener Straße, Sternstraße and Bahnlinie is characterized to this day by a mixed development of simple row houses, upscale residential buildings as well as craft and industrial businesses from the Wilhelminian era to the 1920s. Monument value: Gerhard Burtscheidt belonged to a younger generation of entrepreneurs in Dülken who succeeded the older Mevissen, Tonnar, Bücklers and Thum in the founding years at the end of the 19th century. The expansion of his factories from humble beginnings in a backyard on Langen Strasse suggests rapid prosperity, which he confidently expressed with his villa. The location, dimensions and design clearly stand out from the predominantly reserved, still classicist residential buildings of older families. Not only the elaborate neo-baroque design, but also the location, which is free on all sides and clearly set back from the street, characterize a new level of business residence. B. Felix Tonnar on Marktstrasse built a typical town house built into the row 20 years earlier. In terms of size and shape, the comparison shows that the Villa Burtscheidt must be counted among the outstanding representatives of the upscale, representative housing construction of the industrialization phase in Dülken. It certainly has a metropolitan format. As a result of the renovations since the 1930s, the transmission of the original building fabric and thus the clarity of the historic Gründerzeit entrepreneurial villa have of course suffered. This does not apply to the exterior, where the closure of the veranda represents a significant intervention, but otherwise the shape and decoration down to details such as B. the Belvedere (rarely preserved elsewhere) on the roof ridge is preserved. The additions or the reduction in the size of the window within the openings obtained are negligible compared to the overall effect and are also reversible. The interventions in the interior are more significant, where although some distinctive furnishing details are preserved or are to be assumed under younger layers (stairs, ceilings, partly floors; the stairwell window protrudes), a coherent historical overall impression currently appears to be built. The poorly representative use in the last few decades and the modest surroundings have damaged the house, but not destroyed its historical character. This architectural historical testimony value in connection with the local historical dimension of the client and his company therefore justify a public interest in the preservation and use of this important structural testimony of the early days in Dülken. There are also reasons for urban development history, as the house represents an early and formative part of the Wilhelminian city expansion area between Viersener Strasse and Heiligenstrasse, in which typical entrepreneurial villas, workers' houses, workshops and industrial companies as well as public buildings (train station, possibly church, post, etc.) are closely located Space next to each other. The Villa Burtscheidt, Tilburger Straße 48 in Viersen-Dülken is important for Dülken, City of Viersen, for the reasons described above. There is a public interest in their preservation and use for scientific, here architectural and historical reasons, as well as for urban development-historical reasons. It is therefore a monument according to §2 Monument Protection Act NRW.	1880s	July 17, 2008	481
	Wayside cross	Suchteln Tönisvorster Strasse map	The neo-Gothic stone cross from 1906 on the road to Vorst stands in a large complex enclosed by a brick wall. On a two-level substructure rises a double stepped base with an embedded granite tablet, the inscription of which reads: In memory of the victims / of the World War 1914 - 1918 / the Sec. Hagen. On the back side: Dedicated from voluntary contributions / all Anrath parishioners / the Hagen section Above this is the middle part of the cross substructure with a three-pass granite tablet bearing the following inscription: "Save your soul", / with the first two words following the curve of the middle three-pass arch, including: “In memory of the / hl. Mission 1869 / Established 1906 / My Jesus / Mercy ”. Immediately below the cross is a beveled base with an inserted block shape and a four-pass motif on the front and back. In the lower area of ​​the cross trunk there are small protrusions on all four sides. The cross arms end in the shape of a clover. The metal body of Christ is colored (body: red, loincloth: white), as is the INRI symbol. In the front area of ​​the facilities there are two plaques embedded in the wall in honor of those who fell in the Second World War. The cross, which, as the inscription shows, was erected in memory of the holy mission of 1869, replaces an old wooden cross that was erected in 1854. In 1869 this cross was consecrated by the missionaries in Anrath during the above mentioned mission and in 1906 it had to be torn down and burned because it was in disrepair. For scientific, in particular religious-historical and folkloric reasons, the preservation and use of the cross are in the public interest in accordance with Section 2 (1) of the Monument Protection Act.	1906	June 20, 1989	197
more pictures	former town hall Süchteln	Suchteln Tönisvorster Strasse 24 map	History: As a successor to the old town hall opposite the parish church of St. Clemens, the new town hall of the town of Süchteln was built in 1898 as a "Point de Vue" on the Ratsallee, based on a design by Ulrich Dülken, city architect. The foundation stone was laid on June 18, 1898, the roof was covered by winter and the building was completed the next year, so that the inauguration took place on November 15, 1899. The construction costs amounted to 67,500.00 DM. They were covered by a loan of 60,000.00 DM and the proceeds from the sold parish hall, which used to be the mayor's apartment. Description: The facade, designed in neo-renaissance forms, gets its color from the type of materials. Here, red and white bricks were processed with manual dexterity, whereby the white ones were used to emphasize the vertical axes and to frame the window opening. The street facade is mainly structured by the alternation between the two stone colors, which are particularly noticeable as corner blocks. The sill, sill cornice and base cornice are drawn horizontally in light-colored brick strips around the house. The base of the building is made of ashlar plaster, which was carved here. The street facade is divided into seven axes, of which the middle and the two outer axes are formed with risalits, a component protruding from the line of the building. The central projection is set up with a tower typical of town halls, which towers over the building with its tip and helmet. A balcony is arranged on the upper floor for further emphasis. The architecture, which is oriented towards the center, is supported by the side projections, which formerly ended with curved bent gables, rich in decorative ornaments. A double window axis is arranged on both sides of the tower, the window openings are covered with decorative gables. A heavily structured cornice leads to the roof structure. The dormers were probably changed after war damage and the entire attic. The left side front had to be completely renewed. On the right side facade, the entrance can be reached via a two-sided flight of stairs, which has been preserved with the original wrought iron railing. Inside the house, the hall area has been left with the original tiles. The meeting room of the former town hall is located on the upper floor. It is equipped with a wooden cassette construction in the base area. The building concept of this time can be clearly seen in the distinction between the representative facade design of the house facade, here related to the center, and the functionally tailored structure. The two long sides of the house, designed soberly on the back and representative on the street side, form a contrast. The type of town hall built in the middle of the city at a preferred location can be assigned to the expansion phase during the economic boom and is to be seen as an example of the building spirit of the emerging small town. For scientific, in particular urban planning, cityscape, architectural and art-historical reasons, the preservation and use of the building are in the public interest according to § 2 (1) Monument Protection Act.	1898/1899	Aug 28, 1985	63
	St. Irmgardis Hospital	Suchteln Tönisvorster Strasse 26–28 map	History: (The following summary of the building history is based on the detailed account by Arie Nabrings in the commemorative publication “125 Years of St. Irmgardis Hospital in Süchteln” (1996), pp. 27-38.) The earliest news about a doctor in Süchteln comes from the 16th Century. Only since the 18th century have there been increasing sources of medical activities in the area, including a hospital in (Süchteln-) Vorst that is mentioned for the first time in 1759. Around the middle of the 19th century, as in numerous other areas of society, a process of institutionalization took place in public health care, inextricably linked to the industrial revolution and advances in medicine, to which the founding of the hospital in Süchteln, which still exists today, owes itself . With regard to the establishment dates of hospitals in the region, Süchteln occupies "a middle rank" (Nabrings). As early as 1846, a farmer founded a foundation for the establishment of a hospital for the poor and in the 1850s the efforts of the parish to settle religious sisters in the city intensified, which finally led to the laying of the foundation stone for a monastery of the poor sisters of St. Francis in 1860 (called “Klösterchen” in the village). A building site was chosen on the road leading to Vorst and further to Krefeld outside the town center. In addition to their charitable work, the sisters also ran a secondary school for daughters, which had to be closed in the turmoil of the Kulturkampf in 1874, but which can be regarded as the forerunner of the Irmgardis monastery built in 1908/09. As early as 1863, the property adjacent to the “little monastery” was acquired with the aim of building a hospital run by the Franciscan nuns. The building application and planning process date back to 1867, after the plans were revised by the Cologne diocesan master builder Vincenz Statz, the foundation stone was laid on August 19, 1869 "with great public sympathy". The hospital chapel was consecrated in July 1871, and on August 24, 1871 the hospital opened under the name of 'St. Irmgardis Hospice '. The new house adjoined the monastery at right angles. In the course of a smallpox epidemic in Süchteln in 1872 an isolation house - which was initially still prohibited by the government - had to be built free-standing behind the hospital (it was later incorporated into the extension buildings of the 1920s). The increasing population made an expansion necessary in the 1890s. A separate nursing home for the disabled was added to the hospital in 1897/98, parallel to the street, with which the last free parcels were filled at this point, together with the town hall, which was built around the same time. Nursing and disabled care could be spatially separated and distributed over larger areas. In terms of design, the two three-story brick buildings from 1869/71 and 1897/98 were matched to one another and a new main entrance was created. Noteworthy new buildings and renovations took place around 1930, designed by the architects Wilhelm Pauen (Düsseldorf) and Peter Salm (Aachen) in a factual, traditionalist design language as plastered buildings with brick window frames and hipped roof. Extensive expansions and renovations have taken place since the 1960s; the original "little monastery", a two-storey, eaves brick building with 10 window axes, was demolished. The wings of the 20th century can be disregarded in terms of monument conservation. Description: The first hospital building from 1869/71, built into the depths of the property, and the subsequent extension at right angles in 1897/98 today form a largely uniform structure, which is in the "L" shape eaves behind a narrow, formerly fenced in front garden - along the Tönisvorster Strasse extends. Its main viewing sides (street front, city-side gable) and the rear of the component from the 1890s are exposed to bricks, the other sides are subsequently plastered, with the rear of the original building in particular partially interlocking with the extension buildings from the 1920s. The roof surfaces are hipped down to the city-side gable (right), two stepped ornamental gables break asymmetrically through the eaves line emphasized with brick ornamental friezes (console frieze and German band), namely in the extreme left axis and above the central axis of the five-axis extension building. On the roof of the older component there is a roof turret with a tent roof and sound hatches for a bell. When the younger one was built in 1897/98, the two components were interlinked in a meaningful way. The actual construction seam can be seen in the roof area; In the wall of the street front, however, the caesura that can be read from the material is different because, together with the extension building, a new entrance axis was created in the right axis of the older part, the brick material of which corresponds to that of the new part. On this occasion, the eaves frieze was pulled through uniformly. On closer inspection, however, two pilaster strips identify the five right-hand axes as the younger building, with the right pilaster strip as corner pilasters being converted into an acrotery to accentuate the corner. Door and window openings are cut into the wall with arched lintels, old windows or original window divisions have been preserved, as is the double-winged entrance door. The window widths vary, depending on the size or function of the rooms originally behind. Wide three or four-part windows characterize the two left axes, where the chapel and examination or operating rooms were originally located. The chapel was also distinguished by a bay window with late Gothic shapes, which, like the chapel itself, no longer exists today. In the gable above there is an ogival niche with a statue of the Virgin Mary. The rear part of the right, city-side gable is pulled forward around an axis, it probably originally contained a side staircase and was then rebuilt around 1914. The gable itself is stepped, glare fields are set off by colored lines to liven up the closed brick surfaces. On the first and second floors, a kind of closed reclining room is arranged in an original way at the end of the respective central corridors, glazed on three sides with small protrusions. Another entrance with an old door adapted to the construction period was added under this projecting porch. The left side of the deep part, facing out of town, is plastered and heavily changed, especially since the broken-down “little monastery” was partially touched here. The eaves frieze on the street front is also drawn through here. On the garden side, the rear of the extension with a central risalit and eaves frieze is still largely unchanged, but it is of a lower quality than the view sides. The interior has been changed in line with the functional developments in the hospital system, particularly in terms of the uses of the space, including the two-storey high chapel. The original shape can still be seen in the central floor plan with the staircase (stone steps with cast iron ornamental railing) from 1897/98 as well as the different decorative tile coverings of the corridors on the ground floor, contemporary in their color and size of the choice of motifs. Furthermore, some of the room doors and the roof trusses of the two components have been preserved in the original. Urban classification (Tönisvorster Straße): The hospital, together with the town hall built in 1898 in the form of the German Renaissance as a brick plastered building, forms an eye-catcher on Tönisvorster Straße that defines the townscape. This leads from the center of Süchteln to the east in the direction of Tönisvorst and on to Krefeld. In 1518 it is mentioned as "Kuhstraß" in the Süchteln church order. The first houses (up to house number 9 or 10) are still within the former ramparts, their further course was expanded from 1836 to later become a district road. Today it starts at the former Wallstrasse as a bypass around the town center. The road was also the direct connection to the Niers flowing east of Süchteln with the mill mentioned in 1404 and the planned north canal. To the north of it the Süchteln Canal Harbor was to be created. From the middle of the 19th century, isolated, agricultural or small-scale buildings between Wallstrasse and Niers are to be expected; the oldest surviving houses in the two-storey, eaves-facing row from house numbers 42 to 56 date from the 1870s. On the opposite side there was a brickworks and from 1898, roughly in place of the planned port, the municipal gas works. Urban planning impetus was developed on the one hand by the construction of two representative public buildings on the south side of the street, the monastery and hospital from 1860/61 and the town hall from 1898/99, and on the other hand from 1870 the railway line on the route of the unfinished north canal with a train station south the street. As a result, Tönisvorster Strasse was temporarily called Bahnstrasse or Bahnhofstrasse (from 1925 Krefelder, from 1970 Tönisvorster Strasse). As a result of the station, an industrial area developed south of Tönisvorster Strasse. In 1898/99, the municipality moved its town hall from the center of the town to Tönisvorster Strasse, where it now stood between the growing industrial and residential area around the station and the old town center. Its neo-renaissance facade, based on the Dülkener model, served as a focal point for the Ratsallee, which was laid out in the 1920s. The two residential and commercial buildings Tönisvorster Strasse 17/19 and 23/25 opposite the town hall and hospital mark the entrance to the “Neustadt” to the north. A dispensation from the building authorities had to be obtained for its three-storey building. In addition to the new town hall, the city operated a second large public building project in 1898/99, the gas works in the northern corner of the district road and railway line; today the Johannes Kepler secondary school is located in its place. While the north side of Tönisvorster Strasse today shows a rather inconsistent development on the arterial road, the south side with the council and hospital as well as the two-storey eaves houses with plastered facade from the 1870s (Tönisvorster Strasse 42, 44, 46, 48, 56) still has a vivid historical character . In the curve to the Holtz-Mühle, an important focal point out of town, is the simple late-classicist residential building Tönisvorster Strasse 61, winner of the 1999 Rheinischer Denkmalpreis. Monument value: As a hospital with over 125 years of tradition at the same location and a testament to the institutionalization of medical care in the 19th century, the building at Tönisvorster Str. 26 is important for Süchteln, City of Viersen. It is the only essentially still vividly preserved hospital building from the 19th century in the urban area of ​​Viersen. There is a public interest in its preservation and use for urban planning reasons. When Süchteln expanded towards the train station, Tönisvorster Strasse became part of a typical urban expansion area with a mixture of public buildings, residential buildings, shops, restaurants, small craft and industrial businesses. This is still largely understandable today. Together with the town hall, the hospital building forms an urban dominant feature of two relatively large and high-quality structures, of which the hospital steps back slightly behind a front garden, which results in a relaxed staggering. While the town hall is designed in a bourgeois style (neo-renaissance), the hospital bears signs of its church sponsorship. Its brick architecture with quotations from Romanesque and Gothic was z. B. also common in parsonages or monastery buildings from this period. Only in the course of the architectural reform discussion after the turn of the century was this - also inexpensive and functional - style perceived as too simple. B. the Irmgardis pen received a more elaborate brick plaster facade. The street front and the right-hand gable side facing the town hall and the city (wall and roof surfaces) are seen as defining the cityscape, while the eastern (left) side and the garden front are less important because of the changes that have taken place. The architectural-historical testimony value is shaped by the generally typical building structure of the 19th century. It can be experienced through the development of all rooms through central corridors. Their various tile coverings with large motifs have a lasting impact on this floor plan. It was not until later in the 20th century that the hospital system was replaced by reform ideas, also in its structural form, with single-hip systems that ensure better ventilation and lighting.	1871 / 1897–98	Dec 17, 2007	476
	Residential building	Suchteln Tönisvorster Strasse 61 map	It is a stately two-storey, eaves-standing residential building on the eastern arterial road out of Süchteln. The house is in an extremely striking location in terms of urban development, as the busy country road describes a curve exactly in front of it. Two linden trees placed symmetrically in front of the house give the location an additional character. The five-axis entrance front has plaster blocks on the ground floor. A narrow plastered area is demarcated above the central entrance, in which there may have been a lettering (for the grocery store that was located here until the 1930s?). A cornice emphasizes the horizontal positioning of the building, as does a strong, profiled eaves cornice. The pan-covered gable roof has no extensions. Two small chimney heads sit on the gable tops. The converted attic receives its light through the small arched windows in the side gables. The side gable facing the street is structured by four window axes and the ledge around the storey. Today there is a small garden behind a high brick wall facing the Niederstrasse. During the most recent restoration, the front door was reconstructed using old parts (lattice; combat wood), and the windows and interior doors were also renewed according to the old model. The floor plan has been preserved with its characteristic central corridor (old stone floor on the ground floor) and the wooden stairs at the back, as well as wooden floorboards in the rooms. So far, no further details could be determined about the history of the house. Based on the shapes, a development between the middle of the 19th century and around 1880 at the latest can be assumed to be likely. What is striking is its prominent location, in front of which the road that goes by, it seems, deliberately bends. In addition, it is located in the immediate vicinity of the course of the former north canal, so that in the past the assumption has often been made that it might be related to this. So far, however, no evidence has been found for this, and the comparatively late date of origin makes this seem unlikely. There is also no evidence of whether there is a connection with the factory buildings that were formerly connected to the rear. The building at Tönisvorster Strasse 61 in Süchteln (City of Viersen) is a well-preserved (and recently exemplary restored) example of the simple late Classicist-Biedermeier residential architecture from around the middle of the 19th century. Characteristic here are v. a. the horizontally positioned building on a simple rectangular floor plan and with a simple roof shape as well as the well-proportioned, symmetrical facades, which derive their structure without ornamentation solely from the distribution of the openings and the simple cornices. This corresponds to the appropriately simple floor plan inside. Formally, it stands out clearly from the playfulness and ornamentation of the subsequent (historicist) architectural styles. Even if the origin and construction history of the house must remain in the dark, its location at least bears witness to the gradual outgrowth of Süchteln from its medieval town center in the 19th century; a formerly prominent function cannot be ruled out; its use as a grocery store in the early 20th century is known. It is therefore important for the city of Viersen. On Tönisvorster Strasse, it forms a focal point (out of the city) of great urban charm that is visible from afar, to which the two linden trees in front of the building, in addition to the recently revised architectural quality, also contribute. A historically characteristic country road situation can still be clearly experienced here. There is therefore a public interest in its preservation and use for urban planning reasons. The building Tönisvorster Straße 61 is important for Viersen. There is a public interest in its preservation and use for urban planning reasons. It is therefore an architectural monument in accordance with Section 2 of the NRW Monument Protection Act.	Mid 19th century	June 23, 1999	372
more pictures	Villa Holtz	Suchteln Tönisvorster Strasse 97 map	In 1875, Franz Holtz, a councilor for commerce, had a house built next to the mill. The two-storey Wilhelminian style villa with a mansard roof is 5 axes wide. Its west side is 3-axis, the east side 4-axis. The entrance to the latter is next to a single-storey extension. Towards the rear, park-like garden, the building opens up with two short wings in the manner of French city palaces. The central axis on the street side is emphasized by an arbor on the ground floor and a neo-baroque decoration of the central dormer on the mansard floor. The brick plaster facade, in the basement as square plaster, bears neo-baroque stucco ornaments (gable sculptures, ornamental vases, volutes). Double strips and partly blown roofs over the windows structure the facades. A wrought iron grille delimits the property from the street. Inside the villa you can still find the original plank and tile floors, stucco ceilings, stuccoed tympana over the interior doors, wooden doors and wooden frames, wall divisions, stucco pilaster strips with stucco capitals, wooden folding inner shutters on the windows and in the dominant stairwell a wooden staircase with a turned railing. The quality of the interior fittings and the unity of the exterior architecture from a single source reveal the artistic intent of the time of origin. The factory owner's villa with landscaped garden documents the private bourgeois prosperity of Wilhelminian entrepreneurship in its contemporary architecture and furnishings. As a fitting contemporary counterpart to the work and production facility of modern milling technology, it is socially and historically significant. As an essential part of the Holtzmühle industrial monument, it must be regarded as an important testimony to the economic development history of Süchteln. Therefore it should be preserved and used for scientific, in particular contemporary and social history as well as economic history and architectural history reasons according to § 2 (1) Monument Protection Act.	around 1875	Jan. 11, 1985	11
