This property is an eaves-standing, single-storey residential building with a loft and a tiled gable roof.

The building is built on one side, has 2 axes and its facade consists of smooth cement plaster (mineral-colored) on field fire brick masonry. The windows are covered in segmental arches, have pronounced walls and are also spanned by a segmented cornice arch. The eaves consists of a three-part toothed cornice, and in the middle of the facade there is a horizontal plaster tape, which is also integrated into the walls in the area of ​​the two windows. The floor plans on the first and second floors are still in the old layout. The house was built in 1890 as a domicile close to the workplace for the employees of the former Deuß und Oetker cloth factory (today Verseidag AG). To this day, it is an important document of local history, the history of the textile industry on the Lower Rhine and a testimony to the factory and settlement architecture of the late 19th century, from which the working and living conditions of the time can be read. There is therefore a public interest in the maintenance and use of this building.

This property, Albert-Oetker-Str. 22, is one of the oldest houses in the so-called silk weaver settlement.

It is a single-storey, eaves-standing building with a tiled gable roof. The house is built on two sides, is triaxial and its facade consists of smooth cement plaster (mineral-colored) on field-fired brick masonry. The windows are covered in segmental arches and have pronounced walls. The ground floor windows in the street front area are also covered with a segmented ledge arch. Above the 3rd axis (front door) there is a roof with a central arched window. The eaves are designed as a three-part toothed cornice. In the middle of the facade there is a horizontal plaster tape which is integrated into the front door border. The floor plans on the first and second floors are still in the old layout. As mentioned above, the house is part of the so-called "Seidenwebersiedlung", built around 1890 as a place of residence for the employees of the former cloth factory Deuss and Oetker (today Verseidag AG). To this day, it is an important document of local history, the history of the textile industry on the Lower Rhine and a testimony to the factory and settlement architecture of the late 19th century, from which the working and living conditions of the time can be read.

Furthermore, they have continued historicizing decorative forms in the area of ​​the facades and eaves cornices, including partly horizontal friezes, pilaster strips in the surfaces and at the corners as verges, 2-step gable turrets with arched blind openings and exhibited stylized cornices. The facility is an important testimony to the history of the Schiefbahn district as well as to the working, production and living conditions in a branch of industry that is important and typical for the left Lower Rhine. The design of the complex suggests that it should be protected for scientific, architectural, historical and artistic reasons.

On the history of the St.-Bernhard-Gymnasium:

The St. Bernhard Mission School in Schiefbahn was founded on October 15, 1946. The initiators were the local pharmacist Hans Schmitz, formerly an oblate student himself, and Father Mehren, at that time chaplain in Lürrip. The school first moved into the summer villa of the silk manufacturer Albert Oetker, which had been used as a Nazi Gau school in the Third Reich. The Bernhards patronage was chosen as a reference for the Schiefbahn pastor Bernhard Nicolini, who had also been very committed to the settlement. With the growing number of pupils and the (provisional) appointment to the Progymnasium, a new school and monastery was built in 1953 according to plans by the architect Kampshoff (Borken). While these buildings remained conventional in terms of design, the chapel built in 1961/62 was already considered to be a seldom spectacular building in the immediate vicinity. With the final elevation to the Progymnasium in 1960, the school also lost its character as a mission school (for the next generation of religious orders) and opened up to the outside world. Further new school buildings were built in 1968 and in the 1970s. Since the mid-1980s, negotiations about the departure (which took place in 1993) were conducted by the city of Willich. However, the school remained in the private ownership of the Order of the Huenfeld Oblates. The former chapel has now been rededicated to a "forum", i. H. it no longer has consecrated status.

Description:

This chapel, built after a limited competition (1960) in 1961-62, with all its architectural details is a well-done representation of sacred modernity, integrated into the environment of high-storey school buildings, spacious park and Wilhelminian style villa. The defining component of the reinforced concrete skeleton structure, the conciseness of which is also expressed in its frequent use as a logo, is the folded helmet pyramid made of concrete, which identifies the chapel as a tent roof type. This pyramid of helmets, representing the tent of God among the people, is supported by 12 symmetrically arranged pillars, manifesting the 12 apostles. 9 side altars are grouped around the main altar as the ideal center, in axial alignment and in relation to the main altar, within a circumferential, lower "chapel wreath" separated from the central area by lattice stones. In order to prepare the believer for the service or the sacrifice, the church doors do not lead directly into the main chapel room. Only after walking through the entrance hall and the atrium, which is open at the top and closed on all sides from the environment, does the visitor pass through a trapezoidal vestibule (with baptismal font) into the central room, whose floor is covered with Norwegian quartzite slabs. In addition, two sacristies and two other chapels, the “house chapel” and the “Maria Schnee” chapel, were housed in the annex or wing buildings in front of the chapel. These rooms are now z. Partly converted (the house chapel today the library, the Maria Schnee chapel is still used for church services), but structurally largely unchanged. The original design also includes a bell tower that was placed at the (former) transition from the house chapel to the neighboring school or monastery wing in front of the line of the entrance building. The concrete colored glass windows in the central building, the entrance hall and the two (former) chapel rooms, which frame wall panels on the sides and above, are to be emphasized. The artistic design for the windows comes from Sr. E (h) rentrud Trost from the Benedictine Abbey of Varensell (Westphalia). In the middle of the atrium is a sculpture of the founder of the order (OMI), Eugen von Mazenod, Bishop of Marseille, b. Aug. 1, 1782, d. May 21, 1861, by Pope Paul VI. Beatified on Oct. 19, 1975. Furthermore, the artistic and well-crafted doors in the access to the main room made of solid bronze, including the partially figurative door handles that are present here and on the doors in the entrance porch, as well as the relief outside above the main entrance, are strikingly expressive.

Appreciation:

Functional and liturgical ideas shape the shape of the Bernhardskapelle and make it a very clear testimony to the modern church building after 1945. Some symbolic contents such as the tent roof and the number twelve have already been mentioned in the description. In addition, the chapel is determined by the tension between the central building character of the central polygon and the simultaneous directionality of the routing and the arrangement of the altar within the building. The chapel is conceptually at a very important interface. Starting from the endeavor to increase the participation of the faithful in the celebration of mass, especially in the Catholic church building of the Rhineland, more central buildings were built around the mid-1950s, which contain exactly the compromise between centrality (building structure) and directionality (no centralization of the altar) . Unless it is only about partial buildings such as If, for example, the traditionally centralized baptistery is concerned, these can indeed be seen as an anticipation of the ideas propagated in Vatican II. In Schiefbahn is due to the very precisely developed routing of the entrant u. a. this directionality is emphasized by the vestibule, atrium and porch. The arrangement of the nine side altars in the three-quarter circle around the altar, traditionally known as the “chapel wreath”, also contributes to the small-scale routing inside, although the unusual structural solution to this idea, as evidenced by the plan drawings that have been preserved and the later problems of interpretation, is not was easy. Like the central building, the tent roof concept is a typical innovative element of the church building around 1960, which combines in a crooked way with the new design possibilities of the building material concrete to form an extremely striking roof shape. This roof shape was used particularly in smaller rural churches or chapels. Roof folds of this kind were often referred to around 1960 as a new “secret” Gothic, in contrast to the sometimes very sober formal language of previous years. Finally, a typologically unambiguous, also typical recourse to traditional forms is the integration of an atrium into the overall complex, which creates a direct reference to early Christian or medieval complexes. Furthermore, as in the two winged chapels, the general tendency of modern church construction towards a differentiated structure of the building is expressed. The architect Josef Bieling (1919–1980 or 1981) made a name for himself in his hometown of Kassel and in neighboring areas, in particular through some highly regarded church buildings and restorations. The Bonifatiuskirche from 1957 was included in the Brockhaus as the “most striking Kassel building of the post-war period”. His buildings also found their way into architectural guides and standard works on the history of church building in the 20th century, including: Kassel, Herz-Mariä-Kirche (1957); Maintal-Dörnig-Heim, Maria Königin (1957); Moringen, St. Ulrich (1959); Grebendorf b. Eschwege, cath. Tent church (1960/61); Hanover, To the Holy Angels (1963/64); Bad Wildungen-Rheinhardshausen, St. Liborius (1966); Kassel, St. Theresia (1970); Maunburg (district Kassel), family rest home (m. A. von Branca, 173). In addition to Kassel, Bieling was also extensively active in the Hildesheim diocese; of church buildings are known here: Göttingen, St. Godehard, 1959; Göttingen-Giesmar, Marie Frieden, 1961; Göttingen-Weende, St. Vinzens, 1960; Hannover-Kirchrode, Holy Angels, 1964; Moringen, St. Ulrich, 1959; Uslar-Volprichausen, St. Joseph, 1961; Wahlsburg-Lippoldsberg (Bodenfelde), St. Maria Goretti, 1957.