	Holtzmühle	Suchteln Tönisvorster Strasse 99 map	History: The Holtzmühle, located at the confluence of Rheinstrasse and Tönisvorster Strasse, is a striking eye-catcher and has a long tradition. In its first documentary mention, the certainly much older mill on the Niers is called "Mill on the Nersen" fly mill. In 1404 it passed from the possession of the Pantaleon Abbey in Cologne to Duke Reinald IV of Jülich and Geldern, who pledged it to the Lords of Horst, who lived near Liedberg. It was not until the end of the 15th century that it came into unlimited possession of the sovereigns. The residents of the Süchteln court compulsion had to have their grain ground either on the Niersmühle or on the Hagenbroich windmill. Later the mill was finally acquired in 1792 by the miller Franz-Anton Holtz, whose family had owned the mills in Dülken for centuries. Now the wood mill, operated as an oil and grain mill, became widely known. Around 1890, the Heien (vertical pounders) used to extract linseed oil, which was pressed from linseed, were replaced by machine presses. Around 1920 the oil production of the Holtzmühle was stopped and the grain mill was leased from then on. When the Niers was straightened in the 1930s, the large paddle wheels of the Holtzmühle were shut down. The mill, threatened by decay, was restored by the current owner in 1982/83. Significant parts of the original mill construction were found on the single-storey wing in the south-east corner of the multi-wing brick building (formerly part of the renovation of the waterwheel). Large ashlar stones, exposed again today, used to secure the grinder. Today the X-shaped anchor pins and the circular opening for the mill wheel shaft can be seen again. Description: The white brick building, which was probably built in different phases of construction in the 19th century, most of which was built before 1880, is multi-winged and has three floors. Its flat gable roof is hidden behind a high, decorative pinnacle wreath with individual pinnacles raised over the main axes and on the corners of the building, as well as stepped pinnacles on the narrow sides. This crowning of the wall is emphasized by a surrounding brick-walled arched frieze. The partly blind, narrow, high arched windows underneath are arranged in pairs and sit axially above the partly segmented and partly arched windows on the two lower floors. Almost all window and door openings are original (exception, for example, are the three windows on the east side that have been enlarged to form arched entrance doors). The window sills are made of stone or are brick-walled. Most of the windows have preserved cast frames; Most of the cast-iron bars have been preserved in their original form. The rung division was retained. On the south and west side there are planked exits on the first floor. The wheel for loads is still preserved on the south side. The anchor pins have been preserved on all sides of the building, some in plate form. Inside, the beam ceilings have only been renewed where necessary. The cast-iron, load-bearing columns on the ground floor and the six round wooden columns supporting the central purlin on the first floor (two of which are freely visible) are original, as are the exposed beam structures and the studs in the attic. The Holtzmühle, originally also shaping the landscape, today an outstanding marking on the way to Süchteln, is significant in terms of settlement topographical and settlement history. Important for the history of the Süchteln watermills is the centuries-old tradition of the miller's trade, which went on well into the 20th century. The change from the water-driven mill wheel to the modern age of technical machines can also be seen. The structural extensions of the 19th century can be seen along with this in terms of content. Because the Holtzmühle is a very typical and now rare example of the formulation of the then modern industrial buildings in medieval castle style for the 19th century. The building is important for the history of industrial architecture, especially since the remains of an older mill building are still in it and are partly visible. For scientific, in particular settlement topographical, settlement and architectural-historical reasons, today shaping the street scene, furthermore as a testimony to the miller's trade in the transition to industrial-machine production technology and ultimately as a document for the creative power of an entrepreneurial family important for the Süchteln area, especially the early days of the last century , preservation and use of the Holtzmühle are in the public interest according to § 2 (1) Monument Protection Act.	before 1880	Jan. 11, 1985	10
	Residential building	Dülken Turmstrasse 3 map	The detached villa was built in 1907 for the businessman Johann Berger and was built on two floors on what was then Rathausstrasse by the entrepreneur Th. Hoffmanns. Located in the immediate vicinity of the former high school, it was bought 10 years later by the headmaster at the time, Dr. Andreas Barth. The building has five axes, with the entrance axis with a balcony being set back. The two axes on the left are drawn together and gabled. The corner to the entrance is beveled and provided with an axis of narrow windows. The windows with skylights are covered on the ground floor with a fan rosette. The plastered facade with historicizing decorative shapes is designed with various decorative motifs, such as an animal head on the beam above the entrance, floral decorations with the builder's initials on the gable facing the street, as well as the simple structure of the wall surface of the gable to the former high school. The artistic ironwork of the entrance gate in Art Nouveau forms is also remarkable. It was restored from the garden gate that was originally partially destroyed in the war. Furthermore, the window to the corridor has been preserved in colored lead glazing with a "landscape motif". Inside the building there is the original flooring in the hallway as well as the wooden stairs and room doors with frames and panels. There are also stucco ceilings with different shapes in the rooms. The rooms on the upper floor are equipped with cove friezes. The ornate facade design and the furnishings have largely been left in their original condition. The representative villa is part of the urban ensemble around the old town hall. It characterizes the typical facade design of the stately house around 1900, which here reflects the historical cityscape. For scientific, in particular urban planning and architectural-historical reasons, the maintenance and use of the Turmstrasse 3 building in accordance with Section 2 (1) of the Monument Protection Act are in the public interest.	1907	May 13, 1993	324
	Residential building doctor's office	Viersen Ummerkirchweg 93 map	The building at Ummerkirchweg 93 was built in 1884 for the country doctor Dr. Johann Heinrich Fliescher built. The Duisburg construction company Weiland & Brocker is the author of the plan. The complex consists of a stately two-storey, brick-facing residential building on a slightly transverse rectangular floor plan with a hipped roof and three originally single-storey wing buildings around an inner courtyard on the rear. The front sides of these outbuildings, which house the utility rooms, coach house and above all the doctor's practice rooms, protrude beyond the line of the residential building, so that a separate entrance for the practice can be arranged on the right front side. The entrance to the house is on the right. Of the five window axes on the front, the middle one is slightly projected as a flat risalit and ends with a stilted triangular gable roof. Like these, the roofs on the other upper floor windows are also made of brick. The wall surface is also divided by storey and sill cornices. In each of the regular window axes, an additional small mezzanine opening leads over to the white projecting crown of the roof. The preserved historical windows have the typical T-division. The regular axis structure is basically continued on the entry side, but the left of the three axes is designed with window windows. The entrance with the original two-winged front door with skylight sits on a few steps with cheek walls raised in the central axis. An open veranda was added to the left of the house in 1922. The back of the house is plastered. Three-part windows are arranged on the ground floor and the central axis is recognizable as the stairwell axis through upwardly offset windows, the lower lead glazed, the upper with a round arch and wedge. The interior of the house is unusually original in essential elements. The floor plan is unchanged. From the front door, the entrance hall initially extends to the middle, where the stairwell on the right then leads upwards or the rear exit leads outside. The entire floor area is covered with ornamental tiles from the construction period. The staircase is designed to have two tracks with a turning platform, with a simple beginner and turned balusters. Valley and mirror profiles shape the ceilings of hallways and stairwells; the transition between the two is accentuated by wall pilasters and a multi-profiled "entablature". Frame-panel doors with associated walls are preserved throughout the house. Both on the ground floor and on the upper floor, stucco ceilings with a valley profile and central rosette decorate the living rooms. The ground floor shows the classic division of a large salon and an adjoining living room connected by a wide passage to the front and a kitchen to the rear. Further details such as the handles and fittings of the old windows or preserved inner folding shutters contribute to the harmonious historical room image. The rear buildings, which are also brick-view, are grouped after the residential building with three wings around a courtyard. In 1935 a second floor was added to the left and rear wings. Originally, utility rooms and a coach house with a horse stable for the country doctor's carriage were housed here. The increase is used to create an apartment for employees on the upper floor. The practice rooms in the right, single-storey wing, originally preserved in the floor plan, are remarkable. Two adjacent entrances in the front wall lead directly from the house on the one hand, and on the other from outside initially into a waiting room, which is followed by the consulting room. A wooden portal porch with slender pillars paired at the front, as well as openwork parapets and beams decorate the outer entrance, the entrance door of which has also been preserved. Recently, modern garage doors have been installed next to the practice rooms, but these only marginally disturb the positive overall impression. Formerly there is a passage into the courtyard, which is still recognizable today by a pointed gable with a stepped brick frieze. Above the old driveway, old inscription stones from the builders are set into the wall, the oldest quoted above is: “Dr. Joh. Heinr. / Fliescher / Margarethe / Schürkes / 1884. “There is also an old nameplate next to the house entrance as a reminiscence of the former residents. A fence made of lancet lattice on a base wall between pillars closes off the spacious property to the front of the street. Old trees, including an alley from the entrance to the passage into the courtyard, which can still be seen in the beginning, contribute significantly to the overall appearance of the complex. The owner of the property, Dr. Johann Heinrich Fliescher (June 12, 1850 - July 26, 1904) comes from the Fliescherhof in Helenabrunn. As a doctor he settled in Helenabrunn in 1880, married Margarethe Schürkes in 1881, the daughter of the owner of the neighboring farm, and was a doctor for the poor for the Heimer and Hamm section. Doctors for the poor receive a state annual lump sum for which they have to treat sick poor people free of charge in a district allocated to them. Doctors can also receive payment from wealthy citizens. In general, “modern”, institutionalized structures are being developed in the area of ​​health care in the 19th century, also with regard to training and professional status. Dr. Fliescher is one of the early resident doctors in Viersen. As a country doctor for the settlement areas around Helenabrunn and Heimer, he will have had a special meaning for the local community, which the general fame of his name suggests to this day. After his early death in 1904, after a short transition period, his son Dr. Alphons Fliescher (23 Sept. 1883 - 26 Oct. 1937) the practice. After he too died at the age of 54, his son-in-law Dr. Josef Empt after. The tradition of this family of doctors still exists in Viersen today. It is a stately, tastefully designed house from the late 19th century. Outside and inside it has been preserved in its original form to an unusually high degree, down to the smallest detail. Its exterior, designed with regular rows of axes and the partitioning of the walls with pilaster strips, window canopies and flat risalits, represents a late classicist and rural style of construction, which, together with the rear wings, is strongly reminiscent of representative farms that took over “urban” forms of that time. Typologically of interest is the way in which the use as a doctor's house was implemented in the arrangement of the practice rooms. Since the establishment of a trained medical profession did not develop significantly until the end of the 19th century, there was no specific form for this young building project at the time of construction in the 1880s. The necessary waiting and treatment rooms are initially usually added to the residential building in the form of other secondary uses (cf. office rooms) or integrated into the building structure, whereby a strict distinction must be made between private and public areas. In accordance with its rural location and function, this is done based on a courtyard, with public and internal access being simply but cleverly separated. Only later do more complicated floor plan solutions develop in medical centers, such as those used in B. shows the house at Viersener Straße 13 in Dülken. The residential and doctor's house Ummerkirchweg 93 is the seat of the rural doctors responsible for the settlement, the Dr. Fliescher and Dr. Empt meaning for Viersen. Due to the very good preservation of its original conception, design and equipment, there is a public interest in its preservation and use for the scientific reasons, in particular architectural and local history reasons. It is therefore a monument in its entirety, including the rear practice and utility wing, the stylistically adapted veranda and the street-side enclosure.	1884	0May 6, 2003	441
	Immeshof	Viersen Ummerstraße 46 map	History: to Immenhaus (16th century) -Immes, Timmes (Mackes, No. 136, p. 280) Description: The former stable house stands on the gable facing Ummerstrasse. The asymmetrical, but otherwise typical brick gable forms one of the 3 sides of the farmyard, the rest of the courtyard buildings of which occupied the same position in 1812. The gable corresponds to the tradition of the Lower Rhine stable house. The two small windows over the sides corresponded to an equally small one in the loft under the half-hip roof. These, as well as the doors and windows on the ground floor, were enlarged in 1843. A sandstone plaque bears the designation HK CS 1827 JHS. In 1843 the north-west gable (weather side), at the northern corner of which the cellar, above which the "Opkamer" lies, was renewed. It still shows the half-timbered construction - despite some wood replaced by brick. Inside, the unity of the unchanged floor plan (4 bays) and traditional furnishings is surprising: wooden beam ceilings, doors with curved panels and 2 chimneys with strongly profiled wooden cornices (18th century). A pump with work pieces made of brass and copper (early 19th century) and a large sink have been preserved intact. The rich furnishings from the 18th century (milk cupboard, Aachen cupboard, cradle, chests) round off the harmonious impression of a cohesive whole. For scientific, in particular architectural, historical and folkloric reasons, the preservation and use of the building are in the public interest according to § 2 (l) of the Monument Protection Act.	17th century / 1843	03rd June 1987	147
	Stappenhof	Viersen Ummerstrasse 68 map	History: ter Stappen, (1382) - Stappen - Craenen (1384) of Alert Kran's Hof opens in 1408 in the Stappenhof. (Mackes, No. 140, p. 280) (In the body profit register of 1408 Albert Kraen had to pay 31 deniers, 1 chicken and 18 deniers as prize money to the Fronhof of St. Gereon.) Description: The residential stable of the 4-wing brick courtyard is with the gable facing the farm yard. The stately building on a T-shaped floor plan was built around 1800 in 5 yokes. The simple (stable) gable on the south side with irregular window structure and neoclassical front door is preceded on the north side by a 2-storey neoclassical residential building with a hipped roof and triangular gable as a transverse building. It is divided symmetrically in 5 axes, the windows with muntin division in block frames, like the excellent door with skylight, have been preserved in their original form. Half of the single-storey side of the stable has been converted for residential purposes. Inside you can see tiled floors, (1900) elaborate built-in cupboards with a profiled finish and original doors with frames and panels; In the living area, there are elaborate, good woodwork (stairs, paneling and window soffit) from more recent times as well as visible and clad wooden beam ceilings. (Residential side similar to the "Kamphof", Bebericher Straße 175) The surrounding brick courtyard buildings were built in the 19th century and in 1908 were changed or expanded. In 1937 Heinrich Stappen built a barn. In summary, it should be mentioned again that the residential stable building on the one hand belongs to an important type, on the other hand there is an important evidence of the development towards the T-type. This type, which often occurs in the northern Lower Rhine region, faces the closed courtyard south of Viersen. For scientific, in particular architectural, historical and folkloric reasons, the preservation and use of the building according to Section 2 (1) of the Monument Protection Act are in the public interest.	around 1800	June 20, 1989	200
	former flax spinning mill, twisting mill	Dülken Venloer Straße 10a map	In an outline of Dülken's industrial history, Josef Brocher introduces the chapter on the textile industry as follows: “The first branch of industry to gain a foothold as such in Dülken was the twisting branch, for the emergence of which the important flax cultivation in our area was decisive. In order to properly appreciate the importance of flax production as well as the production of linen thread that emerged from it, we have to deal in more detail with the person of the man who became the founder of the thread industry thanks to his enterprising spirit and determination: Gerhard Mevissen. "(Kellenbenz, Hermann , The northern Rhineland, in: Franz Petri / Georg Droege (eds.), Rheinische Geschichte, Volume 3, Economy and Culture in the 19th and 20th Centuries, Düsseldorf 1979, p. 43) adds: “The machine yarn only found in the 20s and 30s more widespread, especially in the Kempen district. One of the main focuses of the linen twisting mill was Dülken, among the manufacturers we find Gerhard Mevissen ... “. Brocher briefly describes the career of the master blacksmith's son, Arnold Mevissen, who was born in 1776: apprenticeship in Rietmacher, 1798 installation of the first twisting chair in his parents' apartment on Kirchstrasse. 1803 Expansion of the Gerhard Mevissen company by three more twist mills in-house. After Elisabeth Gierling's marriage in 1814, acquisition of the Heisterchen house on Langen Strasse, there operation of a hand-twisting mill in the side wing. In 1830 his son Gustav, born in 1815, joined the company, who gained experience with machine operation in England in 1838. There Gustav visits the large flax spinning mill of Marshall & Co. in Holbeck near Leeds, whose (still existing) huge new factory building with a copy of an Egyptian temple front accommodated 1250 workers. What was important about Mevissen Junior's visit was the establishment of a business relationship for flax export, but above all the insight into the technical production process (cf. Martin Schumacher, Auslandsreisen deutscher Unternehmer 1750–1851 with special consideration of Rhineland and Westphalia, Cologne 1968, p. 158) . In 1841 Gerhard Mevissen then built his first machine-operated factory on Westwall / the corner of Venloer Strasse, with the new experience of his son, which has been powered by an English steam engine since 1845. For Gustav Mevissen, who moved to Cologne before 1841, his brother-in-law Franz Wilhelm Königs took over the management of the twisting mill, which was soon supplemented by a rope dyeing and finishing department. Gerhard Mevissen dies in 1843 and FW Königs becomes operations manager. In 1854 he opened a flax spinning mill on Westgraben, which soon turned out to be too small. In a contract dated March 23, 1853, Gustav Mevissen had signed a contract with the Prussian Ministry of Commerce to build a mechanical flax spinning mill with at least 5000 spindles, for which he was to receive a subsidy of 6 thalers per spindle. It opened in 1854, and in 1860 its own bleaching facility was set up on the Boisheimer Nette. Goltstein had set up the system with English machines; it started with 2,500 spindles. Around 1858, 278 workers were employed, 4 steam engines with 118 hp drove 2,808 spindles (see Gerd Blume, Die heimische Flaxsspinnerei im 19. Century, - in: Heimatbuch des Landkreis Kempen / Krefeld, 1968, p. 111f.). From 1864 new, larger factory buildings were built for the spinning business, in 1866 the whole company moved to Bruchweg, where the large-scale operation of the (since 1871) "Niederrheinischen Flax Mill AG" was established (cf. Stadtarchiv Viersen, Gewerbeakte Dülken, 4272, 1867/1886). The twisting mill on the Westwall is still in operation, but according to the commercial files it moves after 1867, but it no longer exists in the new location in 1886. Description: The two factory buildings erected in 1841 and 1854, as well as parts of the boiler and machine rooms in the north, have been preserved from the former Gerhard Mevissen flax twisting and spinning mill complex between Venloer Straße, Westwall and Westgraben. 1) In the east, the two-storey saddle roof brick building of the twisting mill rises up with 8 to 3 axes. The over 26 m long structure tapers to the north from 9 m to 8 m wide. High arched windows with blue stone sills illuminate the interior, while arched arches enliven the smooth brick facades, which are horizontally structured by a simple cornice. Simple cast-iron round supports with cast-on transmission flanges support the vaulted cap ceiling, which is clamped between the fish-belly curved flanges of the cast beams. Four forged tie rods run in the longitudinal direction of the building, which are braced with plate anchors on the outside of the gable. The cast iron girders on the ground floor are also secured with plate anchors. In both stone-clad floors, the drainage channels for the wet operation of the flax twisting mill still run in their original condition. The southern outer gable shows traces of an originally almost as high extension, possibly the former rope dyeing and finishing. 2) The two-and-a-half-storey building of the mechanical flax spinning mill from 1854 is located on the western, opposite side of the courtyard and is offset to the south. Facade division and window sizes change here. The spinning mill also has arched windows with overlapping arches, which, like those of the twisting mill, show natural stone sills. A row of blind arcades extends under a simple eaves cornice, which is broken through in three places by small window openings. The stairwell shows two ox eyes with overlapping arches and two Tudor arched windows with overlapping via two door openings. The southern half-hip gable supports a roof house which may originally have included an elevator device for storing raw materials in the attic. In the interior of the spinning mill, cast supports with cast-on transmission flanges also support the floor slab, although here it is designed as a wooden beam ceiling. It is conceivable that the interior work here does not date from the time it was built in 1854. 3) Most of the enclosing walls of the nacelle to the north have been preserved; a more precise finding was not possible due to the new roof construction and the wood stored there. The masonry that has been preserved, however, clearly dates from the period between 1841 and 1854 and, according to the overall arrangement, can only have included the boiler and machine house. The parts of the factory that originally existed on the other side of Venloer Strasse (cf. site plan from Werner Mellen, Rheinische Kunststätten, issue 323, Viersen, Cologne 1987, p. 22) have not been preserved. Meaning: The parts described under 1 to 3 of the mechanical flax twisting and spinning mill Gerhard Mevissen, which was built from 1841 to 1854, is a monument within the meaning of Section 2 Paragraph 1 of the Monument Protection Act of North Rhine-Westphalia. The facility is important for cities and settlements as well as for the development of working and production conditions. Scientific reasons speak in favor of preservation, especially in three areas: 1. The plant is important as early evidence of the beginning of mechanized textile production based on the English model, for which it also adopted the architectural and structural model from the motherland of the industrial revolution. The cast supports of the twisting mill and the fish girders of the ceiling construction are among the earliest examples of this construction technique in Germany (see Ermen and Engels in Engelskirchen, late 1830s). 2. The buildings are the oldest remaining evidence of the flax processing that was fundamental to the economic development of Dülken and was built before and around the middle of the 19th century. 3. The company is closely connected to Gustav (later von) Mevissen, a figure of entrepreneur, banker and politician who is highly important for the entire Rhenish economic life. With the two foundations in the textile sector in Dülken and Düren, he also manifests himself directly as an entrepreneur. 4. The technical-historical concern is also of importance, which results from the still completely preserved facilities of the wet operation of a flax processing. There are therefore technical, architectural, economic, local and regional historical reasons for the monument value.	1841	Nov 26, 1992	312
	Residential building	Dülken Venloer Straße 12 map	The two-storey group of houses with a pitched roof and rear buildings, built in the middle of the 19th century on the site of the former city moat of Dülken, forms an almost symmetrical block with house number 16. Houses 12 and 16 have a right-angled floor plan and are adapted to the course of the former Bruchstrasse. Presumably, the higher storey house was built in the middle of the vacant lot and was given a trapezoidal floor plan. The façades are given a vertical emphasis by the strict symmetry of the window axes and the high rectangular window openings. No. 12: The building Venloer Straße 12 consists of the front building and the two-storey extension Westgraben No. 1, also with a gable roof. The Venloer Straße facade is divided into six axes and the door is off-center on the fourth axis from the left. Ceiling anchors are visible on the gable side. The facade to the Westgraben is divided into four axes, whereby the window openings are partially closed with masonry or plastered surfaces. The door is on the left axis. The windows have been renewed this century and consist of two wings and a one-piece skylight. A special feature is the vaulted cellar located in the rear part, half of which underpins building No. 14. No. 14: The building is divided into four axes. The original entrance door consists of a frame with filling elements and is still in very good condition in the second axis from the left. The entrance is highlighted by a surround. The ceiling anchors are located in the fields between the axes. The emphasis on the upper floor is unusual. The window openings are larger than on the ground floor in accordance with the height of the storey, but are divided into a two-wing window divided into six parts and a two-part skylight. Doors and windows are covered with brick arches and have a prefabricated window sill. The original facade on the back of building no. 14 was divided into three axes, with a gate in the two right axes. However, because of its completely dilapidated substance, it could not be preserved. Both buildings were gutted in 1981 and converted into apartments, so that only the facades remained. The two buildings represent typical residential houses from the middle of the 19th century. The clear structure of the plastered brick facade as well as the window division and window sills are characteristic. Furthermore, they form the spatial end of Theodor-Frings-Allee. The use and maintenance of the building complex is in the public interest for scientific reasons, in particular for urban planning and architectural reasons, in accordance with Section 2 (1) Monument Protection Act.

	Residential building	Dülken Venloer Straße 24 map	The two-storey residential building with a gable roof extends along Venloer Strasse, which at the time followed the open Mosell (Nette). The facade of the house is divided into six axes, with the two right axes being combined in the slightly forward entrance. The original entrance door is covered in front of a flat stucco gable. The window openings on the upper floor are covered with a round arch. Overall, the late classicist plastered facade is divided horizontally through the base, sill and cornice as well as the flat window gables and the ashlar plaster on the ground floor and the base area. Inside the building, the original floor tiles and the stucco work on the wall and ceiling have been preserved in their original condition in the entrance area. The glass work in the colored hallway windows in the form of polished, floral decor (oak leaves) is remarkable. Particularly noteworthy are the stucco ceilings preserved with the original painting in two rooms on the ground floor. The finely proportioned building from the 2nd half of the 19th century with good stucco work has largely been left in its original condition. In addition, the elaborate facade and interior fittings from the last century, typical of the time, characterize the contemporary building type of the stately residential building with a more urban character, which here reflects the historical cityscape. For scientific, in particular architectural and historical reasons, the maintenance and use of the building is in the public interest in accordance with Section 2 (1) of the Monument Protection Act.	2nd half of the 19th century	0Apr 4, 1986	92
	Kaiser-Friedrich-Bad	Dülken Venloer Straße 40 map	The building of the former Kaiser-Friedrich-Bad, which is in a corner location that defines the situation, was built as a bathing establishment for the city of Dülken in 1903 according to the plans of the Viersen architect Esser. The L-shaped facility consists of a two-storey reception building, which is adjoined on one side by a side wing (the planned possible expansion of a symmetrically opposite wing was no longer possible), as well as a rear swimming pool. This two-storey hall wing has a raised central nave above the swimming pool and lower side aisles, which are separated by supports connected by flat pointed arches. The changing rooms were located here. The facades of the building are structured by brick walls and plastered areas and the arrangement of the windows. The brick zone of the basement floor rises partially offset up to the upper floor windows, frames the large entrance portal, pulls up as a corner pilaster strip of the protruding gable front to the verge and leaves only geometrically precise plastered areas. The red bricks are used as a design element for the arches and as shaped bricks for the sills. The front gable side is designed with pronounced symmetry. Above the dominant portal, which was modeled on the original condition according to old photos during the restoration, is the year 1903 and the words "Kaiser-Friedrich-Bad". A bronze statue of this ruler used to stand in the center above it in a niche with separate consoles. The fencing wall with the lattice is no longer preserved. But an outside staircase with bricked side walls leads to the entrance portal. Inside, another staircase leads to the vaulted entrance hall. Here the cross vault is supported by green glazed brick wall services. Only fragments of the casein technique wall painting designed by H. Schmitz in the hall in the hall to the right and left of the staircase can be seen, as some of them are still painted over. On the approx. 4 × 4 m large pictures, two sailing boats can be seen on a large expanse of water on the right-hand side of the entrance, and two white swans, also on a water-surface, on the left-hand side of the entrance. This wall painting is unusual for a bathing establishment. Both pictures can be restored after the walls have dried out and the overcoats have been scraped off. A number of the curved wooden door frames in the entrance hall are still original. Likewise the two arched windows there that point into the basement. The roof landscape of the building is mainly designed as a crooked hip, walls and turrets are covered with roof tiles. As a result of the renovation, the interior has been replaced by apartments and a doctor's office. The swimming pool is still under renovation. Apartments are also to be built there. As a result of this conversion, features and floor plan as well as details (tile floors) of the swimming pool are lost. On the upper floor there possibly visible parts of the roof structure could be retained. Overall, the facades and windows must be left as they are. In particular, the large ogival windows on the upper floor of the swimming pool must be preserved. Preservation and use of the building of the former Kaiser-Friedrich-Bad are in the public interest for scientific, in particular for cultural-historical (here: hygiene and bathing), local and architectural-historical as well as urban planning reasons according to § 2 (1) Monument Protection Act.	1903	Jan. 18, 1985	20th
	Home and office	Dülken Venloer Straße 50 map	The building Venloer Straße 50 in Dülken was built between 1860 and 1865 by the entrepreneur Mathias Bücklers as a residential building (with an office) for himself and his family. It is a two-storey corner villa with an attic storey and a flat sloping roof. Two facades are designed as visible sides: the long side with five window axes to Venloer Straße and the narrow side with the main entrance to the connecting road between Venloer and Gasstraße, which today bears the name Bücklers'. A staircase risalit and a former winter garden vary the otherwise rectangular floor plan towards the rear, a production building (sewing / tailoring) was added to the narrow western side after 1970. The ground floor of the two main facades is structured with a strip of plaster, the attic floor has a plaster mirror; the upper floor is simply plastered. The windows are rectangular; those facing Venloer Straße are accentuated with a simple roofing (a thin entablature on side brackets over a flattened blind arch). The first and second floors are separated from each other by a thin cornice, which reinforces the horizontal position of the structure. The square windows on the attic storey have apparently been enlarged at a later date; Its original size can be read on the narrow western side. The house entrance framed by pilasters with a double-leaf front door on the narrow eastern side is arranged in the middle and is covered by a box bay window with windows on three sides. This rests on expansive volute consoles and is designed in an antique style with a richly profiled entablature zone and a triangular gable. To the right of this highlighted central axis, just another window breaks through the otherwise closed wall on this side. The back is dominated by a uniaxial central projection, which marks the stairwell with a large arched window (currently closed with glass blocks). There is also a small round ocular above. The risalit protrudes slightly over the eaves height of the main structure; On photos from around 1970, a crenellated wreath can still be seen as the upper end. To the left of the risalit, a single-storey former winter garden extends out into the garden; its windows are also currently closed with glass blocks. The back front is otherwise designed in a manner typical of the time, more simply than the front facades, simply plastered and only with narrow panels as window crowns. The interior of the building has suffered from its last use as a manufacturing facility and other modern fittings. Nevertheless, some historical furnishing elements and the room organization including access are still present or recognizable. The main entrance leads to a straight central corridor; to the right of it, in the axis of the risalit, is the staircase with a large, originally preserved, high-quality wooden staircase (straight, two-lane with a change of direction, with turned balusters, circular or band ornaments on the cheeks and pedestal soffits with geometric relief). The ground floor rooms facing Venloer Strasse have now been merged into a single large room. The original room structure is still better preserved on the upper floor (also a central corridor with rooms lined up on both sides); There are also other historical details such as some doors / door frames and stucco ceilings (one with a central rose). In most of the rooms the ceilings have been lowered; possibly other historical ceiling designs have been preserved underneath. The top floor (attic floor) is modern. The entire house has a large vaulted cellar. Client and residents: A biography of Mathias Bücklers from 1941 noted (unfortunately without citing the source) that he had - probably at the beginning of the 1860s - built a large house on Venloer Strasse for himself, his wife and two daughters and that he had his son-in-law and partner Eduard Jansen left his old house on Lange Strasse. In Dülken's address book from 1865, Bücklers can be found at Bruchstrasse 54; In 1879 the address Venloer Straße 26 is given for him ("Bruchstraße" is the old name of the later Venloer Straße). The earliest document in the building file was a building application from 1880, which Eduard Jansen identified as the applicant. Along with Gerhard Mevissen, Johann Mathias Bücklers is the second central entrepreneur in Dülken's early industrial development. In addition to the long-term successful companies he founded and run, this is also evidenced by the fact that his hometown gave him the title of honorary citizen - not least because of charitable foundations such as the Realschule. Bücklers was born on August 6, 1794 in Dülken. His father was a glue boiler and brewer. After an apprenticeship in a reed maker in Elberfeld and military service with captivity during the liberation wars of 1813/14, he lived in Elberfeld until 1818. He then founded his first company in Dülken with Anton Weyers, a flax twining mill, from which he left in 1824. After collaborating with Gerhard Mevissen in the meantime, he and August Königs founded the Königs & Bücklers twisting mill (which operated the region's first steam engine in 1830). 1831–41, Bücklers managed the successful company alone, then with Julius Prell and finally with his son Jakob Bücklers. In 1851 he founded another company, a flax spinning mill, together with Schoeller and Mevissen, of which Jakob Bücklers was director. Finally, in 1866/68, Dülken's first (and only) cotton spinning mill followed, the Bücklers & Jansen company (from 1897: Dülkener Cotton Spinning AG), in which his son-in-law Eduard Jansen was a partner from the start. On August 15, 1889, Bücklers died in Dülken, who was awarded the title of Privy Councilor of Commerce. Dr. Eduard Jansen was born on January 6, 1830 in Dülken. As a doctor, he first practiced in Waldniel before settling in Dülken in 1857. In the same year he married a daughter of Mathias Bücklers (Gertrud Josefine). In 1861 he gave up his practice and became a partner in his father-in-law, first in the twisting mill and then in the newly founded cotton spinning mill Bücklers & Jansen, which was established in 1866/68 on the site of an old wax bleaching facility in the “Viefental” north of the house on the Venloer Street. After the death of Bücklers, Jansen continued to run the company on his own and participated in others (e.g. in the machine factory Burtscheidt, Unrici & Co). He, too, finally held the title of a secret council of commerce and was for a long time chairman of the association of large industrialists of Rhineland and Westphalia and an alderman in his hometown. He died on October 25, 1898. The company Bücklers & Jansen existed until 1932. From this data it can be reconstructed with a high degree of certainty that Bücklers actually had the house at Venloer Straße 50 built around 1861 or shortly after for himself, his wife and daughters, and his new son-in-law Eduard Jansen left the old house on Lange Strasse. When Jansen moved into the villa must remain open (since address books cannot be better defined), especially since it cannot be ruled out that Jansen signed in 1880 for the already very old Bücklers, but did not yet live there. For the recent ownership history of the house, the 1963 building file indicates the sale to the master tailor Delbos. From then on, the house served as a workshop and had to accept an extension and renovation around 1970. Appreciation: In terms of architectural history, the residential building shows the late classicist forms of a compact, closed cubic structure that were common around the middle of the 19th century for this building task, broadly positioned and emphasized horizontally, with a flat or only slightly steep roof over an attic storey. The facade is axially symmetrical and essentially flat (e.g. very flat window canopies and cladding as well as cornices), extensions are designed as independent cubes (box oriel, stairwell projection). The size and design of the house were certainly noteworthy at the time of its construction in the Dülken framework, even if they seem rather “modest” compared to later villas from the turn of the century, but this corresponds to the classicist-bourgeois ideal. In the case of the Bücklers villa in Dülken, as elsewhere, it is of social historical interest that such detached entrepreneurial villas represent a new step in the development of entrepreneurial living. Often around the middle of the century it was representatives of the "second generation" who had these houses built, while the founding generation stayed in the old houses in the city centers (often built-in row houses). Somewhat different and yet comparable is the case here, where the old company founder, Bücklers, moves into the new house, whereas Jansen, the next generation, is still moving into the old house on Lange Straße. As a villa in front of the old town center, on an important arterial road and in connection with the factory behind it (today removed), Bückler's house was a representative, "befitting" building. Despite the meanwhile inappropriate use, the largely preserved exterior as well as the few remaining stucco remains and above all the remarkable staircase even inside testify to this character. This building thus transmits an important part of Dülken's economic and town history, which is also documented with the honorary citizenship and the naming of the street that passes by Bücklers. As the home of one of the city's most important entrepreneurs in the 19th century and then his son-in-law, who both also contributed to the economic and social development of their hometown and the region, the Villa Bücklers, Venloer Straße 50, is important for Viersen ( Dülken). As a substantially still vivid example of an entrepreneur's villa in the typical late classicist forms of the mid-19th century, as a residential building for extremely important personalities from Dülken's local and economic history and, in a broader sense, as the "remainder" of a formerly important factory on the edge of the old town of Dülken ( Bücklers & Jansen), their preservation and sensible use is in the public interest for scientific reasons, in particular for reasons of location, architecture and social history. Due to the prominent corner location, which is expressed in the two main viewing sides, there are urban planning reasons. It is therefore a monument in accordance with Section 2 (1) Monument Protection Act.	1860 u. 1865	June 29, 2000	389
	Kirschhof	Süchteln Vennbruch 35 map	Outside Süchteln in Hagener Bruch, off the streets, lies the Kirschhof, which was previously surrounded by a moat. It belongs to the Lower Rhine hall house type with a 3-part floor plan. Building 16 (3) 8 was erected according to an inscription in the cross beam above the large courtyard gate of the southern stable gable, which is now partly weathered but handed down. It is built in post construction (oak wood construction). Five pairs of uprights carry the cripple roof with slips. The gables are protected by renewed cornice roofs. The dimensions of the floor space of the building are approx. 19.50 m in length and approx. 12.70 m in width. The stands are in the rhythm of approx. 2.00 × 2.00 m (these two compartments form the large chamber), 4.50 m (here the kitchen-living room with fireplace is additionally supported with an additional container that only reaches ceiling height) and 2.00 × 3.50 m and just under 4.00 m in the stable wing. The central nave is approx. 6.00 m wide and the core structure there is more than 6.00 m high. The half-timbered outer walls are lined with field fire bricks. The compartments of the inner walls are almost all made of clay wickerwork. Thin little thresholds lay beneath the framework. The framework is provided with numerous plank-shaped bars at small intervals up to door height. All floors were still tamped with clay until the renovation. Only in the kitchen-living room in front of the fireplace is the preserved floor paved with upright bricks that form squares. These are filled with small river pebbles. The inner structure of the building is almost completely preserved. The head struts are partially cut out in a cross shape. In the living area, the lintel bolts above the doors are designed in the shape of a keel. During the careful renovation (1971–74), the room layout was essentially left as it was. Originally 3 compartments belonged to the stable part. The cowshed with a wide, low door to the outside was located here on the right-hand side, which can still be recognized today by the double lintels in the outer framework of the stable gable. A door connected the stable and the feeding area, while today the side door has been added to the longitudinal outer wall. On the other side of the feed wall was the horse stable, which originally had a narrow stable door to the outside in addition to the door from the wall. Two chambers for grooms are attached to the horse stable. A door from each chamber led to the Deele. A narrow central door leads from the feed wall into the eat-in kitchen. It is dominated by a double chimney whose rear chimney heated the large chamber. The chimney shell of the fireplace in the kitchen-living room is still there. The chimney wall, which is concave in the lower part, is still covered with glazed tiles, the pattern of which consists of two quarter circles each, so that each 4 tiles form a circle in the pattern, which is cut by the quarter circles of the adjacent tiles. The oven next to the fireplace was probably installed later. The kitchen-cum-living-room is illuminated through the windows of the light on the left side. To the east, a narrow corridor leads from the kitchen-cum-living room through the back side to the outside. The laundry and scullery used to be next to it, as there was originally a draw well in front of the house. A few steps led down from the scullery into the half-sunken, formerly brick-paved vaulted cellar, over which the Obkamer lay. The large compartment with the kitchen-cum-living room is followed by two small compartments, which contain the aforementioned large chamber in the central nave. The left side there opens today to the large chamber and is now connected with a door to the outside. Drawn on a map from 1660, the farm probably already bears its name after the owner at the time. It was sold on May 9, 1876 by Peter Mollen to the weaver Andreas Hellengrath, who converted a servant's chamber into a weaving chamber. At that time the original half-timbered outer walls were probably lined with field fire bricks. In the Viersen area, the Kirschhof represented the type of the Lower Rhine hall house with a 3-part central nave, which, like the 2-part hall house type, has historically emerged from the Rauchhaus with a hall-like central nave. The history of the development of the Lower Rhine farmhouse architecture can be shown on it. For scientific, in particular architectural-historical, folklore and settlement topographical reasons, the preservation and use of the Kirschhof is in accordance with § 2 (1) Monument Protection Act in the Public Interest.	1638	Jan. 11, 1985	7th