Monument value:

The St.-Bernhards-Gymnasium, which emerged from the mission school of the Hünfeld Oblates, has become an integral part of the local history of Schiefbahn after more than fifty years of existence. The chapel is a meaningful and structural expression of this work that was already highly regarded at the time of construction. Your folded tent roof has literally become a logo. Thus the church is important for Willich. For the above-mentioned scientific, local and cultural-historical reasons, there is a public interest in maintaining and using the largely unchanged chapel. There are also reasons for the history of the architecture and church building, as it is a clear testimony to important trends in (Catholic) church building around 1960. It is therefore an architectural monument in accordance with § 2 of the Monument Protection Act (DSchG) NRW.

Alperhof Alperhof Willich
Alperheide 65
map
The origins of this courtyard go back to the middle of the 17th century. Alperhof was mentioned in the Hardter Honschaft on Feller Kirchweg as early as 1660.

The farm itself was subject to tax because of its landlord dependency. In their cartographic representations of 1806, Tranchot-Müffling show a litter yard, the basic concept of which can still be recognized today, with the exception of a few minor alterations. The mansion consists of a two-storey main building and a single-storey auxiliary building with 5: 3 or 3 axes inserted across the long side. Both structures are plastered, on the two-storey component with strong corner reinforcements and a pronounced representation of the gable corridor. A horizontal gable cross band creates a separate gable triangle in which two half round arched windows (ox eyes) are particularly noticeable. The window covers are straight and have different sizes and are also shown very differentiated in their lintel heights. The masonry is made of field fire bricks, which also applies to the stables and the barn. Most of them are still in their original condition, especially with regard to the roof construction. In contrast to the residential building, the window, door and gate openings are covered in segments. The cornices are set up in three parts on the outer fronts, and the gables have strong undercut steps on the verge. The pilaster strips at the entrance to the courtyard are well developed. In addition, the abutments of the main gate cover are made of natural stone. The mansion is striking in its interior. There are still Cologne ceilings, exposed beam ceilings, beam consoles, original wooden panel doors with profiled lining and cladding, wooden staircases in a closed construction, panels and, above all, floor tiles. Since this courtyard complex still gives explicit references to the large peasantry and settlement history of that time, a protected status is inevitable.

Alte Landstrasse 33
map
The building at Alte Landstr. 33 is a two-storey house with a tile-covered gable roof and a field-fired brick facade.

The front has five axes, with the two left axes on the ground floor being combined into a larger shop window. The central axis is shown as a front door on the ground floor, while the window opening on the first floor was provided with pilaster strips on the side and covered with a flat tile roof. In the parapet area of ​​the windows on the 1st floor there are rectangular niches the width of the window, which are lined with ceramic tiles on the wall side. All openings are covered in segmental arches and, with the exception of the front door and the shop window, are framed by ashlar. Particularly noteworthy of the built-in parts are the front door, the closed wooden staircase with wooden railing and profiled entry post, the floor tiles of the ground floor hall and the stucco work on the ceiling. The house Alte Landstr. 33 varies the type of house, developed since the 18th century and represented in the 19th century, with a central aisle in the eaves side, which is usually three- or five-axis. The building is therefore significant for human history because it shows how the self-image of a building owner at the time was expressed in the detailed design of a common type of building. There are also architectural and historical reasons, because this house shows the development and design possibilities of a house type that was characteristic of 19th century building.

It is a 2-storey half-timbered house attached to the eaves. This is towed to the rear on a single storey. In the lintel, the date of construction is September 10, 1763. It was partially changed in the 19th century. It represents the transition from a farmhouse to a town house or town house. This can still be recognized by the fact that one side is towed backwards, so that a two-storey building was created here. It also has a brick painting on the wooden beams. Inside the building there are still a few religious ornaments preserved on site in the stucco ceiling. This is unique in the Viersen district. Preservation and use of the building are in the public interest for reasons of local history and urban development. 1763 Dec. 31, 1986 55


Klapdorhof courtyard Klapdorhof courtyard Schiefbahn
Alte Poststraße 2
map
The Klapdorhof is located directly on Landstrasse 361 between Schiefbahn and Neersen, north of the Niederheide district, which was created from a Honschaft. At the v. b. The courtyard is a four-winged brick complex. The two-storey residential building is located in the south / south-east corner of the Hofgeviert, which is mostly made up of the large, externally single-storey farm buildings with their wall and roof areas that are closed to the outside. This residential building has two façades that stand out due to their design: on the one hand the gable side facing the Landstrasse, on the other hand the eaves side facing a temporary path. The gable side is now disfigured by modern clinking; the former structure of the pilaster strips is still recognizable. The old front door is still there. The five-axis eaves side, on the other hand, still largely shows the old masonry with its distinctive structures: cornices, eaves frieze, pilaster strips at the corners (with pinnacle-like crowns) and on both sides of the central axis, the upper window of which is also highlighted by the window sill and lintel canopy made of natural stone. The two outward facing facades of the house are complemented by a small garden, the wall of which has been preserved with ornamental grille.