	Crossroads Venner Strasse	Bergerstraße at the corner of Venner Straße / Kreisstraße 8 map	The natural stone wayside cross consists of a base measuring 135 cm × 99 cm. The height is approx. 2.00 m. The base carries a cross attachment with a height of 225 cm, to which a cast metal body of Jesus with the inscription INRI above is attached. The height of the body measures approx. 95 cm and has recently been restored. A niche for a figure of a saint is incorporated in the base. A plaque with the inscription “Sweetest Jesus, be me not a judge but a blessing maker” let in below. In the lower plinth area, there is a plaque commemorating the fallen and missing in the wars of 1914–1915 and 1939–1945. The year of construction is indicated below with AD 1910. The name of the town of Dülken can be read in the upper area of ​​the base. Probably the place of manufacture. For scientific, in particular art-historical reasons, the preservation of the crossroads is in the public interest according to § 2 (1) Monument Protection Act.	1910	0Oct 9, 1985	73
	Residential building	Dülken Viersener Straße 12 map	Both the interior and the facade are well preserved. The house is positioned on the narrow property in such a way that it has only one room wing on the street side and the entrance wing with the staircase, and behind the entrance wing in the garden there is a long residential extension that protrudes one room wide from the boundary walls into the courtyard. From the end of the 19th century, this floor plan, with the long garden cultivation, is typical for urban houses built using closed construction. With its structure and proportions, the house stands out from the row of neighboring houses and thus becomes a room-defining element. The storeys are higher than those of the neighboring houses. The height of the house is also emphasized by a mansard roof. The house is divided into three axes, with the middle axis in the upper and attic floors being provided with a three-sided bay window. The wall surface of the street facade is lavishly structured with a variety of neo-baroque decor. The facade on the garden side is left in brick. Inside is the old staircase with carved railings. In the entrance area and in the rooms on the upper floor, the stucco ceilings have been preserved, as has the colored stone floor in the entrance area. The house with its well-preserved facade and interior is a testament to one of the architectural trends of the turn of the century. For scientific, in particular architectural-historical as well as space-defining reasons, the preservation and use of the building according to § 2 (l) of the Monument Protection Act are in the public interest.	1905	Nov 10, 1988	187
	Residential building dental practice	Dülken Viersener Straße 13 map	The four-axis wide house is a little behind the road that passes by, and is attached to the gable of the neighboring house on the right. Its eaves position is obscured by a curved gable between the three right axes. The high basement floor with relatively large horizontal windows is rusticated with quarry stones, the ground and upper floors and the gable are simply plastered. The middle two of the unequally wide axes are slightly drawn forward in a risalit; the entrance to the house is raised over two steps on the right. Today, the facade looks largely unadorned, which is mainly due to the loss of the original windows, the front door and a balcony on the upper floor. The profiled window frames, the aedicule-like pilaster frame of the house entrance and the two distinctive stained-glass windows in the skylight of the entrance and on the upper floor of the risalit (formerly exit onto the balcony) have been preserved. The rear of the house has been defaced by various interventions, although it was of little importance from the outset in buildings of this type. The access to the entrance is laid out with a colored ornamental plaster. The pilasters with high pedestals support an entablature on which a large skylight with stained glass in a profiled frame sits. A marble stone with the year 1911 is clamped between the capitals of the pilasters as the lintel of the house entrance. Inside you first enter a vestibule, which leads over several steps to the elevated level of the ground floor or down to the basement. The two-tone marble cladding of the floor and wall sections as well as the windowed wooden connecting door to the hall already suggest the noble interior of the house. From the podium of the vestibule, a door leads into the former dentist's office on the left: first a waiting room and then two "operating rooms", between which a staircase leads down to an associated laboratory in the basement. The actual living rooms are accessed by a central staircase hall ("hall"), on the four sides of which wooden stairs or gallery extend up to the top floor. The hall is illuminated from above through a large multi-colored glass window. The beginners and corner posts of the stairs are in relief or are designed with corner frames and crownings. On the ground floor, the beginners also wear wrought-iron lamp attachments. Half-height wall paneling in relief or link rust cladding on the flights of stairs in the same dark shade of stairs and doors unify the room appearance. The floor of the hall on the ground floor consists of two-tone marble stone slabs, with edges set off by reddish stripes. The third basement exit below the stairs, next to the vestibule and the practice, leads primarily to the kitchen in the basement to the rear, from which an existing freight elevator is used in the same train for transport to the residential floors. In the hall there is also a small marble drinking bowl on pillars on one wall. In addition, ornamented radiators from the construction period have been preserved here and in other rooms. In addition to the practice rooms at the front, the building plan provides for a master and dining room and a veranda on the ground floor to the rear. The latter may have been designed as the closed room today, with ornamental frameworks on the outside, double-sided stained glazing and wall paneling on the inside. Here, as in most of the other rooms in the house, the original doors have been preserved. A double-leaf door with windows connects the “veranda” with the wood-paneled “dining room”. The usual distribution of the rooms accessible from the gallery has been preserved on the two upper floors. From the front bedroom, a multi-colored glass window door with narrow, also colored accompanying windows and skylights leads to the lost exit. The rear balcony, which is accessible through a similar window / door arrangement without stained-glass windows, has been preserved, albeit structurally defaced. The functionally structured basement level with the separate laboratory area at the front and a large central anteroom, former kitchen and an additional housekeeping room in the rear area is remarkable. The residential building at Viersener Straße 13 in Dülken was built in 1910/11 for Franz Röhlen, owner of a dye works on the market. The building contractor Franz Fuesers initially signed the plan as the draftsman. The construction ad is then submitted by the builder Albert Rangette from Dülken. Röhlen did not have the building built for his own use, but for his daughter Ella and her husband Dr. Wilhelm Philipp, who became the first licensed dentist to settle in Dülken in 1909, which is why a doctor's practice is set up in addition to an apartment on the ground floor and basement. The building at Viersener Straße 13 derives its monument value primarily from its extensively preserved interior. The exterior of the house was originally not very conspicuous in terms of dimensions and design. In addition, there are later improper changes. At most, details that are still preserved today, such as the entrance or the stained glazing, indicate the high level of sophistication that fully opens up inside. In particular, comparably spacious staircases with surrounding stairs, marble floors, wood paneling, drinking fountains and large stained-glass light shafts are not yet known in Viersen. But the other living rooms on the ground floor and the typically simpler rooms on the upper floors, with their wall-mounted fittings, also convey extremely vivid, representative living from the beginning of the 20th century. The integration of the front practice rooms across two floors gives the interior room structure additional character. The differentiated functional interlocking of the basement and living area is expressed not least in the existence of three separate exits and an additional elevator. Its noble design, which increases from the outside inwards, makes the house at Viersener Straße 13 in Dülken important for Viersen. It fits in with the character of Viersener Straße, on which representative villas and residential buildings as well as important public buildings and commercial establishments settled in the course of the city's growth from around the second half of the 19th century. For the stated scientific, in particular architectural-historical reasons, there is a public interest in its preservation and use. In addition, there are local historical reasons to a lesser extent, since the practice rooms of the first licensed dentist in Dülken are still legible here. According to § 2 (1) Monument Protection Act, it is therefore an architectural monument.	1910/1911	May 23, 2002	436
	Residential building	Dülken Viersener Straße 26 map	The two-storey corner house facing Corneliusstrasse with a mansard roof was built in 1901. The building is based on the corner in a division of 4: 5 axes. In a corner solution typical for the time of construction, the corner of the house is sloped towards the intersection in the width of a window axis and provided with a single-storey bay window with a strongly accentuated stucco window. Towards the rear garden, the building opens up with two short almost only outlined wings in the style of French city palaces, with a veranda in the middle on the ground floor and a balcony on the upper floor. In 1982, a one-story office extension was added to the original wing extension on one side. On the occasion of the renovation of the house in 1980/81, the roof extension was carried out, whereby roof windows (- the roof structures drawn in in the building plans are missing. They can still be clearly seen on a photo from 1907 over the corner -) and an additional roof balcony were created. The red brick building is vertically structured by the rich stucco-decorated window openings. The partly three- and two-part windows have pointed and round-arched roofs on the upper floor as well as decorative fields with a wreath motif. On both sides of the street there is a drawn-in stairway entrance covered by a balcony. Cornice, cornice and cornice provide additional horizontal structuring. The old windows have had double glazing since the renovation in 1980/81. Aluminum entrance doors were installed improperly in previous years. Inside there is a black and white patterned marble floor in the entrance hallways and on the first floor of the stairwell. Old stucco work has been preserved in the stairwell, in the stairwell access from Viersener Strasse on the walls and ceilings, and on a ceiling on the ground floor. The original wooden staircase with richly decorated railing leads to the attic. The basement has capped ceilings and runs parallel to Viersener Strasse except for the one in the front right of the entrance; There it is one room down the street parallel to Corneliusstrasse. The floor is covered with stone slabs. Due to the original external appearance of both street facades in their brick view and rich stucco decoration in neo-baroque forms, the representative corner building characterizes the street space. For scientific, especially urban, architectural and art-historical reasons, the preservation and use of the building are in the public interest in accordance with Section 2 (l) Monument Protection Act.	1901	Feb. 28, 1985	29
	Residential building	Dülken Viersener Straße 28 map	The semi-detached house at Viersener Straße 28 and 30 was built in 1885 by the master builder Joh. Jos. Gormanns built according to his own design. The construction company had sheds and workshops on the property to the rear; In 1920, a shop was installed in the right-hand part of the house at Viersener Strasse 28, which was dismantled in its old form in the 1990s. The building Viersener Straße 28 is the right half of the built-in semi-detached house, three-story eaves with three of the six window axes. With different colored bricks as well as various surface structures and decorative shapes, the brick facade has a relatively strong relief and lavish decoration. The basic principle of the facade structure is the arrangement of pilaster-like pilaster strips. The segmental arch openings of the tall rectangular doors and windows as well as their parapet and lintel surfaces recede behind the pilasters and therefore appear to be "spanned". While the ground floor is separated from the two floors above it by a cornice, the pilaster strips above extend over two floors in the manner of a colossal order, visually connecting the first and second floors together. The inner surfaces of the pilaster strips as well as the parapets are differentiated by projections and recesses in the brick walling as well as by color changes (yellow bricks in a brownish-red base area), whereby in the capitals of the ground floor pilaster strips and the parapet zones of the ground floor z. Some stylized rosette motifs are used (the latter is only preserved in the left part of the house at Viersener Straße 30). The eaves area above the lower windows on the second floor is accentuated by a console frieze; Formed stones with geometrical ornamentation are again attached between the volute-shaped console stones. The windows have been renewed based on the old shapes (T-division). The entrance with an old two-wing house door and skylight is located above a step in the left axis of the house half and thus forms, with its directly adjacent counterpart, Viersener Straße 30, a slight emphasis on the center of the otherwise serially arranged facade scheme. The interior of the building has retained essential interior details. These include the floor plan with a side entrance corridor leading to the stairwell and rear exit, tiled floor with blue and white square pattern, stucco ceilings with volutes and central rosette in the corridor and front ground floor room, frame panel doors and the original wooden staircase, straight two-way with a turning platform, turned balusters and a candelabra-like shaped starting post. The house has a full basement; the cellar ceiling is designed as a cap ceiling. The rear outbuildings from 1894 were recently removed because they were in disrepair. The twin house Viersener Straße 28/30, together with the neighboring monument Viersener Straße 26 from 1901, is an eye-catcher on Viersener Straße in Dülken. While the latter shows a plastered facade typical of its year of construction with historicizing stucco decor, the brick facade of Viersener Straße 28/30, which is around fifteen years older, is still rooted in late classicism. The structure of the surface is primarily developed from tectonic elements of bearing and loading (pilaster strips and cornices). In addition, the serial arrangement of the pilaster strips with the windows and remaining wall surfaces that are “stretched in between”, which theoretically can be continued indefinitely, almost looks like a skeleton construction. Finally, the decor is derived from the properties of the brick itself, supplemented by a few shaped stones, and with its geometric stylizations differs from the direct style quotations of historicism. The type is very unusual for Dülken and with some probability can be traced back to the high level of expertise of the client. As the home of the well-known building contractor Gormanns and because of its eye-catching, high-quality design, the house at Viersener Straße 28 (part of the twin house Viersener Straße 28/30) is important for Viersen. As a residential house of the late nineteenth century that has been substantially preserved right down to the inside, there is a public interest in its preservation and use for scientific, in particular architectural-historical reasons. Due to its prominent location on one of the main streets of Dülken, built into a row that characterizes the street space and immediately adjacent to the Viersener Straße 26 monument, there are urban planning reasons. It is therefore an architectural monument in accordance with Section 2 of the NRW Monument Protection Act.	1885	July 18, 2001	419
	Residential building	Dülken Viersener Straße 30 map	The semi-detached house at Viersener Straße 28 and 30 was built in 1885 by the master builder Joh. Jos. Gormanns built according to his own design. While Gormanns Viersener Straße 28 himself lived in and used it for his construction company, Viersener Straße 30 was probably intended as a rental property from the start. The building Viersener Straße 30 is the left half of the built-in semi-detached house, three-story eaves with three of the six window axes.

	Residential building	Dülken Viersener Straße 33 map	The house is the only one in this street that is set back from the building line and is built free-standing in the garden like a villa. The richly decorated facade and the staggered structure are typical of historicist villa construction. The two-storey house was built in the neo-renaissance style. The brick facade is strongly structured by several pre-blinded, color-contrasting cornices, as well as pilaster strips, window frames and window roofing. The house is divided into four irregular axes, the two left are emphasized by pilaster strips and narrowed windows and crowned with a gable in the roof area. The entrance axis is located like a tower on the side of the house and raised with a helmet roof. The original floor plan of the house has remained unchanged. In the entrance area on the ground floor, the floor is laid out with black and white marble slabs. The interior was renewed around the twenties, and the old doors and the staircase were paneled. The original radiator cladding has been preserved in the bedroom on the upper floor. For scientific, in particular architectural-historical reasons, the preservation and use of the building according to § 2 (l) monument protection are in the public interest.	unknown	Nov 10, 1988	188
	Residential building	Dülken Viersener Straße 53 map	The building is a two-story house with a gable roof. The brick plaster facade shows historical decor. The facade is divided into four axes, with the two left axes protruding like a risalit. (Side or corner elevation). The side elevation is framed on the ground floor by pilasters in the form of pilaster strips on both sides and on the upper floor. Furthermore, the corner risalit ends in a decorative gable divided by a window. The windows on the first and second floors are bordered by geometric bands and decorated with various decorative elements. The eaves are mounted on brackets in the area of ​​the projected part of the building. The original floor plan can be read inside the house. However, the rooms have been changed due to their use as a nursing home, so that the interior of the house at Viersener Straße 53 is no longer worth a monument. The building forms a structural unit with the neighboring house at Viersener Straße 55. This is documented by the continuous roof, belt and sill cornice as well as the largely uniform facade design, such as brick-plastered facade, risalit-like protruding components and pilaster-shaped ashlar masonry. The representative buildings, Viersener Straße 53 and 55, show the elaborate facade design typical of the time, which is characteristic of the town or villa-like houses in the urban area around the turn of the century. For scientific, in particular architectural, urban development and urban planning reasons, the preservation and use of the outline of the building, Viersener Straße 53, (facade, roof truss and roof covering) according to § 2 (1) of the Monument Protection Act are in the public interest.	1886	May 13, 1993	321
	Residential building	Dülken Viersener Strasse 55 map	The building is a two-story house with a mezzanine and a gable roof. The brick plaster facade has historic decor and is divided into four axes. The left outer axis protrudes like a risalit and is decorated with various facade decorations. The side elevation shows the house entrance on the ground floor and a small balcony on the upper floor, with the entrance door and the balcony door set back. The double-leaf wooden entrance door with a skylight and two door windows is decorated with various types of geometric wood ornamentation. The side elevation is framed on the ground floor by pilasters in the form of pilaster strips on both sides and on the upper floor. The pilasters are decorated with figured and floral stucco ornaments. The adjacent windows on the first and second floors are framed by geometric bands and decorated with various decorative elements. The two right outer axes also form a side or corner projection, with the corner projection being framed on the ground floor by pilasters in the form of pilasters on both sides and on the upper floor. The corner risalit also ends in a decorative gable, which is divided by a window and supported on consoles. This corner projection can be found on the gable side as a middle projection in the same form. The interior of the house, like its exterior, is of high quality. Coming from the house entrance you enter a long hallway. In the front area, this shows elaborately crafted stucco ornaments in the wall and ceiling area. The original wooden staircase with turned railing can be found in the back hall. The stucco work is of excellent quality and has geometric, floral and figurative ornament shapes. In the corridor wall area there are three medallion-like stucco elements on each side. Inside each of the medallions you can see a woman with two children, who symbolize different areas of work or activity in society: art (stonemason / sculpture), mining, medicine, architecture and technology. The two rows of medallions are limited by horizontally running friezes in various vegetable and geometric variations. A console frieze forms the transition from the wall to the ceiling. The stucco ceilings in the ground floor interiors and the wooden interior doors are also preserved in the original. The house is representative in its expression and has a high-quality interior design, especially the elaborate stucco work. In particular, the design of the hallway is to be seen as a typical example of eclecticism, which, due to the lack of creative power of contemporary artistry, switches to stylistic devices or motifs from other historical masters and epochs. Several styles are combined in a single work of art, so that the combination of models is quoted. The execution of the elaborate stucco decoration shows both baroque and classical elements and arbitrarily lines up figures and work areas in the representation of the medallions that are neither related to themselves nor to the owner. The building forms a structural unit with the neighboring house at Viersener Straße 53. This is documented by the continuous roof, belt and sill cornice as well as the largely uniform facade design, such as brick-plastered facade, risalit-like protruding components and pilaster-shaped cuboid. The representative buildings, Viersener Straße 55 and 53, show the elaborate and time-typical facade design, which are characteristic of the town or villa-like houses in the urban area around the turn of the century. For scientific, in particular architectural, urban development and urban planning reasons, the maintenance and use of the building, Viersener Straße 55, is in the public interest according to § 2 (1) of the Monument Protection Act.	1886	May 13, 1993	322
	villa	Dülken Viersener Straße 62 map	The Villa Viersener Straße 62 in Dülken was built in 1883/84 as a residential building for the silk manufacturer Benjamin Lucas. In the 1879 address book, Marktstrasse 11 is still given as his address. Later the house is best known as the residence of the important entrepreneurial family Tonnar. The free-standing building, slightly set back from the street behind a fence, rises on two floors with a mezzanine and a flat hipped roof over a two-wing floor plan. In the view, the left wing protrudes with its narrow side as a risalit to two axes. A three-storey raised corner tower with five of its eight sides and a slated roof hood forms an optical counterweight on the right. The three-axis transverse wing appears to be clamped between the risalit and the tower. The house entrance, which is elevated over steps, is placed in the corner formed by the risalit and transverse wing. To the rear, the two wings form a sheltered terrace, which is supplemented by half-timbered garden sheds (one removed today). The base, storey and cornice give the facade a horizontal support, to which the banding of the ground floor (on the tower over all storeys) also contributes. The friezes accompanying the cornice are striking: between the ground floor and the upper floor there is a water wave band (“running dog”), and flower motifs under the eaves of the risalite. The side risalit is contoured with square corner pilasters, which end in capitals-like end pieces decorated with festoons and other flowers as part of the eaves frieze. Here, too, the parapet fields ornamented with flowers and animal motifs and triangular roofs emphasize the upper floor windows, above which the small mezzanine double windows of the adjoining, rear window axes are missing. Otherwise, the tall rectangular T-shaped windows on the ground floor are cut into the wall without complex framing, while the sill and straight beams are accentuated on the upper floor. The tower with its slender windows is designed in even smaller parts, with, among other things, continuous banding, additional sill cornices, small semicircular lions' heads above the upper floor windows and lambrequins on the top windows. The roof illuminates an ox-eye. To the side of the house entrance is a niche framed by a pedicle with a blown triangular gable over round arches. The entrance itself still has the original two-winged front door with skylight, which, among other things, repeats the gable motif of the niche architecture in a smaller format. Inside the house, the floor plan principle and, above all, numerous high-quality equipment elements from the construction period have been preserved. You first enter an entrance hall, which goes straight through to the rear, where the two-flight staircase with a turning platform and a volute-shaped wooden beginner is located. The natural stone paving in the hallway is probably from a redesign from the post-war period, but the quality of the material certainly corresponds to the upscale ambience of the house. The same applies to the ceiling design in the room to the right of the corridor with all-round indirect lighting, a typical and high-quality element of this time. The stairwell and corridor are separated from each other by a passage formed from pilasters. On the ceiling of the hall there is a grotesque painting, framed by stuccoed valley profiles and ribbons and a central rosette. Old frame panel doors, some with two leaves, have been preserved and lead into the rooms to the left and right of the hallway. The living room to the left of the entrance hall, with its wall-mounted fittings and representative furniture, possibly also from the construction period, presents an impressive historical room image. A wood-colored stucco ceiling with a central rosette and panel-dividing banding covers the room. The individual fields partly contain grotesque-like filling motifs, the throats are covered with rich foliage. A hanging lamp is attached to the central rosette. The optical dominant feature of the room is a stately decorative cabinet in neo-renaissance forms, the age of which could apparently correspond to that of the house. Its multi-zone structure with projections and recesses, cornices, twisted columns, color changes of the wood and the inlays, glass windows with small-scale, ornamental web structure and a central folk painting and accompanying figurines (clay?) Of a boy and a girl in niches upper zone gives it an extremely rich appearance. Diagonally opposite is a contemporary fireplace cladding in the inner corner of the room. In the other living rooms there are more stucco ceilings, some with painted borders. The tower room on the ground floor also contains original room decorations. Its hexagonal ceiling is stuccoed with valley profiles and a central rosette, the three narrow windows, once horizontally divided, are colored lead glazed, the middle one also shows Dülken's coat of arms. A wall parapet with pillars and ornamental metal grating closes off the garden property with its partly old trees towards the Viersener Straße that leads past. The free-standing villa, including the garden and the enclosure, thus also has an overall impact on the street space and contributes to the still recognizable historical overall character of the street. On her, the former Viersen-Kaldenkirchener Landstrasse, in the course of the city's growth, representative villas and residential buildings as well as important public buildings and commercial establishments settled in the course of the city's growth, a notable number of which, e. B. the residential buildings Viersener Straße 28, 30, 33, 53/55, 76, which are also under monument protection, have been preserved. As a stately villa in a prominent location and the former residence of the Tonnar family, the building at Viersener Straße 62 in Dülken is important for Viersen. Due to the very clear state of preservation, including numerous original equipment elements, there is a public interest in preserving and using it for scientific, in particular architectural-historical reasons. In connection with the other historical preserved on Viersener Strasse, e.g. Urban planning or urban development-historical reasons are added to the partly representative buildings. According to § 2 (1) Monument Protection Act, it is therefore an architectural monument.	1883/84	Sep 14 1988	167
	Residential and office building	Dülken Viersener Straße 76 map	The detached villa, located in a park, is built on two floors. The main house with the entrance area was expanded in 1888, in which an extension was built over two floors, so that the villa had 7 axes. The facade of the main part, kept in calm symmetry, is divided into 5 regular axes. The facade is designed with late classicist decorative shapes. Base, sill and cornice structure the facade horizontally. The windows are in their original condition with opening blinds. At the rear of the house, two terraces with wrought iron railings are offset. The building is covered with a hipped roof. Inside the house, all fittings such as doors with strongly structured reveals, radiator cladding and the ornate staircase in dark oak have been preserved. The garden with old trees is remarkable. Towards the street, framed in a column arrangement, wrought-iron bars that end in lance tips fill the space between the columns. The property, probably one of the most representative at the entrance to the town with its rather restrained facade design, should also be viewed in connection with the garden design. The layout of the landscape garden clearly shows an overall design concept. For scientific, in particular architectural, historical and urban planning reasons, the maintenance and use of the building and the gardens are in the public interest in accordance with Section 2 (1) of the Monument Protection Act.	1888	May 11, 1990	225
	formerly Bücklers & Königs	Dülken Viersener Straße 95, 95 a, 95 b.101, 101 a map	History: Compared to most of the other smaller cities in the Rhineland, Dülken is very industrialized. The textile industry in particular benefited from the city's location on the through connection (today's B 7) Netherlands - Düsseldorf - Ruhr area and in the middle of the former flax cultivation area on the Lower Rhine, for which Dülken became a transshipment and processing point. The railway connection that took place in 1866 promoted the purposes of the textile industry and made the city the starting point for German velvet loom manufacture. The first gas works was built in 1861. In addition to the flax and metal processing industry (iron foundries due to the molding sand deposits in the nearby Süchtelner heights), the velvet and silk industry, which could fall back on the craftsmanship of the local linen craftsmen, settled down. The flax processing went ahead of time. Since the Middle Ages and up to around 1870, flax cultivation and linen production based on the light soils and abundance of water in Schwalm, Niers and Nette Dülkens represented the main industry. In the 18th century, textile entrepreneurs such as Jakobus Weffers and Henrikus were established in the city in the publishing system Raves tangible that sold Dülken's production in long-distance trade in Holland, Belgium and England. In 1776, Raves mentions a workforce of 1,000 for his "yarn and linen factory" founded in 1766. Dülken's industrial beginnings are linked to the name Gerhard Mevissens, who set up his first twisted chair in 1798, which was followed by three more in 1803 in a house he had newly built. In 1814, Mevissen, who was married to Katharina Elisabeth Gierlings, started a hand-made linen thread production in the purchased Heisler house on "Lange Straße". In 1830 the son Gustav Mevissen, who later became very important, entered his father's business, which was under pressure from Anglo-Scottish competition before the switch to machine operation. The official overview of the commercial and industrial state of the Rhine Province published in 1836 names four linen thread factories for Dülken: Mrs. R. Clemens Erben, Weyers u. Klinger and Gerhard Mevissen. The Königs u. Company employing 30 workers and 300 spinners Bücklers operated the first 1.5 hp steam engine on the Lower Rhine. Mathias Bücklers, born in Dülken in 1794, ran the Königs u. Bücklers, which was located in a two-story building on Lange Strasse. After Mathias Bückler's death in 1889, his son-in-law Eduard Jansen took over the company, and after his death in 1898 his nephew Artur Jansen took over the company. The latter then relocated the company that was no longer capable of growth on Lange Straße to Mevissenstraße in 1906. On Jan. 1, 1930, it was sold to the Singer sewing machine company, whose German branch was located in Wittenberge, Reg. Bez. Potsdam. Singer produced from 1930 under the old Königs u. Bücklers, now as a GmbH, upper, lingerie and tricot thread, straw hat thread, buttonhole thread and thread, mainly for export. The water tower was built in 1932, the extensions planned in 1939 were not implemented until 1948. Around 170 people worked here in the mid-1960s. The neighboring operation of the former Königs u. Bücklers is the company Gebrüder Gierlings, which was relocated here from rented rooms in 1886, was founded around 1860, and since 1909 V. Gierlings KG, velvet, plush and ribbon factory. Today's company V. Gierlings GmbH u. Co KG is the owner of the entire area between Viersener, Mevissenstrasse and Sternstrasse. With its products, it embodies Dülken's second important textile area in addition to flax processing, velvet and plush production. Description: The visual impression of the plant area Viersener Straße 93 or Mevissenstraße 40-44 in Dülken is largely determined today by the buildings and systems of the 20s and 30s of the 20th century with the exception of the chimney, which was integrated into this building stock from the beginning of the century including wrought iron chimney high water tank. Not only the plant itself, but the approach from the east as well as the entire town silhouette - for example from the Venlo-Mönchengladbach motorway - is dominated by the striking shape of the 30 m high plant water tower built on a square floor plan from 1931/32 its copper-clad tent roof. Both in the view from Mevissenstrasse and Viersener Strasse, the utility buildings of the factory are staggered on both sides of the factory passage connecting the two streets, with a uniform scale and use of materials. In the following, they should be described progressively from south to north in accordance with the site plan taken from the building files by the Lower Monument Authority Viersen with added building age data (see the respective plan numbering in the annex): . Water tower In October 1931 the company Königs u. Bücklers (owned by Singer Sewing Machines AG since January 1, 1930) for permission to build a water tower with three tanks in reinforced concrete from Paul Thiele, Hamburg. The purpose of the construction is to create a sufficiently high reservoir for the operation of a sprinkler system to be installed by Walther und Cie, Cologne-Dellbrück, at a height of 21 m, then a second container for drinking water purposes under the first and, in turn, underneath a third container, the supply to serve with service and fire extinguishing water. Contents are 150, 40 and 270 m³ respectively. The tower casing consists of brickwork with two protruding masonry pillars on each side in a longitudinal rectangular plan. The protruding tower head is also made of masonry on reinforced concrete cornice. The tent roof is a wooden substructure with a copper cover. In the east, west and south the wall pillars project 78 cm in front of the 6.05 by 6.05 m tower. In the north, with a 90 cm projection, they border a 0.7 × 2.1 m ascending shaft for conductors and pipelines. The pillars are not load-bearing, the load of the top structure and container 1 (150 m³) is transferred to the 1 1/2 stone masonry, which is led down to the upper edge of container 3 (270 m³). The reinforced concrete walls (terminology of the time) of this container - increasing in thickness downwards - transfer the weight at a height of 3.1 m to the massive base of the pump room under the substructure of the container 3, so that the masonry surrounding the lower container only has a facing function . Masonry and pillars are attached to the supporting structure with anchors and wires. In 1936, Singer submitted an application to double the content of container 2 from 40 to 80 m³. The execution lies with the company Joh. Gorissen, Dülken. The tower was built in this form in 1932 and its external appearance has remained unchanged since then. The visual impression of the plant water tower depends to a large extent on the location of the observer: In the view from below, the tower head appears as a strongly protruding component. With increasing distance, however, the eight masonry pillars “fill” the shaft part optically to the outline dimensions of the head, so that the impression of a uniform, high-rectangular structure is created. This has its functional justification mainly because all three concrete containers arranged one above the other have almost identical floor plans, so a head formation would also be completely non-functional in view of this type of container. In close vision, however, the protruding head zone avoids the monotony that would easily have resulted from a uniform design of the tower over 30 m high with a base area of ​​around 6 × 6 m. The pillars only reinforce the vertical effect of the smooth masonry surfaces, which are only interrupted by three-part windows arranged in two levels below the head. (canceled) . Dyeing, color storage, finishing At a distance of a few meters to the north of the tower are the dye works and finishing rooms. Although the building age plan names the dates 1906, 1921 and 1931, the front building, nine-axis, three-axis deep up to the archway, appears along the plant passage in a uniform design, probably from 1931. High rectangular window openings with steel profile sprouts illuminate the interior, in the south and north as long window strips , in the middle, three-axis part designed as two openings one above the other. A short, two-tiered roof stone ledge delimits the front of the building from the monopitch roof, all openings are framed in a slightly protruding, simple brick border. The southern front view of the pent roof shows a decoration, which consists of stepped, irregular false fires. (No monument inventory) . Passage arch At the height of the 10th axis from the south, the front of the dyeing wing, which was built in 1931, is connected to the social building from 1936 in the east by a brick-clad round arch opening with a span of approx. Under the narrow gable roof, with which the arch opening is closed in a straight line at the top, there are wedge-shaped ornamental plates on both sides in the apex of the arch. To the north are two female figures with a length of fabric and the Singer Singer symbol, to the south two male figures grouped around an anvil. . Social building The social building connected to the western part of the factory through the arched opening has 3 × 3 axes on two floors. The three window levels of the tent-roofed building with the basement are connected by vertically drawn, darker brick surrounds, with the exception of the north side, on which three storey-high round arches in line with the drive-through arch open up the ground floor like an arcade. . Workshop In the south-east, a factory hall with two shed roof tiers adjoins the social building, at the south-west corner of which an elevator tower with a square floor plan and a tent roof accentuates the building towards the plant passage. The northern boundary of the hall forms a lower part of the hall, which is aligned with the northern front of the social building and which, like all of the buildings mentioned under item 5, was built at the same time in 1936. (No monument inventory) . chimney As evidenced by the building application from Königs u. Bückler's chimney from the company HR, which was probably built in 1906. Heinicke, Chemnitz, together with the wrought-iron Intze chimney container for the boiler water, was originally free in a recess in the factory. Presumably when the passage arch was built in 1936, the front facing the Werksstrasse was closed, so that the chimney base is now under cover. The chimney is the most striking part of the Königs und Bücklers company from the pre-Singer era, so it is of great importance for the history of the location. In addition, he carries a chimney that is more and more disappearing, which is typical for industrial companies between 1900 and 1930. . North wing The fronts of the factory from 1906 to the north of the archway facing the factory passage were also subjected to a standardized facing. Three-fold staggered to the north, the new front jumps back to behind the small toilet block built in 1936 and illuminated by a surrounding strip of windows. (No monument inventory) . Shed hall from Gebr. Gierlings The west of the area of ​​the former Königs u. Bückler's adjoining building stock dates back to the first establishment of company buildings by Gebr. Gierlings in 1886. In contrast to Königs u. Bücklers, who operate the twisting, lustering (a finishing process) and dyeing works in their facilities, the buildings by Gierlings with the extensive shed areas are used for velvet, plush and ribbon weaving, as well as dyeing. According to this functional definition, the ten-part sawtooth profile of the weaving hall, which is free-standing to the east, forms the most characteristic part of the system. Typically, the end of the street, with which the shed ridges run parallel, is structured by blending motifs that occupy the upper zone as transverse rectangular, recessed fields with broken corners under a serrated frieze, while 14 arched windows with continuous overhanging arches and sandstone sills occupy the lower zone above the low base break through. In each case three, in the west only two fields are divided by means of flat brick pilaster strips in vertical steps. Rating: On the area of ​​today's company V. Gierlings GmbH + Co KG between Viersener, Mevissenstrasse and Sternstrasse at the eastern entrance to Dülken, the strands of the once important textile history of this city come together in a special way. Long-established companies that represent the two main branches of the Dülkens textile industry, the flax processing and the velvet manufacturing industry, are represented here with the establishment of extensions at the turn of the last century. Both branches are represented by particularly well-known families with many links to the industrial history of the place. In addition, the building stock also reflects the progress of economic development with the decline in flax processing and the start of textile production in the velvet, plush and cotton sector (Singer, Gierlings), so it still encompasses the period between around 1890 and the beginning of the Second World War. In terms of architectural history, the typical shed areas in the Gierlings area, which - from 1901 associated with the name of the architect Franz Fuesers - characterize the weaving business in street and side views. In the former Königs- and Bückler area, the successful remodeling of a 30-year-old building stock (original factory, architect Willi Esser, 1906) in the sense of a design influenced by the new objectivity in combination with high-quality new buildings is surprising. Both views of this part of the factory, the northern one from Mevissenstrasse and the southern one from Viersener Strasse, make the overall concept comprehensible and tangible, which the architects from Singer directed during the renovation and new construction. Bracketed by the gate motif of the passage arch, the dyeing front and water tower on one side and the social building and shed hall with elevator tower on the other side of the plant passage offer a uniform appearance with high-quality shaping down to the very last detail. The chimney from the first settlement phase gives a clear indication of the older age of the production site. In addition to its own architectural quality, the 30 m high water tower also has the function of a strong accent in the “chore” of the Viersener water towers, which is united with the Viersener Intze tower east of the autobahn, the new concrete tank and the “headless” old Dülken city water tower forms a rare “water tower landscape” in this density. After the removal of the top of the tower on the water tower in 1889, which impoverished the silhouette of the townscape of Dülken, the Gierlings tower, together with the church tower of St. Cornelius and the Kaiser silo tower, provided the decisive accentuation of the Dülken city outline, especially that of many thousands Motorists perceived east side. The buildings and facilities described under items 1 - 8 (see attached site plan) are monuments within the meaning of Section 2 (1) of the Monument Protection Act of North Rhine-Westphalia. There is a public interest in conservation and use, because the buildings are important for cities and settlements as well as for the development of working and production conditions. The businesses that are typical of Dülken's commercial life clearly illustrate the role of the various branches of the textile industry and clearly characterize the respective technical purpose. There are artistic and urban planning reasons for preservation and use, in particular those relating to the development of industrial architecture between 1890 and the 1930s, which both at the former Königs u. Bücklers as well as the Gierlings company is represented in a special quality. The urban development significance lies above all in the case of the water tower and chimney in the optical identification of the Dülken district and the function of the water tower in the particularly dense arrangement of elevated water tanks in the urban area of ​​Viersen.	1886	Feb 14, 1995	357