A large number of historical structural and equipment elements are present inside the house. In addition to the house door already mentioned, there is the decorative floor made of Mettlach tiles, the simple wooden staircase, doors and some remarkable wall cupboards in historical shapes. There may be other decorative details (stucco, ceiling profiles) under the suspended ceilings. All elements mentioned and the roof structure are apparently in good condition. The size and design of the farm buildings also demonstrate the former importance of the courtyard. The gate passage and the adjacent building to the northeast of the residential building deserve special mention. The friezes below the eaves and on the gable, typical of the time and nature, are also present on the other farm buildings, which can be seen particularly well on the barn building in the north-west. The roof areas, closed on both sides, combine the square to form a uniform overall effect, which is also subordinated to individual later additions and extensions. In terms of historical elements, Prussian cap ceilings on cast-iron supports in the eastern stable area are particularly worthy of mention. As far as can be seen, the roof structure is still in good condition. The courtyard is finally shaped by a mighty chestnut tree placed in the middle, which is also placed under protection. There is a public interest in the maintenance and use of the Klapdorhof

a.) Particularly for reasons of local history and the history of the settlement, as it is an important farmyard that has been documented since the Middle Ages and is a testimony to the Niederheide community. Ludwig Hügen has worked out in his book "Alte Bauernhöfe in Schiefbahn" that Niederheide is one of the settlement centers of Schiefbahn. The Klapdorhof itself is part of a typical landscape sequence of courtyards along a floor channel within the interruption;

b.) for scientific reasons, particularly for architectural-historical reasons, as the structural forms, including the equipment details that still convey an overall impression, are evidence of agricultural construction at the end of the 19th century with above-average standards.

The Klapdorhof in Willich-Schiefbahn, Alte Poststr. 2, is important for an inclined path. There is a public interest in its preservation and use for scientific reasons, especially for reasons relating to the history of the area and settlement as well as architectural history. It is a monument according to § 2 DSchG NRW.

Heimeshof Heimeshof Schiefbahn
Alte Schmiede 3
card
The Heimeshof is a half-timbered residential stable that was built around 1700. The residential gable, an eaves side and essential parts of the stud work have been preserved from the oldest existing building. The stable gable was apparently later changed by warping; the second side of the eaves was for the most part massively renewed in the 19th century. Even if the chimney block was only recently lost, the house is still an important testimony to the Lower Rhine architecture. This is an old type of farm with a Lower Rhine character. There are special monument preservation reasons because the Heimeshof is particularly formative for the local historical development in the rural area of ​​the Lower Rhine from the beginning of the 18th century. According to § 2 (1) DSchG NRW, preservation and use are in the public interest for scientific and ethnological reasons. 1700, 19th century May 20, 1983 5

map
The Anrath Jewish cemetery, where the Neersen Jews were buried, is located in the Zisdonk not far from the old Mönchengladbach ‒ Krefeld road. This cemetery existed before 1800. A total of 9 tombstones are still preserved, which are up to 1.74 m high and their outlines are reminiscent of the traditional shape of the 10 tablets given to Moses on Mount Sinai. The names of the deceased with dates of birth and death between 1810 and 1906 are entered. The grave inscriptions are written in Hebrew, which was only replaced or supplemented by German-language inscriptions in this century. The stones are described in detail in the appendix. The protection of the complex is in the public interest for reasons of urban development, cultural history and folklore. 1800/1843 0Oct 3, 1988 71

All the building parts mentioned are made of red and yellow field fire bricks, with the red as the basic color and the yellow as decorative elements. Openings for windows, doors and gates have round, segment and basket arches and are partly combined in pairs and overlaid with a third segment. Furthermore, they have continued historicizing decorative forms in the area of ​​the facades and eaves cornices, including partly horizontal friezes, pilaster strips in the surfaces and at the corners as verges, 2-step gable turrets with arched blind openings and exhibited stylized cornices. The facility is an important testimony to the history of the Schiefbahn district as well as to the working, production and living conditions in a branch of industry that is important and typical for the left Lower Rhine. The design of the complex suggests that it should be protected for scientific, architectural, historical and artistic reasons.