	Heimershof	Süchteln Vinnweg 15 map	The stately half-timbered house with a brick gable in front of the weather side, which is typical of the landscape, is a former hall house, the load-bearing half-timbered construction of which probably dates from the 16th century. The core structure consists of six containers. The container divides the house into three large and two smaller compartments. The former residential part of the house has been professionally reconstructed. The original room layout and the op cameras are clearly recognizable. The better-lighted room is probably located in the southeast corner of the house. It protrudes almost 1.00 m into the central nave, so that a stand of the core structure had to be supported above the room. The technique in the area of ​​the central purlin, which has been reconstructed down to the last detail, is remarkable. There is a hinge device here, which enables the roof to be folded up to replace the threshold and stand. The yard is surrounded by a moat. The access was through a double gate house, which is only partially preserved. For scientific, in particular architectural-historical, folkloric, landscape-related and settlement topographical reasons, the maintenance and use of the Heimershof is in the public interest in accordance with Section 2 (1) of the Monument Protection Act.	16th century	Oct 11, 1985	72
	Residential building	Dülken Waldnieler Strasse 52 map	The villa-like plastered building is a residential building in the middle of a settlement of courtyards. The two-storey house with a mezzanine is divided into 5 axes, with the middle one being preferred as an access axis with the original front door. The originally almost symmetrical floor plan is typical of such residential houses, as they were built in brick-facing courtyards. Here the facade of the house is structured in ashlar plaster and is structured by a base, sill and cornice. Round window openings and cassettes in simple stucco work are hidden in front of the right side facade. The original windows of the house were renewed during a complete modernization of the house. Inside, there are partially cove profiles and the original wooden stairs. The house has a flat hipped roof. The original roof structure with wooden wedge connections has been preserved in its original state. The cellar is covered with a vault. The free-standing building, well proportioned, can be seen as an example of the representative rural house. The essential floor plan features, albeit adapted to today's living needs, as well as the largely original facade design, characterize it as such. For scientific, in particular architectural-historical reasons, the preservation and use of the building are in the public interest in accordance with Section 2 (l) of the Monument Protection Act.	unknown	Dec 10, 1988	186
	Neu-Fegers-Hof	Map of Dülken Waldnieler Straße 53	The one or two-storey brick courtyard, which is located on the road to Waldniel, is typical of the landscape and consists of a main house and an attached barn building. As a former residential / stable house, the main building is assigned to the Lower Rhine hall house type. It was built in 1719 according to the anchor pins on its north gable. During the 18th and 19th In the 19th century it was expanded to include multiple wings, presumably with the roof of the main building being raised. In the course of the renovation - since 1977 - the south-western wing from the end of the 18th century was demolished. But the north-east wing was retained. The closing stone of the entrance to the inner courtyard bears the year 1832. The courtyard is built using a post construction (oak wood construction). Its four pairs of uprights made of rafted heartwood had a very well-preserved shell limestone foundation. During the renovation, new foundations were set and the outer walls were backed up. They were probably originally made of woven clay and later bricked up. A double chimney, of which the original wooden cornice is still preserved, while the carmine tiles were chipped off before repairs, separated the original lining from the kitchen. A door offset to the side led to the outside. The opening of the very large window next to it is original. It probably had a different breakdown earlier. Inside was a well that was only now filled in. The vaulted cellar reaching about the middle of the house and about 1.90 m high has been given a new entrance at a new location. The original and typical wooden cabinet door stairs were no longer used. There were no op cameras. Today's fashionable ingredient is in the wrong place. The Cologne ceilings in the offsides were no longer preserved. The doors or door openings inside the building are not original. The rammed earth floor was given a tiled floor. The large courtyard gate was only closed by a glass wall at the level of the first compartment. The former cowshed door was also designed as a semicircular, glazed window. The front door was renewed according to the old model; window frames, wooden shutters and windows have also been renewed. The openings in the outer walls remained original. The previously mentioned window next to the front door on the north gable was opened again. On this side of the gable there are stab-relief arches built in the shape of a basket arch, but there are none above the upper windows. A brick ornament runs across the top gable window. There is an F-shaped anchor pin underneath. The side walls were rebuilt where necessary. The two-storey barn from 1832, now used as an office, has basket-shaped, brick-walled relief arches over the gates and flat arches over the door and windows. Two vaulted cellars are also worth mentioning, which are at right angles to each other (one of them 3 by 7 m) under the courtyard on the southern border to the neighboring property. There is no development there. Both cellars are no longer accessible. It is believed that the farmhouse was related to a courtyard that must have been assigned to the former Kreuzherrenkloster in Dülken. Indeed, the map of Tranchot / von Müffling from 1804/5 shows a monastery courtyard opposite (still existing today). The Neu-Fegers-Hof only appears there as a split from the Alt-Fegers-Hof, which was demolished around 10-12 years ago. Local historical research should be used here. The Neu-Fegers-Hof building is characteristic of the landscape in terms of its location and design. The development history and use of old courtyards can be read from its structural extensions. Today the main building is still clearly visible as an example of the hall building on the Lower Rhine. The essential floor plan features, such as the oak wood construction of the stud work, the external appearance with original door and window openings, characterize it as such, even if today's living and sanitary needs have been taken into account with a number of changes inside. For scientific, in particular landscape-shaping, folklore reasons as well as monument protection law in the public for the history of farmhouse architecture, the preservation and use of the Neu-Fegers-Hof according to § 2 (1) are of interest.	1719/1832	Jan. 11, 1985	14th

The street-facing parcel No. 388 belongs to Matthias Jorißen in 1773 and to his son Peter Jorißen in 1801. Heinrich Braßeler acquired the property of Peter Jorißen around 1825. The buildings of the Waldnieler Straße 82 estate standing today show the same outline as on the original map from 1825. Around 1886 Franz Braßeler built a new barn building on the same barn floor plan. Description: The former stable house shows itself in the form of the Lower Rhine hall house. It is characterized by the inner framework, which determines its appearance, its spatial design and its internal spatial arrangement. It is divided into a longitudinal and a transverse axis. The longitudinal axis is determined by the stud frame with the compartments and the transverse axis shows in the central nave with two aisles. The house has a brick facade. It is accessible through two house entrances. (These result from the earlier existence of two properties.) The house entrances and a large part of the windows are held in a block frame. The floor plan of the former stable house is almost unchanged. This is how you enter the former kitchen-cum-living room when you come from the entrance to the house. The fireplace, here the double-sided fireplace, is characteristic of the kitchen. This is a defining component of the hall building on the Lower Rhine. In the right area of ​​the room the stairs can be found as wooden stairs. The rooms adjoining the kitchen are simple and solid and are used on the ground floor as bedrooms and storage rooms. The former stable wing can be found behind the living part of the stable house. The stable zone, like the living area, is structurally divided into three parts: a wide central nave, the former feeding hall and two narrow aisles. These rooms are used as living and storage rooms at an early stage. Opposite the residential stable house is the barn built around 1886. The barn building shows two gates with a flat arch and two anchor crosses. The flat arch of the street-facing gate has a keystone with the inscription FBMJAMB 1886. These letters and numbers can be historically explained in F (ranz) B (rasseler) - M (argaretha) J (ohann) - A (nna) M (argaretha) B (rasseler) In addition to the age value and the typical example of a rural hall house in the Lower Rhine, the stable house is significant in terms of settlement history. For scientific, in particular folk and settlement history as well as architectural history reasons, the maintenance and use of the courtyard are in the public interest according to § 2 (1) of the Monument Protection Act.	18th century	Dec 11, 1991	297
	Wayside cross	Map of Dülken Waldnieler Strasse 91	According to oral tradition, the iron wayside cross with a metal body is erected to commemorate the murder of a peasant girl who was committed here. At the bottom of the cross stem the year of construction 1862 can be read. Until 1962 the crossroads were fenced with a fence. Then a memorial plaque will be erected in honor of those who fell in the two world wars. This granite slab is located in a brick structure that tapers upwards like a staircase. The cross closes the system at the top. For scientific, in particular religious-historical and folkloric reasons, the preservation and use of the crossroads according to § 2 (1) of the Monument Protection Act are in the public interest.	1862	0Sep 7 1994	344
	Residential building	Viersen Wilhelmstrasse 8 map	The building, which is on record in 1867, was owned by the Kaiser's coffee factory and was probably used as a coffee shop around the turn of the century, to which today's outer stucco facade can be traced. From 1914 the business was converted into an apartment. Immediately on the other side of the street, the access axis of the small city garden flows into Wilhelmstraße and comes to an end here. The building complex consists of the two-storey front building, divided into three axes, with a gable roof and a single-storey extension with a pent roof, which, according to the file, was also planned in 1867 and probably built. The garden side of the front building is brick-view and the extension was plastered later. Overall, the garden is surrounded by a high wall. The facade, structured in three axes, is structured horizontally by cornice, window sill cornice and base. The three windows on the upper floor are on the axes, with the middle window being emphasized by additional plaster decoration. The windows are covered with historicizing, floral stucco decor. The window parapets are decorated in a similar way. The upper-storey part of the facade is designed as a brick plaster facade and the ground floor strip plaster facade is divided into horizontal strips. The cornice is interrupted in the middle. A gabled house was probably built at this point earlier. The shop window was replaced by two windows and properly closed in line with the design of the facade. On the ground floor, the two windows are arranged on the axes. The door can therefore be found on the right-hand side and is covered with a woman's head and stucco decoration. Inside the building there is the colorful patterned tiled floor, well preserved, as well as the original wooden stairs. The original wooden doors on the ground floor and the windows are also well preserved. The floorboards are visible on the ground floor and are in good condition. The rear part of the front building is supported by a vaulted cellar parallel to the street. The residential building, which is centrally located in Viersen, forms a very beautiful ensemble on Wilhelmstrasse together with the house at Wilhelmstrasse 10. The complex facade design typical of the time characterizes the contemporary building type of the stately residential and former commercial building, which here reflects the historic cityscape. It is also a testament to the development of the coffee roasting plant in Viersen. For scientific, in particular art-historical, architectural-historical, urban development-historical and urban planning reasons, the preservation and use of the building according to Section 2 (1) of the Monument Protection Act are in the public interest.	1867	Aug 15, 1985	61
	Residential building	Viersen Wilhelmstrasse 14 map	The residential building at Wilhelmstrasse 14, along with the neighboring former school, is the largest and most representative of the historical buildings on Wilhelmstrasse. It was built for himself by the contractor Louis (Ludwig) Hansen in 1877. In 1903 it is sold to the family of the current owners. From the row of three- or four-axle houses from the period between 1870 and 1890, which are still represented in large numbers in Wilhelmstrasse, Wilhelmstrasse 14 stands out due to its wide storage, seven window axes on two storeys on the street side, and its more elaborate decorative shapes, including bay windows and Triangular gable. Nevertheless, it is built into the street on both sides and complies with the eaves height of the neighboring houses. The ground floor has ashlar plaster above a high base; on the right it contains the two-axis wide passage into the courtyard, to the left is the elevated entrance with an old front door and four tall rectangular windows with plaster framing and volute-shaped wedge stones. The house entrance is covered by a single-axis box bay window on the upper floor, which protrudes on richly ornamented, curved console stones that correspond to those of the balcony on the neighboring house at Wilhelmstrasse 16, which is also being built by Louis Hansen. Corner pilasters and antiqued entablature also adorn the bay window, which is illuminated on three sides and around which the cornice is led. The four window axes to the left of him are separated from one another by fluted pilasters in the lower area. In the archive travzone above, triglyphs with garlands alternate between columns. The windows sit in profiled plaster frames with large ears and are crowned by strong wedge stones. In contrast to the others, the two windows above the passage end in round arches and are framed by almost fully plastic fluted columns on pedestals with stems ornamented below. The spandrels above the arches and the architrave zone with a central cartouche are also provided with rich surface ornamentation. A low triangular gable with a round opening forms the upper end of this very representative right facade section. Inside the building, it is initially surprising that, contrary to what the representative exterior suggests, the entrance area, hallway and stairs are not very spacious. The tiled floor, stucco ceiling and stairs correspond to those in other residential buildings in the street, but are less representative than in the residential building at Wilhelmstrasse 16, which is also being built by Hansen. In contrast to the received building application documents, the stairs are straight in the depth of the entrance and not in the center of the building. The rooms are modern, only stucco ceilings and some old doors have historical testimony value. The back of the building clearly shows the modernization of the 1960s (including expansion of the attic). The high depth of the property gives an impression of the original parcel sections. Outbuildings such as horse stables, coach houses, storage and material sheds have now been removed, as has the garden wall, with the exception of a garage from the 1st half of the 20th century (application documents for garden wall and material shed are contained in the building file). The building contractor Louis Hansen was responsible for a large number of the residential buildings typical of Viersen from the second half of the 19th century, which, as was the case with such buildings at the time, were usually planned and built directly by such contractors and their construction companies without an architect. Hansen probably had the house at Wilhelmstrasse 14 and the neighboring house at Wilhelmstrasse 16 built for himself or for his family. The size and design make the Wilhelmstrasse 14 building stand out from its neighborhood, but on the other hand it fits in with its alignment and height. The way in which a building contractor erects his own house in the middle of a street that he built largely himself is of great socio-historical testimony value for Viersen and beyond. Wilhelmstrasse represents the development of Viersen as a rapidly growing city in the second half of the 19th century in terms of course and structure. In terms of urban planning, the straight streets on both sides of the main street with their large number of historic buildings are an essential characteristic of Viersen. The basis for this is the town plan from 1858/60, to which Wilhelmstrasse also goes back. Based on the contemporary plans that have been preserved, the street was mainly built in the 1870s. A large part of these buildings is still preserved today and gives the street a very vivid historical character. As a well-preserved testimony to this growth phase of the city, built for the building contractor Hansen, who played a key role in this, the house at Wilhelmstrasse 14 is important for Viersen. Since it is a well-preserved testimony to the upscale urban residential architecture of the 1870s, with an elaborate facade design and typical, albeit not overly elaborate, interior fittings, there is a public interest in its preservation and use for scientific, in particular architectural-historical reasons. In addition, there are local and social history, as the house as the original building on Wilhelmstrasse shows its historical origins, which are centrally linked to the urban development of Viersen and is also being built for one of the city's important building contractors. Finally, there are also urban planning reasons, as the Wilhelmstrasse 14 building is a defining part of the historic street space on Wilhelmstrasse. Since the requirements of § 2 (1) of the Monument Protection Act NW are met, it is a monument.	1877	June 28, 2000	386
	Residential building	Viersen Wilhelmstrasse 16 map	It is a two-storey residential house on the eaves with three window axes. Two dormers are evidence of an attic extension in the early 1960s. The ground floor has ashlar plaster over a plastered base; the simply framed windows stand on a sill cornice. The entrance, which is arranged in the left axis, is deeply embedded and of representative width, which accommodates a (renewed) double-wing house door. The wall cheeks of the niche are structured with a plaster mirror. The entrance is distinguished by pilasters with Corinthian capitals and a crowning balcony above, which rests on cantilevered, curved consoles that taper off in volutes. Their sides are ornamented with foliage. In terms of shape and ornament, they are identical to those of the bay window on the neighboring house at Wilhelmstrasse 14. The balcony slab adopts the profile of the cornice, the decorative grille with floral motifs corresponds in height to the parapet zone of the upper floor windows. This parapet zone between the storey cornice and the sill is made rhythmic by small wall pedestals on which the framing of the upper floor windows optically rests. Particularly highlighted is the balcony door, which is framed by pilasters, beams and a flat triangular gable, all of which are very sculptural in front of the wall. The walls of the other two windows, on the other hand, lie flat in the wall surface, only their crowning segmental arch gables stand out, including their small, ornamentally designed consoles. A strong box cornice closes the wall zone from the roof. The interior of the building is modernized in the 1960s. The principle of the room layout and some essential historical elements have been preserved. The most remarkable piece of equipment in the entrance hall is a tile floor, elaborately ornamented with circular motifs, the pattern of which changes into simpler forms in the rear stairwell. The staircase is located in its characteristic original position on the side behind a passage with a skylight and a block frieze. The typical wooden staircase, straight in the opposite direction with a turning platform, is original; its starting post is renewed, the railing rests on turned bars. The construction period and the prestigious quality of the house, which can be seen in the entrance and hallway, suggest that the living rooms used to have (possibly even elaborate) stucco ceilings. It is possible that some or all of these are still preserved under the suspended ceilings from the 1960s that are visible today. The rear building has been preserved (modernized), at the rear there is still a deep garden plot, as was common when the houses on Wilhelmstrasse were built, but today it has mostly been removed by dividing or building fixtures. The construction company Ludwig Hansen is responsible for a large number of the residential buildings characteristic of Viersen from the second half of the 19th century, which, as was the case with such buildings at the time, are usually planned and built directly by master masons and their construction companies without architects. Hansen probably had the neighboring house at Wilhelmstrasse 14 built for himself or for his family. The residential building at Wilhelmstrasse 16 took over from him. The balcony and the wide double-winged entrance set it apart from the other buildings that are usual here. However, due to its smaller size, it does not match the representative character of Wilhelmstrasse 14. Wilhelmstrasse represents the development of Viersen as a rapidly growing city in the second half of the 19th century in terms of course and structure. In terms of urban planning, the straight streets on both sides of the main street with their large number of historic buildings are an essential characteristic of Viersen. The basis for this is the town plan from 1858/60, to which Wilhelmstrasse also goes back. Based on the contemporary plans that have been preserved, the development of the street was essentially created in the 1870s. A large part of these buildings is still preserved today and gives the street a very vivid historical character. As a well-preserved testimony to this growth phase of the city, built by the building contractor Hansen, who played a key role in this, the building at Wilhelmstrasse 16 is important for Viersen. Since this is a well-preserved testimony to urban residential architecture from the 1870s, with a sometimes complex facade design (balcony) and typical interior fittings (floor plan, stairs, tiled floor), there is a public interest in its preservation and use for scientific, in particular architectural-historical reasons . There are also local history, as the house as the original building on Wilhelmstrasse shows its historical origins, which are centrally linked to the urban development of Viersen and is also being built by one of the city's important building contractors. Finally, there are also urban planning reasons, as the Wilhelmstrasse 16 building is a defining part of the historic street space on Wilhelmstrasse. Since the requirements of § 2 (1) of the Monument Protection Act NW are met, it is a monument.	1877	0Oct. 4, 2000	399
	Residential building	Viersen Wilhelmstrasse 19 map	The corner house at Wilhelmstrasse 19 was built in 1872 together with the neighboring house at Wilhelmstrasse 21 as a double residential building. The builders are Wilhelm Dickmann (19) and W. Falkenstein (21), the contractor is L. Hansen. In 1878 widow Dickmann submitted a building application for garden door pillars. The rear building with a designed facade facing the Green Way (today Geschwister-Scholl-Straße) was added in 1888. The eaves-standing two-storey residential building is plastered on its three-axis main side facing Wilhelmstrasse, while the gable and rear building are left exposed to brick. The first floor of the front is made of ribbon plaster over a low plinth. In addition to the two upright rectangular windows, the house entrance is on the left axis, which, together with the directly adjacent entrance of the neighboring house, results in a central emphasis of the duplex. A simple cornice zone with small flat rosette motifs separates the two floors between the ceiling and the sill. The upper floor windows are covered by straight roofs, over which an eaves cornice made of consoles leads to the pan-covered roof. The brick-facing, free-standing gable has an asymmetrical window division, with a pair of windows each in the right half of the ground floor and upper floor and two symmetrically arranged attic windows in the gable triangle. The chimney head sitting on the ridge still emphasizes the center. The adjoining facade of the rear building, also facing the street, is more elaborate than this gable. The two full floors as well as the additional mezzanine of the elongated but narrow and therefore pent roof-covered building are divided into different fields by pilaster strips and cornices. In the style of the gable of the residential building, the tall rectangular windows with flat segmental arches are partly drawn together in pairs, their parapets are also designed with transverse rectangular glare fields framed with yellow bricks. A console frieze made of stepped bricks marks the eaves. Inside the house, the floor plan with its characteristic access through a side corridor with a rear staircase has been preserved, with the staircase also serving as a joint to the two-storey rear building since 1888. The ground floor corridor still has its original decorative tile floor right into the rear building and at the entrance an additional ceiling decorated with an egg-stick-like throat stucco. In some of the rooms, too, there are larger remains of the original stucco ceilings, including the central rosette in the street-facing ground floor room. Marble wall paintings accentuate the reveals of the passage from the hallway to the stairwell with the wooden staircase, straight two-way with a large turning platform, turned bars and a candelabra-like starting post. An original door and door frames are also preserved. Wilhelmstrasse represents the development of Viersen as a rapidly growing city in the second half of the 19th century in terms of course and structure. In terms of urban planning, the straight streets on both sides of the main street with their large number of historic buildings are an essential characteristic of Viersen. The basis for this is the town plan from 1858/60, to which Wilhelmstrasse also goes back. Based on the contemporary plans that have been preserved, the development of the street was essentially created in the 1870s. A large part of these buildings is still preserved today and gives the street a very vivid historical character. The buildings Wilhelmstrasse 19 (and 21) are of particular importance in this context, as according to the current state of knowledge and the contemporary detail of the situation plan, together with the diagonally opposite, later historically modified buildings on Wilhelmstrasse 8/10, they are the first development in the new one Street. The early development is also expressed in the simple facade design, which is still committed to the late classicist type of the middle of the century and clearly differs from later, in historicist manner z. T. lavishly stuccoed houses differs. What is remarkable is the high-quality design of the large rear building, which is subordinate due to its brick visibility, but still has an independent character that characterizes the street space. B. reminds of good examples of contemporary factory architecture. In the interior of the house, essential original elements have been preserved in terms of the floor plan, access and equipment details. As part of the ensemble on Wilhelmstrasse that illustrates the early history of town planning, the Wilhelmstrasse 19 building is important for Viersen. Since this is a well-preserved testimony to urban residential architecture from the 1870s, with a facade design that was still classicistic and a comparatively lavish rear building, there is a public interest in its preservation and use for scientific reasons, in particular for reasons of architectural history. There are also reasons for local history, as the house is one of the first buildings on Wilhelmstrasse to show its historical origins, which are centrally linked to Viersen's urban development. Finally, there are also urban planning reasons, as the building at Wilhelmstrasse 19 on the one hand forms a corner situation that defines the street space, and on the other it is part of a historical street defined on both sides by similar buildings. Since the requirements of § 2 (1) of the Monument Protection Act of North Rhine-Westphalia are met, it is a monument.	1872	0Apr 4, 2001	407
	Residential building	Viersen Wilhelmstrasse 20 map	A comparison of the current condition with photos from 1978 shows that the windows have been renewed since then (based on the old model with T-division), possibly also the paint. Otherwise, apparently no changes or interventions in the substance have taken place that could affect the monument value. On a site plan from 1877 in the construction file of a neighboring house, building no. 20 is already there and is registered as the property of L. Hansen. Based on the construction data of the comparable residential buildings on Wilhelmstrasse, construction around 1875 can be assumed. It is a built-in three-story eaves-standing building with four window axes. On the ground floor there is a passage to the rear courtyard in the left axis, the entrance to the house in the right axis, the latter fused in and slightly elevated over three steps (the cheek walls in the niche with plastered mirrors). The ground floor is provided with a strip of plaster; it is closed at the top by a wide strip of cornice, which extends to the sills of the upper floor windows. Like their counterparts on the ground floor, these are designed as large, rectangular T-shaped windows, but are simply identified as bel-floor windows by means of a multi-profiled horizontal roof. The upper storey and the attic storey are again separated by a, but now narrow, cornice; the attic windows are lower than those below. In front of them is an ornamented parapet grille. In contrast to some of the neighboring buildings, residential building No. 20 does not have a box cornice on the eaves, but rather the slightly protruding roof cladding covers a frieze of small consoles, the close arrangement of which gives the facade end its own accent and rhythm. Subsequent roof extensions (e.g. dormer windows) are not available on the street side. The good, largely original state of preservation of the street-side part of the house suggests that this also applies to the interior and that original equipment details may also be present here. Wilhelmstrasse represents the development of Viersen as a rapidly growing city in the second half of the 19th century in terms of course and structure. In terms of urban planning, the straight streets on both sides of the main street with their large number of historic buildings are an essential characteristic of Viersen. The basis for this was the town planning plan from 1858/60, to which Wilhelmstrasse also goes back. Based on the contemporary plans that have been preserved, the development of the street was essentially created in the 1870s. A large part of these buildings is still preserved today and gives the street a very vivid historical character. As part of a largely preserved original ensemble on Wilhelmstrasse (house numbers 33-43 opposite; house numbers 12, 14, 16 adjacent), the Wilhelmstrasse 20 building is therefore important for Viersen. Since this is a well-preserved testimony to urban residential architecture from the 1870s, with a comparatively strict facade design that was still classicistic, there is a public interest in the preservation and use of the facade for scientific, in particular architectural-historical reasons. There are also local history, as the house as the original building on Wilhelmstrasse shows its historical origins, which are centrally linked to the urban development of Viersen. Finally, there are also urban planning reasons, as the house at Wilhelmstrasse 20 is part of a historic street with buildings of the same type on both sides, which characterizes the type and proportion of the development on Wilhelmstrasse. Since the requirements of § 2 (1) of the Monument Protection Act NW are met, the facade of the Wilhelmstrasse 20 building is a monument.	1875	Dec 13, 2000	401
	Residential building	Viersen Wilhelmstrasse 33 map	Like the two neighboring buildings, Wilhelmstrasse 31, purified, and Wilhelmstrasse 35, the building at Wilhelmstrasse 33 represents the four-axis facade type that still has a passage to the side, here on the right. This creates a balanced facade symmetry with entrance or passage in the two outer axes and otherwise regular window arrangement. The ground floor has a ribbon plaster over a low base. The openings are rectangular with a frame; the lintel is straight for all windows, whereas the entrance and passage are designed as a flat segment arch. The door is a bit behind. A strong cornice acts as a cornice between the ground floor and the upper floor, connecting the large windows on the upper floor and thus characterizing the bel étage. Compared to the neighboring houses, these windows are significantly lower in the facade, which is due to the fact that the ground floor is level with the street without a step. The upper floor windows are additionally accentuated by a roofing made of straight, strongly profiled beams. The upper floor and the attic are plastered smoothly and are separated by a simple cornice. The attic is reflected in the façade facing the eaves as a low second floor. The windows are immediate here, i. H. cut into the facade without framing. A strong cornice with a small block frieze visually closes the house upwards, as the relatively flat sloping roof can hardly be seen from the narrow street. At the back of the house you can still see the typical former rear building; the muddy brick facade is otherwise not, as is often found, obstructed by other additions. The small round openings of the attic storey are unsuitably filled with rectangular window fittings, but have been substantially preserved. In general, the windows and front door were probably renewed in the 1980s. Inside, the original, typical floor plan of such a house has been preserved in all essentials. The corridor behind the entrance door leads through an intermediate door with glass inserts and a skylight to the rear stairwell. A mirror surface with a stuccoed, profiled throat is set off on its ceiling. In the front room, too, there are circumferentially profiled throats with a stucco rosette in the middle. The old wooden staircase is of the typical straight counter-rotating type with a turning platform, its lower contact post is a simple rotating body, the handrails are turned. The characteristic toilet is still present on the landing between the first and second floors; the window there and the one between the upper floor and the attic are designed as stained glass windows made of small rectangular panes of different colors. In the two residential floors (the top floor has only been partially developed), old frame panel doors with the corresponding walls are almost entirely preserved. Wilhelmstrasse represents the development of Viersen as a rapidly growing city in the second half of the 19th century in terms of course and structure. In terms of urban planning, the straight streets on both sides of the main street with their large number of historic buildings are an essential characteristic of Viersen. The basis for this is the town plan from 1858/60, to which Wilhelmstrasse also goes back. According to the building application, the building at Wilhelmstrasse 33 was built in 1875 by the contractor Cuylen for Friedrich Genenger. As early as 1877, however, another owner, Joh. Peters (Sen.), signed another planning application for the rear building as the client. Joh. Peters (senior), owner of the shop of the same name on Hauptstrasse, does not live in this house himself, but rents it out. Based on the contemporary plans that have been preserved, the street was mainly built in the 1870s. A large part of these buildings is still preserved today and gives the street a very vivid historical character. As part of a largely preserved original ensemble on Wilhelmstrasse, the Wilhelmstrasse 33 building is therefore important for Viersen. Since this is a well-preserved testimony to urban residential architecture from the 1870s, with a comparatively strict, still classicist facade design and typical interior fittings (floor plan, stairs, doors, ceilings), it is preserved and used for scientific, in particular architectural and historical reasons a public interest. There are also local history, as the house as the original building on Wilhelmstrasse shows its historical origins, which are centrally linked to the urban development of Viersen. Finally, there are also urban planning reasons, as the Wilhelmstrasse 33 building is part of a historic street that is characterized by similar buildings and characterizes the type and proportion of the development on Wilhelmstrasse. Since the requirements of § 2 (1) of the Monument Protection Act NW are met, it is a monument.	1875	June 28, 2000	387
	Residential building	Viersen Wilhelmstrasse 35 map	The three-storey building is part of a row of houses that was built around 1900 on Wilhelmstrasse. The building file refers to the year of construction 1875. The facade is divided into four axes. The entrance is on the right axis, the passage to the courtyard is on the left, with two windows in between. A window is assigned to each axis on the upper and attic floors. The facade is emphasized horizontally by the base cornice and the first floor plastering with a cordon. A structured cornice leads to the roof. The house is emphasized by the central decoration with window gables, historicizing and floral stucco decor. The entrance with the original front door is given special emphasis. For scientific, in particular architectural, urban development and urban planning reasons, the preservation and use of the building are in accordance with Section 2 (1) of the Monument Protection Act in the public interest.	1875	0Dec. 4, 1985	57
	Residential building	Viersen Wilhelmstrasse 37 map	The building is a three-story residential building with a gable roof. The brick plaster facade with its historic decor is given a horizontal structure through the strongly structured plasterwork as well as the floor and sill cornices. This is underlined by the cross-arched frieze between the ground floor and the first floor. The house, built around the turn of the century, has a rich facade decoration, partly in geometric, partly in vegetable ornamentation. The facade of the house is divided into three axes, the left also being the entrance axis. The entrance, each surrounded by a wall column (services) and a slightly decorated shoulder arch, forms a special eye-catcher alongside the richly decorated window reveals on the first floor. The windows on the ground floor have geometric shapes and shoulder arches. In terms of their structure, these resemble the decorative shapes of the entrance. In addition to the facade decorations at the entrance, the eye-catcher of the house is the middle window on the first floor with its rich facade decoration. The window is framed by a column, which has floral decorations on the lower shaft and tapers towards the top. At the top, the keel arch with vegetal ornamentation can be seen. The leaf frieze that climbs from the central window of the first floor forms a connection to the second floor. Only the head with an arch and floral ornaments can be found on the side windows. The window sides are bordered by geometric bands, as are the windows on the second floor. The floor plan of the house is unchanged. The original wooden staircase with turned railing and the richly decorated start post are still in the hallway. The wooden interior doors and the stairwell windows have also been preserved. The cellar has a barrel vault. The house at Wilhelmstrasse 37 represents a link in the row of houses that is viewed as an ensemble. The complex facade design typical of the time characterizes the contemporary building type of the stately residential building, which here reflects the historic cityscape. For scientific, in particular architectural, urban development and urban planning reasons, the preservation and use of the building are in the public interest in accordance with Section 2 (1) of the Monument Protection Act.	1877	0Nov 6, 1990	244
	Residential building	Viersen Wilhelmstrasse 39 map	The planning application for the building at Wilhelmstrasse 39 dates from April 9, 1875, as was the planning application for the neighboring house at Wilhelmstrasse 41. The house is part of a continuous row of similar three-story eaves-standing residential buildings (Wilhelmstrasse 19-45), and in this it belongs to the ensemble of particularly well-preserved historicist facades (Wilhelmstrasse 33-43). It is the three-axis type with input in one of the outer axes, here on the left. Its brick plaster facade is elaborately ornamented and so similar to the neighboring building at Wilhelmstrasse 37 that the same builder can be accepted here. Above a low plinth, two rows of ashlar plaster are initially arranged up to the sills of the ground floor windows, above which begins the grouted brick masonry, which structures the rest of the facade in small pieces. The upright rectangular window openings with a straight lintel have a wide plaster frame that is designed and ornamented differently on the individual floors. On the ground floor it has bulges (" ears ") below, on the sides in the middle and above , as well as a wedge stone with floral trim. The entrance is framed by a pilaster, with pedestals that take up the horizontal line of the cornice, a richly decorated capital and straight entablature. The door itself, renewed according to the old model, is a bit blended and can be reached via two steps. The ground floor and first floor are separated by a wide floor frieze consisting of pointed arches with floral motifs lined up between horizontal profiles; its upper end also connects the sills of the upper floor windows. Their rich decoration characterizes the upper floor as a bel étage. The central window opening, which is framed by two columns on high, floral decorated pedestals and covered by a convex arch, is particularly emphasized. The tip of this "arch" extends to the lower edge of the attic window above. The arched field is adorned with a coat of arms. The outer windows are also crowned by high keel arches on consoles. Its arched field, as well as the consoles and the column capitals of the central window, are again covered with floral decorations. The upper and attic storeys are not separated by a cornice, probably because this does not harmonize with the high-reaching crowning of the windows below. The attic window openings are a little lower and only have a simple plaster frame, so that they are identified as the "inferior" in the facade according to type. The windows are now renewed according to the old model with T-partitions and non-original roller shutter panels. Inside, the typical features of a floor plan of this type of urban apartment building can be seen. The side entrance hall leads back to the stairs. The rear building has been preserved. The entrance and stairway are separated from each other by a passage with a stuccoed round arch on cantilever brackets. The lower throat is covered with two festoons, above is a bead covered with foliage, which in turn is surmounted by several profile plates that lead over to the round arch. The original wooden staircase is the usual straight type with turned sticks and large starting posts. The bars between the ground floor and first floor were renewed according to the old model. The client is Franz Röhlen, who works for the Schaub & Heckmann velvet weaving mill on Burgstrasse in Viersen. The following can be found in Stephan Stiegen's youth memories regarding his parents' house building on the cloister pond: “An employee of Schaub & Heckmann gave the remaining 4,000 marks in return for a mortgage entry at the very moderate interest rate of 4%. This Herr Röhlen lived with his wife in a beautiful house of their own on Wilhelmstrasse; they had no children. When father paid the mortgage interest in cash at New Year's, he usually took me with him. ”In terms of its course and structure, Wilhelmstrasse represents the development of Viersen as a rapidly growing city in the second half of the 19th century. In terms of urban planning, the straight streets on both sides of the main street with their large number of historic buildings are an essential characteristic of Viersen. The basis for this is the town plan from 1858/60, to which Wilhelmstrasse also goes back. Based on the contemporary plans that have been preserved, the street was mainly built in the 1870s. A large part of these buildings is still preserved today and gives the street a very vivid historical character. As part of a largely preserved original ensemble on Wilhelmstrasse, the Wilhelmstrasse 39 building is therefore important for Viersen. Since it is a well-preserved example of urban residential architecture from the 1870s, with a comparatively lavishly ornamented facade design and some typical interior features such as floor plan and stairs, there is a public interest in its preservation and use for scientific, in particular architectural-historical reasons. There are also local history, as the house as the original building on Wilhelmstrasse shows its historical origins, which are centrally linked to the urban development of Viersen. Finally, there are also urban planning reasons, as building Wilhelmstraße 39 is part of a historical street with similar buildings, which defines the type and proportion of the buildings on Wilhelmstraße. Since the requirements of § 2 (1) of the Monument Protection Act NW are met, it is a monument.	1875	June 28, 2000	388
	Residential building	Viersen Wilhelmstrasse 41 map	It is a three-storey residential building on four axes. On the ground floor there is the passage to the courtyard on the left and the front door on the right. The ground floor bears a strip of plaster over the base and sill cornice, above which a wide cornice band leads over to the sills of the upper floor windows on the upper floor. Its windows are accentuated with a straight roof, otherwise the windows only have simple plaster frames. The smaller attic windows also sit on a cornice. The facade is characterized by a comparatively strict, simple design, without any special stucco ornaments. The numerous horizontal lines of the cornices and the striped plaster determine the visual impression. The windows and balustrade are formally based on old models, the front doors have been modernized. The roof area has no visible extensions. The interior has been completely modernized, only the original staircase is partially still there. Due to the special, valuable urban development situation in Wilhelmstrasse and in the ensemble of houses Wilhelmstrasse 33-43, a monument value exists, which, however, due to the thorough modernization of the interior, is limited to the street-side facade of the house including the visible roof area. Wilhelmstrasse represents the development of Viersen as a rapidly growing city in the second half of the 19th century in terms of course and structure.

A large part of these buildings is still preserved today and gives the street a very vivid historical character. As part of a largely preserved original ensemble on Wilhelmstrasse, the street-side facade of the Wilhelmstrasse 41 building is therefore important for Viersen. For urban planning reasons, there is a public interest in its preservation, as it is part of a historic street, which is characterized by buildings of the same type and which characterizes the type and proportion of the buildings on Wilhelmstrasse. There are also scientific, in particular local historical reasons, as the facade as part of an original building on Wilhelmstrasse shows its historical origins, which are centrally linked to the urban development of Viersen. Thus, the requirements of § 2 (1) of the Monument Protection Act NW are met. The street-side facade of the house at Wilhelmstrasse 41, including the roof area visible from the street, is a monument.	1875	July 18, 2001	421
	Residential building	Viersen Wilhelmstrasse 43 map	The two-storey residential building with a small mezzanine is part of an ensemble of similar eaves-facing residential buildings from the 1870s on Wilhelmstrasse. On the site plan for the building application for the neighboring house, Wilhelmstrasse 41, dated April 16, 1875, it is already listed as a building, i.e. H. at this time it is at least under construction or already completed. A "Hrch" Nellen is indicated as the property owner. In 1914 a Joh. Peters, Krefeld, applied for a change to the rear extension. In 1877 he was the owner of the house at Wilhelmstrasse 33. The ground floor of the three-axle house is provided with ashlar plaster. The two windows stand on a cornice and have a wide, drilled plaster frame, the lintel of which is adorned with historical vegetal decor. The entrance, arranged in the left axis, with the front door nested behind two flat steps, is provided with an elaborate crowning of a curtain-like arch stretched between pinnacles, which interrupts the cornice. On the upper floor, the facade is designed as a brick surface, which is structured by plaster elements. Curved bands on the side demarcate the structure from the neighboring buildings. Cornice-like strips at the sill and lintel level divide the building horizontally. Geometric tracery motifs (Dreischneuss) are attached to the parapets of the two right-hand windows. The lintels of all three windows are crowned by lavish geometric-vegetable ornamental forms with wedge stones and curved roofs. Finally, the low mezzanine shows small rectangular openings arranged in pairs in the window axes with drilled frames, which are connected by a plaster band with a three-pass ornament. Inside, the floor plan with a side hallway and stairs has been preserved. In the larger room on the street side there is still a stucco ceiling. It is very likely that there are more stucco ceilings and old doors with door frames under paneling. Some old frame panel doors are visible without paneling. The wooden staircase is original and shows the usual straight counter-rotating design with turned balusters and columnar starting posts. In contrast to other comparable buildings on Wilhelmstrasse, both the interior mezzanine floor and the rear annex have been preserved.