Mill stump Mill stump Willich
An Liffersmühle 15
Map
The Liffersmühle is first mentioned in 1518 as a windmill from the Electorate of Cologne. It was rebuilt as a box mill in 1577 at a cost of 1162 Talers, 5 Albus and 3 Hellern.

In 1840 it was replaced by a stone mill tower with three fruit aisles. In 1879 this mill was bought into the possession of the yeast trader Liffers, whose name it has been given to date. In 1898 wind power was replaced by the installation of a steam engine. When the mill rim was badly damaged by lightning in 1918, the remaining wind blades were dismantled and the mill tower was removed or covered up to its present height. Until the final abandonment of the grinding operation in 1923, a diesel engine that had meanwhile been installed kept the mill running. The mill torso located on the property described above consists of a structurally still intact stump of a column with the following dimensions: outer diameter 10.00 m, inner diameter 7.00 m, height approx. 5.00 m. The wall thickness is 1.50 m at the base and consists of field fire brick masonry with lime-cement mortar. The hand-molded bricks used show the relatively rare dimensions of 7:14:28 cm. The ownership of this mill was quite diverse, with ownership by an owner or leaseholder up to a quarter division. The outbuildings now converted into residential buildings date from the second half of the 19th century and are stylistically based on the industrial architecture of that time. For historical and local historical reasons, this mill torso must be placed under protection.

The former mill of Mr. Johannes Engels, therefore also popularly called "Angel Mill", was built towards the end of the 19th century in the style of industrial architecture.

The relevant street facade of the eaves-facing, three-storey building on Anrather Str. Consists of field fire bricks with vertical irons, a four-part console cornice and a four-part transverse strip above the ground floor ceiling. The façade is twelve-axis and still has some of the steel windows customary at the time with square sparrows and some blind openings, with all openings being covered in segmental arches. This also applies to the door opening above the loading ramp or the gate passage in axis 10. Since the external design in aesthetic and technical-functional terms with its style applications is largely preserved in its original state as an example of an industrial architecture that was common in the past but has now disappeared Protection of this facade is necessary for reasons of folklore, urban development and industrial history.

This four-part building complex was completed in 1897 and consists of:

a.) Society house in corner concept, two-storey, tiled hipped roof, side Albert-Oetker-Straße with 4 axes, corner area with one axis, on the top floor with gable and roof, side Arnold-Leenen-Straße 5 axes, area of ​​the central axis slightly drawn forward, also with gable or roof in the attic. b.) Single storey intermediate building, light pitched roof, 2 axles. c.) Hall building, high-storey, 6 axes, light saddle roof, inside with three-sided row of wooden supports except for the roof structure, built-in stage, floors in old floorboards and old tiles. d.) kl. One-storey extension, light saddle roof, 1 axis. All of the buildings belonging to the overall complex have segmented arched windows, concise corner and central bars, which extend to the exhibited and stylized round arched cornice. The facade consists of red and yellow field fire bricks, with the red as the basic color and the yellow as decorative elements. In the middle of the facade, at the level of the ground floor ceiling, horizontal and cantilevered ceiling strips are superimposed in three layers, which, in conjunction with the cornice or with light colored bands of color, create a visual loosening and subdivision of the facade. The society house was popularly only called "Die Eck" and for many years and decades it was the social center not only of the workers and employees of the Deuss and Oetker company, but also of the rest of the village. Albert Oetker, as the initiator and builder, wanted to create a meeting place and a cultural center that would benefit everyone by creating this facility. From 1914 onwards, all company parties of the successor company, Verseidag, were celebrated there. Since this building complex has to be seen in the urban context with the Verseidag weaving mill and the Verseidag settlement, preservation or entry in the list of monuments of the city of Willich is necessary for reasons of folklore, urban planning and settlement history.

The St. Joseph Arch is a historical component of Bahnstrasse and contributes to the characterization of the townscape. In addition, it keeps alive the memory of former public buildings, whose historical significance is great. Preservation makes sense, especially since it represents a design element in the planned footpath connection. The St. Joseph Arch is characteristic of the local history of the town of Willich, here the district of Alt-Willich. It is the former entrance area of ​​a former public building behind it, which has recently been demolished.

The building has 7 axes, with the fifth opening on the ground floor (from the left) being designed as a front door. The facade is plastered and between the two residential floors there are two horizontal, parallel, profiled plaster strips that are offset from the facade in a darker tone. Most of the original lattice windows are still on the ground floor. On the other hand, they have been renewed on the upper floor, taking into account the original design. The lintels are straight and without any formative representation in terms of garments or bottles. The front door wall is strongly profiled with a dark color contrast. The facade itself is unadorned and has a slightly tinted synthetic resin paint. Inside the house, the following distinctive fixtures should be mentioned: Front door with stoneware tiles in three-colored convoluted laying. In the area of ​​the ceilings (in the middle) strongly pronounced stucco ornamentation with rosette and historicizing representation. Wall and ceiling connections strongly profiled. Kitchen with white-blue wall tiling, including upper end strips. On the upper floor there is still a 2-leaf asymmetrical Art Nouveau door with glazing. Otherwise there are still some old wooden door frames. The roof structure is lying flat and has a new tile covering. Semi-basement with cross-mounted heavy barrel vault. The furnishings of the pharmacy can be assigned to the Art Nouveau style in terms of appearance and craftsmanship and existed as early as the end of the 19th century.

This property is a villa in the Wilhelminian style from 1913, with an eaves shape and a well-accented plastered facade. The building is two-storey with 3 axes and has a developed mansard attic with brick and slate roofing.

What is striking on the 1st floor is the rounding of the street-side outer wall in the area of ​​the 2nd axis with a four-part window arrangement; In addition, the paired beam consoles in the cornice area are dominant. With the two pilasters at the entrance to the house, the slightly suggested cornice and the four vertical, cartridge-like plastered fields between the individual axes, the facade is a good example of the plastering technique preferred at the end of the 19th and 20th centuries. Inside the house there are mainly some heavy apartment doors with wide panels with profiled cladding, the patterned tiled floor in the stairwell area on the ground floor, the wooden staircase in a closed construction with elaborate wooden railings and some stucco representations in the ceiling lamp area. The building has a wing extension in the left rear area as well as a former stable building, which are included as an ensemble. The conception of this property in the area of ​​the old Willich city center is a good example of the architectural style used at the turn of the century. For reasons of location and architectural history, protection is necessary.

map
The building is the so-called Villa Langels, which was built in 1892 in the neo-renaissance style. It presents itself as a building ensemble, consisting of several interlocking and integrating structures, which in turn are very differentiated in their storeys.

The main house is two-story with 4: 2 axes. Adjacent to this is a single-storey, gable-independent building with a loft. The square tower shaft with one axis, six floors and an additional roof platform is eye-catching. A small component covered by a transverse roof in the area of ​​the main entrance completes the building ensemble. With the exception of the tower, the individual structures have a tile-covered gable roof with pronounced verges. The windows are partly arched, partly covered in segments. The facade itself is strongly structured and has upholstery ashlar on the ground floor. This impression is reinforced on the main facade by the square strips and the pronounced console cornice on the eaves and gables. It is also conspicuous through a surface-dividing double transverse band with stucco ornamentation on both sides and a gable-like central projection. The window arches of the main house have wedge-shaped stones in the area of ​​the apexes on the ground floor, while the openings on the upper floor are partially covered with triangular gables. Inside the house, the storey stairs, the stucco ceiling ornamentation, the tiled floor, the roof truss as well as most of the interior doors and especially the main entrance door are worth mentioning. This also applies to the existing fountain on the side. The architecture used here clearly reflects the importance of the opinion of the first owner at the time, a privatizing farmer. The erection of the tower shaft, however, was made primarily for hobby reasons, namely for astronomical purposes. The preservation and use of the v. G. The object is of public interest for architectural and local historical reasons. Thus, the object described is in connection with the small park, including the trees that are still standing and the fountain according to § 3 DSchG NRW to be included in the list of monuments of the city of Willich.