	Holy House	Viersen Willy-Brandt-Ring Willemsche Allee map	The brick holy house was built in 1847 out of gratitude; because one year earlier the Bronkhorsthof burned down and as thanks for the fact that no one was killed or seriously injured, the house was donated. It is about 3.00 m high and has a small, slate-covered gable roof. The small, arched wooden door with the recessed window was not installed until 1960. Inside, behind a glass door, there is a figure of Our Lady with the baby Jesus, which she is carrying in her arms, and is protected. It is a so-called processional Madonna or dress-up figure, in which only the head and hands are carved from wood, while the body consists of a wooden frame. Mary wears a white robe over it, which of course is no longer the original. Mary is represented with a crown and scepter as the queen of heaven. The baby Jesus holds the world dome in her hand. In the large, barrel-vaulted niche in the vault in front of the group of figures there is an eternal light lamp and a cast-iron bell, in front of which the neighbors used to gather for worship. Our Lady is regularly worshiped in May, and it is also customary to pray here for serious illnesses. For scientific, in particular folklore and local history reasons, the preservation and use of the sanctuary are in the public interest in accordance with Section 2 (1) of the Monument Protection Act.	1847	04th July 1989	213
	Viersener Castle	Viersen Winkelstrasse 22, 24, 26, 26a, 28, 30, 32, 34, 36 map	History: The Vierkanthof is the former castle, Faeßen or Brauershof, a successor to the Viersen Castle. The farm with its dependent cottages is entered in the tranchot map of 1805/06 as “Burchof” and “Fossenhof” and is still surrounded by moats that were fed by the Rintger Siep. It will have been a former aristocratic or knight residence (the Geldrischen noblemen of Kessel?). A large part of the center of today's city of Viersen was built on the castle's country seat, the Burgfeld, which reached as far as the main street. The history of the former Viersen Castle can be traced back to the year 1369. Description: The gate wing facing Winkelstraße on the eaves side is dated to 1854 with a wedge stone above the gate passage with the inscription WWB. This wing formerly contained a horse stable and a wood store and was converted into apartments in 1910. The two-storey residential building of the courtyard complex, which is completely closed and built in a street association, extends on the eaves side to the Alte Bruchstraße. It was used exclusively for residential purposes. The kitchen and living room are on the ground floor. The upper floor is intended for bedrooms. The opposite wing of the complex is a barn. Presumably there was an open shed between the house and the barn, of which the outer wall is still preserved. The gate to Winkelstrasse completes the almost square floor plan of the facility. In contrast to the hall building on the Lower Rhine, which had an open hearth until the end of the 19th century, the stove and oven were located here under urban influence. The courtyard is built in brick, but only in the outer walls, is constructed with wooden walls on the inside. The courtyard on Winkelstrasse not only has the characteristics of a square courtyard in an almost unchanged condition, but also clearly shows the ongoing typical development of the rural courtyard. In addition to its architectural and historical significance, the farm derives its monument value from its local historical significance as a successor to the Viersen Castle and thus forms an important identifier for the history, shape and importance of the Rintgen district. For scientific, in particular architectural, local, folkloric and settlement topographical reasons, the maintenance and use of the courtyard on Winkelstraße in accordance with Section 2 (1) of the Monument Protection Act is in the public interest.	19th century	Aug 27, 1986	127
	Residential building	Viersen Wolfskull 10 card	Location and history Wolfskull 10 was built in 1975 by the architect Dr. Horst Schmitges built his own home for himself and his family on a plot of almost 1600 m². It is one of five houses in the Wolfskull residential group that share a common design language and were all built between 1972 and 1978. The entire residential group has a south / east - north / west orientation and is connected by a curved retaining wall. All five houses were built according to designs by the architect Dr. Ing.Horst Schmitges at more or less regular intervals between 1972 and 1978. The Wolfskull is located in the outer area between Viersen and Mönchengladbach and is densely forested. In the north, the property is bordered by park-like deciduous forest areas and from east to west there is an approximately three to six meter jump in terrain that slopes down to the north. The Wolfskull 10 building is the heart of the residential group. Description House Wolfskull 10 is a two-storey building. Due to the terrain jump, there is a split-level architecture. With the half-story offset, the architect reacts to the existing topography; as a result, the rear part of the building is offset by half a floor as a basement. A butterfly-like arrangement can be seen along the central axis. The building is set back from the street. Access is from the side and is therefore not directly visible. The garage is integrated into the floor plan; it also covers the side entrance. It is a white sand-lime brick masonry construction with a flat roof. A roof terrace extends over the entire roof area of ​​the basement. In addition, there is only one paved terrace area, which lies in front of the living room in the direction of the street and is to be understood in its design as an extension of the building floor plan, just like the fish tank, which is located between the garage and the terrace and is upstream of the dining area. The outdoor areas of the individual houses are not separated by fences; private areas are only screened off by wall projections. There are also no artificially created flower beds so as not to compete with nature. The forest reaches up to the building and allows the house and its surroundings to grow together imperceptibly. Rounded house corners and arched attic areas additionally support the design language of the building and can also be found inside. They refer to the gently modeled terrain and the round shape of the mighty tree trunks. Both in the direction of the street and the forest side, the house opens through full-surface windows. The other two sides of the building are viewed as closed wall panels. There are projections of the flat roof and the wall panels on all window surfaces; these also frame the windows. In the area of ​​the traffic zones there are axial, semicircular, double-shell skylight domes that have a building-connecting function. In addition, they ensure extensive exposure inside the house. Due to the diffuse forest situation, an additional shading system is not necessary. The basic principle of the internal division is a bulkhead construction, which is determined by a grid (1.20 m × 1.20 m). It offers a maximum of individual design freedom. The semicircular skylight domes, which extend 18 m from the house entrance over the entire width of the building, mark the east-west axis and cover the corridor areas of the different levels, from which the individual room areas, which are divided as required in a grid from north and south connect, can be reached. In the middle of this access axis is a spiral staircase made of white lacquered metal and tiled steps, which enables both the exit to the basement and the access to the roof terrace. The external design language of the rounded walls is repeated inside the building. In addition, all window openings extend from the floor to the lintel-free exposed concrete ceiling. These are white, powder-coated aluminum windows with double glazing. Rectangular, pure white industrial tiles are laid throughout the house, which can also be found in the outdoor area (entrance, terrace). Thus they give the impression of a flowing transition between inside and outside. In addition, the tiling supports the curves of the walls by being laid along them like an ornament with wedge and cross joints. The design concept also includes the ceiling spotlights, which - installed flush with the ceiling - can still be found in the original in every room of the house. In addition to the double garage, the kitchen, dining area and living area are located on the ground floor, while the bedroom, bathroom, study and swimming pool are located in the basement. The sequence of rooms on the ground floor is fluid. The kitchen and the dining area in front of it are open to the street, just like the living area. This is only separated from the dining area by an additional space offset. Despite its small room size of 25 m², the seamless connection with the other areas and its transparency to the outside make it appear many times larger. In contrast, the closed, invisible room layout in the basement is more conventional and fragmented. The two children's rooms are separated from each other by a folding wall. In this way, a large room can be created as required. A large, integrated plastic sanitary unit consisting of a sink, bathtub and bidet dominates the wet cell area. In addition, the room is optically enlarged by wall-high mirrors. The ground floor with the living area is oriented to the south with its windows, while the basement with the bedrooms opens to the north. The open fireplace in the middle of the room, around which the furniture is grouped and dominates the situation, should be mentioned as creating space in the living area. It is embedded in a black-painted concrete shell and the chimney hood can be pulled down if necessary. The seating group built around the fireplace fits harmoniously into the overall picture and, like the fitted kitchen, the dining area and the master bedroom, is to be understood as part of the architectural concept. The wall between the bedroom and the hallway and the wall between the bedroom and the swimming pool should be mentioned as special designs. The sand-lime bricks are offset from one another in a herringbone pattern. This creates coarse grid areas on which a fascinating play of light and shadow takes place. Additional mirrors placed on some stones break the sunlight and increase the effect. This idiosyncratic structure creates space. The room organization works with steps, protruding wall panels and built-in furniture (brick bookcase, fitted kitchen, cloakroom, spiral staircase) in a small space. The building is dominated by its architectural form and the play of light and shadow. Neither exquisite materials nor expensive interiors or special colored accents are decisive for the design. The dominant color is white. The house thus adapts to the poor light forest situation. Lime sandstone fair-faced masonry that is whitewashed or colorless impregnated, white-painted reinforced concrete ceilings, pure white industrial tiles and white powder-coated aluminum windows and glass are the predominant building materials. The consistently white-transparent color concept incorporates the green of the surrounding deciduous forest into the interior of the house. The entire interplay of the seasons with its diversity and color compositions can also be experienced inside the house. Architect and client Dr. Ing.Horst Schmitges was born on February 27, 1939 in Düsseldorf. The family moved to Mönchengladbach as early as 1942. He began his architecture studies in 1960 at RWTH Aachen, which he completed in 1965. In the same year he joined the office of Prof. Eller-Moser-Walter and at the same time began his doctorate at the Chair of Building History and Monument Preservation at RWTH Aachen University under Professor Willy Weyres, from whom he received his doctorate in 1969 on the work of the architect Caspar Clemens Pickel. Great influence on Dr. Ing. Schmitges took Professor Rudolf Steinbach. He was an advocate of ascetic, reductionist design and taught as a professor for building construction theory at the RWTH Aachen. The transition to self-employment was fluid. In addition to building projects that he supervised for the office of Prof. Eller-Moser-Walter, the Wolfskull residential group was one of his first projects. In May 1973, after gradually leaving the office of Prof. Eller-Moser-Walter, he finally founded his own office in Mönchengladbach. While working with Prof. Eller-Moser-Walter on projects such as the Büttgen Town Hall, the Westphalia-Lippe University of Education in Hüttental / Weidenau, the data center FF Bayer AG Leverkusen, the Vorwerk and Co. head office in Wuppertal and the Berg Sion monastery in Schoenstatt realized, were and the projects of his office are more likely to be found in residential building. Some of his early projects include: the Wolfskull residential group in Viersen, the R. Otten residential building in Mönchengladbach, the König residential building in Viersen, the extension of the Catholic secondary school in Mönchengladbach and the Nordhausen residential building in Roetgen / Aachen. Dr. Ing.Horst Schmitges together with artists like Heinz Mack and Adolf Luther; two outstanding representatives of light art and the ZERO group. Assessment In terms of architectural history and style, the Wolfskull 10 house cannot be clearly assigned to an architectural direction. It is only partially in the tradition of classical modernism, in which the interlocking of inside and outside and the rejection of traditional design and spatial patterns are in the foreground. The floor plan conception and spatial development show a special quality and can be experienced through the original preservation and the recognizable high standard. Also worth mentioning are the small rooms (especially on the rear floor). The existing density differs from the theory of the “boundless space” of functionalist modernity. Dealing with the existing nature in terms of visual and spatial relationships and the vegetation, but also in terms of the inclusion of light in the planning of the building shows the careful and considered approach of the architect. With its staggered floors along the jump in the terrain, the house fits seamlessly into the existing topography. The transition from outside to inside is fluid; Large window walls and exposed brickwork inside also support this. The furnishing of the building continues the architectural character of the house and supports the basic idea of ​​the concept with its design. Both nationally and internationally there are several publications about Wolfskull 10; mostly from the 1980s. As an exceptionally high-quality house from the 1970s by a well-known architect, the Wolfskull 10 house is important for Viersen. There is a public interest in the preservation and use for scientific, in particular architectural-historical reasons. It is therefore an architectural monument in accordance with Section 2 of the NRW Monument Protection Act. The front terrace and the fish tank also belong to the scope of protection, as they are an extension of the building's floor plan.	1975	09 Mar 2015	515
	Dahlhof	Süchteln Zerresweg 52 map	The brick-facing, four-wing courtyard, which is typical of the landscape and is located at the present-day local border of Süßen1n, is a former stable house, barn and gate building as well as a coach house. The building complex has grown together over the years through the use of certain extensions with a second courtyard. The settlement consists of several farm buildings, which are named Dahlhöfe. The residential stable house, presumably built at the end of the 18th century, can be assigned to the newer type of the Lower Rhine hall house. The facade of what is probably the oldest part of the complex is designed symmetrically. In the middle is the gate entrance, next to each of the two stable windows that are divided into bars, above the gate entrance are two windows, above in the top of the gable is another one of the same size. The ceiling anchors above the upper floor are designed with the letters ANNO. A cross anchor is attached in the middle above the gate entrance. In addition, two beam anchors that show the construction axes in the facade. The four-axis construction system is clearly recognizable inside the building. The oak frame construction in the stable area was replaced by steel supports. The top floor as well as the loft are still unchanged in the original beam construction. On the left side, covered by the remise, is a larger relief arch and on the left side of the facade a door closed with bricks in the masonry can be seen. The windows and the door are covered with arches, which are blown in the middle with a wedge stone. The original residential part of the residential and stable house was probably replaced in the middle of the 19th century by a two-story brick building with a gable roof in five to three axes. The house is designed symmetrically and its gable is oriented across the former stable part. The eaves and the main facade of the house face east. The center is emphasized by the raised door with a skylight. Two window axes are arranged on both sides of the door, the window and door are framed by profiled stucco walls. The windows are still in their original condition and on the upper floor and the door are covered with a blind lintel. A cornice structured in the masonry leads to the roof. The south gable side of the house has three window axes, with a window on the middle axis illuminating the loft. Inside the building, the original tiled floor has been preserved as well as some furnishings from the former house. In addition to the southern gable of the house, the former horse stable is offset, it was probably built in 1935 in connection with the renovation work on the gate. The gable of the single-storey extension ends with a stepped brick verge. Here two lattice windows covered with arches illuminate the attic. The door is offset to the side and a stable window to the left. Another window opening with grilles is to the right of the door. The barn forms the southern wing of the courtyard. Above the gate to the courtyard there is a wedge with the inscription PJZ, underneath ASL, and the year 1892; the barn wing and the gate were probably built together, with a gable with the inscription of the year 1935 added to the gate passage, as can be seen in the masonry. Inside, vertical ladders and the roof structure have been preserved. The passage in the gate building is aligned with the gate in the former residential and stable house. Cobblestones running across the courtyard are used as a connecting element. The rest of the courtyard area is paved with pebbles. A structure can be clearly seen here with large stones in parallel sections. The northern wing and the connection to the neighboring courtyard is formed by a shed. There is also an old tree population on the associated site, one of which is a chestnut. The landscape-defining courtyard complex not only points to the typical features of the Lower Rhine hall house in its residential stable house, but also clearly shows the ongoing typical development of the rural courtyard complex in the Viersen area in the 18th and 19th centuries. For scientific, in particular architectural, folklore, landscape-related and settlement topographical reasons, the maintenance and use of the Dahlhof is in the public interest in accordance with Section 2 (1) of the Monument Protection Act.

	Herbert Norkus School	Viersen Zweorstrasse 1 map	History: An article in the Rheinische Landeszeitung on September 12, 1937, which is printed in the Schulchronik 1938–1988, pp. 45 ff., Describes in detail the early school history of Bockert and Hoser. The first documentary mention of a school in Bockert dates back to the 17th century: after Mackes, in 1666 (on Kreuzstrasse) an angle school was set up for the then honors, which existed there until 1825. It is the second oldest school in today's Viersen city area after the school at Schultheißenhof. In 1825, the same year in which the Prussian (national) school system was introduced as a whole as a whole by means of a cabinet order, Bockert received a new school building that was in use until a new building was built in 1879. By separating separate schools for Hoser and Oberbeberich, the elementary school system developed further apart until it was reunited with the new building of the two-gate school in 1938. According to the school chronicle, the building site on the corner of Hardter Straße and Zweorstraße was actually intended for a new church. The new joint school run by Bockert, Hoser and Oberbeberich was initially called "Herbert-Norkus-Schule" until 1945, after a Hitler boy who died in a shooting in Berlin in 1932 and then as a "martyr in the Nazi regime "(Model for the film" Hitlerjunge Quex "); the day of his death (January 24th) was declared the day of mourning for the National Socialist youth. It is no coincidence that the inauguration of the new school took place on Jan. 24, 1938. The first rector was Karl Radermacher, who had previously headed the old Bockerter school. In 1939 the Catholic elementary school was converted into a simultaneous German school in accordance with the National Socialist school policy. After the school had ceased operations due to the war, the city administration temporarily moved into the building in autumn 1944, as it was hoped that here, outside the city center, would be more secure from air raids. On March 1, 1945, American troops occupied the school building and destroyed large parts of the inventory. In May 1945 repair work began on the otherwise relatively little destroyed school, so that classes could be resumed on August 13, 1945. After the original name was changed to “Schule an der Zweorstrasse”, after a vote in 1946 it was re-established as a “Catholic elementary school”, which was then converted into a Catholic elementary school in 1968. As a noteworthy structural expansion, a roofed break hall and in 1964 a gym were added after the war. So far, other structural measures have mainly concerned the heating system. According to the chronicle, the striking yellow plaster color of the exterior comes from 1982. Description: The school, located on a corner plot, extends with its broad long side along the (subordinate) Zweorstraße. A low brick wall runs around the street side of the building, which forms a small forecourt in front of the entrance and then leads to the rear of the school yard. The two main floors, plastered over a brick-veneered base, are covered by a large hipped roof, only occasionally opened with dormers. The line of the building is about a third of the length from the left on Zweorstrasse; In the ground plan, the building is accordingly a combination of three wings directed at right angles to each other, which is also clear in the view on the courtyard side, as the transverse entrance wing is preferred here as a risalit. The perforated facade is proportioned by upright rectangular windows bundled into groups of four (which reflects the individual classrooms). Large parts of the wall at the building edges are not windowed through, as they form the front sides of cross-oriented classrooms. They therefore provided a background for a clock (on the street corner; no longer available) or probably the lettering of the former school name. In addition, downpipes at the points provided in the design plan help structure the wide facade. The main entrance with a double-winged, large-area windowed wooden door is located behind a small open vestibule, which is opened by round arches with wedge-shaped stones (pillars and arches covered with brick). Above the arches, the rector's room is marked with an exit in front of the French door. To the side of this, two small round windows also enliven the wall surface of the entrance wing. Three small, original dormer windows face the Zweorstrasse. The two narrow sides are also windowed with four class windows per floor. The courtyard side has smaller windows (for the corridors) that are not bundled into groups, which gives it a somewhat less finely proportioned appearance. The courtyard exit and part of the ground floor are now covered under a newer break hall, the original staircase with rounded cheek walls at the rear exit and an outside drinking fountain have been changed or removed. A slim, upright rectangular staircase window accentuates the side surface of the entrance projectile. On the left wing as seen from the courtyard, a double, brick-walled exit leads to the cellar, to the separate sanitary rooms for boys and girls. The windows have been renewed with a division based on the old model. Inside, the floor plan and some characteristic equipment details have largely been preserved. What is to be emphasized is the unity of the floor plan, i. H. Instead of a central corridor there is a side corridor directly exposed to daylight, which opens up the (class) rooms located on only one side or on the forehead. Both floors contain five identically arranged classes. As can already be seen from the outside by the exits, the rector's room is in a prominent position above the entrance. The wall cladding made of light natural stone in the corridors has a defining effect on the room. On the upper floor, a drinking fountain from the construction period with this cladding is still preserved, its counterpart on the ground floor has been removed (the arched elevation of the wall cladding, however, still marks its old location). In the central entrance wing there is the original staircase with flat stone steps (straight, two-way with a 90 degree change of direction) and simple metal railing. The central joint function of the entrance wing underlines the central location of the staff room and teaching material room next to the stairs (both equipped with wall cupboards). The classroom floors are parquet. A remarkable historical memento is the preserved door of an old air raid shelter in the basement, which was already included in the planning in 1936/37. Architectural-historical appreciation and monument value The school on Zweorstraße is a clearly preserved testimony to the school architecture of the 1930s, with its essential elements. Their traditionalist vocabulary of forms is taken from the Heimatschutz architecture, which was used in schools as well as z. B. was binding for smaller public administration buildings, military buildings and in the settlement sector. Characteristic features are the broad structure, whose simple plastered facade without ornamentation is structured solely by the proportions of the openings and isolated demonstrative craftsmanship-traditionalist details (here e.g. the arches of the entrance). The division of the space program into wings grouped at right angles to one another and a large-area, building-shaped pitched roof are further characteristics. It is remarkable how the grouping of the openings reveals the internal distribution of space on the exterior. Inside, other typical school building details such as a one-hip floor plan, wall cladding and drinking fountain have been preserved. Within Viersen, the school on Zweorstrasse is certainly the best quality and best preserved example of school architecture from the 1930s. It is therefore an important link between the primary school in Hamm with its typical, expressionist forms of the 1920s and the school building of the post-war period. In addition to these architectural-historical aspects, the school on Zweorstrasse is of course also of local historical importance as a central elementary school, later elementary school in the southern districts of Bockert, Oberbereich and Hoser. Due to its prominent corner location and its character that characterizes the street space within Zweorstraße, which is co-designed by a high-quality row of uniform older, stylistically similar housing developments, the school also has considerable urban significance. The surrounding low fencing underlines this function. As a former elementary school, now a primary school in the local areas of Bockert, Hoser and Oberbeberich, the school on Zweorstraße is important for Viersen. There is a public interest in the preservation and use of the school building, including the fencing, from the scientific, especially architectural and local history as well as urban planning reasons. According to § 2 (1) Monument Protection Act, it is therefore an architectural monument.	1938	May 31, 2001	409