map
The newly built Jewish cemetery on Bertzweg in Schiefbahn was used from 1913 as a replacement for the cemetery that was closed in Knickelsdorf. This cemetery was also desecrated several times during the Nazi era. After the war, this cemetery was restored to a worthy condition and the few remaining tombstones were put up again. The grave sites are divided into a total of 3 groups: The first grave field contains the gravestones of 26 Schiefbahn Jews, another grave field includes 16 gravestones of Jewish residents of Gustorf-Gindorf. These grave sites on the last two fields were relocated to Schiefbahn in 1957 from the two communities that had to give way to brown coal. The description of the individual tombstones can be found in the appendix. The protection of the complex is in the public interest for urban, cultural and historical reasons. 1913 Dec 14, 1988 72

card
The farm complex consists of the stable part of a residential stable house, to which a T-shaped two-storey residential building in the Swiss style was added in 1906. A half-timbered stable, which has been changed in the roof area, a gatehouse and two barns complete the originally four-sided enclosed courtyard. The two-storey house in particular has a design that corresponds to a villa in the Swiss country house style. The facade design is based on the combination of plastered surfaces and brick surfaces. On the north-west side there is a roofed exit on the ground floor, which also forms a balcony for the first floor. The north-west side, which is divided by 3 window axes, is particularly beautifully shaped. The middle axis (entirely in glazed brick with decorative elements) is drawn forward like a bay window. It jumps back on the 2nd floor and forms an exit that is covered by its own gable. The outer wall is designed here as a visible framework.

The interior of the house is remarkable. Almost all rooms have Art Nouveau stucco ceilings. The doors, the partly existing wall paneling, the windows and the stairwell (all also Art Nouveau) have been preserved. The front door and window also have these style elements. The entry of the facility in the list of monuments is absolutely necessary for reasons of local history and settlement history.

Building No. 9 Becker steelworks Building No. 9 Becker steelworks Willich
Casino-Strasse / Anrather Strasse 21
map
The building no. 9 in the former Becker steelworks comes from the so-called expansion stage 1916/19, according to the Dauber report of September 28, 1990, the first phase of the development of the steelworks from 1910 until the end of the First World War. Its original purpose is not evident from the archive documents and reports available. In view of some changes in the floor plan, it cannot be accessed with the necessary certainty from the existing building. It was probably used as a casino / canteen building by the British armed forces; such a use would also be conceivable within the steelworks. The exterior of the one and a half-story plastered building on a rectangular floor plan with a large hipped roof is stylistically matched to the neighboring main administration building, but implements its elaborate detail design in simpler forms. A color-contrasting circumferential pilaster strip divides the wall surfaces into regular fields, which accommodate the tall rectangular windows divided by bars. A total of three entrances are indicated by small slate-covered porches: on the front end and towards the factory premises, they lead to the main floor, accessible via staircases, and on the long side facing the administration building, at ground level, to the expanded basement. Inside, the floor plan of which, as evidenced by recent building studies, has been partially changed compared to the original state, the tiled floors of the original period preserved on both floors and the unusually elaborate wall design with pilasters in the entrance area of ​​the basement floor are to be emphasized.

As an integral part of the former Becker steelworks, the above building is important for Willich and the development of work and production conditions. Its substantially good and clear preservation defines the testimony value for industrial construction of the 1910s. There is a public interest in further preservation and use for scientific, in particular architectural, local and economic reasons. According to § 2 (1) DSchG NRW it is therefore a monument.

The Quirinus Chapel was built in 1610. It consists of half-timbering with brick infill on a square floor plan. It has a protruding gable roof. There is an inscription in the wooden ceiling above the door.

Preservation and use of the Quirinus Chapel are in the public interest for scientific and ethnological reasons. His old pilgrimage route used to lead past this chapel, where until the turn of the century in September each year pilgrims from Neersen came to Süchteln pilgrimages, where Quirinus, one of the 4 marshals, was also venerated in the chapel of the Heiligenberg. This pilgrimage has been documented for over 300 years and, according to tradition, was caused by a cattle disease. 400 pilgrims were still counted in 1820. In the inscription of the chapel, St. Quirinus called, the patron saint against horse diseases, and especially venerated in Neuss.

Darderhöfe 1
card
The Stautenhof, in the Kraphausen district, was first mentioned in 1631 under its tenant Ebber Stauten (born in 1600) and has belonged to the Neuss dean's office since ancient times. In the middle of the 19th century, the Stautenhof experienced an enlargement of its lands through the inclusion of real estate from the lands of the Kraphauserhof, which was then lost. The last bearer of the name was Jacobus Stauten, who died in 1794. As the Tranchot card 1820 shows, the property at that time consisted of several independent structures. It was not until 1876 that it was combined into its current three-wing shape. The house built from field fire bricks is two-storey with 8: 3 axes and a tile-covered gable roof as well as slightly segmented window coverings. Window sills and door frames are made of sandstone. Except for a light plaster cornice, the facade itself is completely unadorned and without any decorative elements. The barns and stables, rebuilt in 1843 and 1858, are also made of field fire brick masonry and have gable roofs covered with tiled roofs. Inside the courtyard, the facade parts are unadorned.

The outside street facade of the gatehouse, on the other hand, has a concise exposed brick cornice and wide corner and center strips. The gatehouse with its two wings is divided strictly symmetrically with 5 axes, the middle axis being designed as a gateway. The passage has a basket arch with a gate wedge and inlaid dating 1876. Its overall width is provided with a raised and flared ornamental cornice and built over with flat gables, flanked on both sides by small square doors with plate covers. All roof trusses as well as the still existing studs are still in their original condition. During its visit on February 21, 1991, the working group for the tasks according to the DSchG unanimously recommended that the Stautenhof be entered in the list of monuments of the city of Willich, since for reasons of local history, the preservation and use of the courtyard is in the interests of the settlement and the public .

The Dickerhof, whose origins go back to the beginning of the 15th century, was initially a record product in the Hardter Honschaft and was considerably emphasized or upgraded by this designation in terms of value and reputation compared to the other surrounding courts. Until 1498 it was a fiefdom of the Cologne cathedral provost , but was later sold to the St. Nikolaus monastery near Dyck. The name is probably due to the location of the farm, which was on a Landwehr dam, so a so-called Dick and due to its meaning it was also eponymous for the Dickerheide. In the map of Tranchot / Müffling 1805–1806, this courtyard is still registered as a Streuhof, whereby the floor plan made a very defensive impression, although one cannot speak of a fortified courtyard in the classical sense.

Due to expansive measures and requirements with regard to agriculture, the courtyard was greatly enlarged in the 19th century and is now a three-wing farm building, which closes with its inner legs around the residential wing. This design deviated from the otherwise common rural design and represents a deliberate and clearly visible separation between farm building and residential building (emphasis on the manor house). This residential and manor house was initially single-storey with a partially expanded attic. Later the south-facing half of the house was increased to two storeys. The two gables were added. The resulting two different roof pitches continued to exist as tile-covered gable roofs. The current house is gable-free with 5: 4: 3 axes with slightly segmented openings. The second half of the house (1½-storey construction) still serves as a coach house today. It is worth mentioning the entrance gate with segmental arch cover and roofing decorated with pigeon holes. The barn and farm buildings, like the house, are made of field-fired brick masonry, have tile-covered gable roofs, some with original carpentry-style roof trusses, and the facades on all structures are completely unadorned, except for smaller, structured brick cornices. Inside the house, mainly on the ground floor, there are excellent stoneware tiles on the floors and walls as well as pronounced corner profiles on the wall and ceiling connections, well-presented ceiling stucco ornamentation, ornamented support brackets, Art Nouveau doors with stained glass, closed wooden stairs with carvings on the entry posts, well-profiled fillets and handrails, built-in gun cabinet, still well-designed art nouveau stove chimneys. Part of the entire ensemble are the main access road to the north as a tree-lined avenue and the fruit bongert, as well as the park-like green area to the south, with a pond that has now fallen dry. In summary, it must be said that some barns and stables do not quite correspond to the monument concept. However, this system must be viewed as a whole, namely all buildings with the access road, the Bogert and the pond-decorated green area. In view of these aspects, it is essential to place it under protection for reasons of local history and settlement history.

The building and garden are a typical example of the building and garden architecture of the turn of the century and thus represent a cultural-historical as well as a landscape-defining element in the outer area of ​​the town of Willich. The interior of the house is remarkable, almost all rooms have stucco ceilings from this time. The windows and doors are also preserved.

Sitterhof Sitterhof Anrath
Fadheiderstraße 129
map
The origins of the Sitterhof date back to 1570 with 45 acres of arable land at the time, and at that time it was in an exposed location at the gates of the municipality of Anrath. The farm itself remained in the family for a relatively long time, until the end of the 18th century.

At the beginning of the 19th century the courtyard consisted of 3 main buildings, which is also ensured by the mapping by Tranchot / Müffling from 1805/1806. It was not until the middle to the end of the 19th century that the courtyard was rebuilt to its current four-wing shape. Worth mentioning are the two-storey building with 5 axes as well as the stables and barns on the side with a single-storey gatehouse and central gable, all in field-fire brick masonry and tile-roofed gable roofs, with the barn or stables on the street side showing a stepped gable. Otherwise, the facades are relatively unadorned, with the exception of structured cornices and transverse changes to the main house. The window sills, abutment brackets and gate wedges are made of stone. The window and door openings are covered in segments. Inside the house, mainly on the ground floor, there are still some stucco ceilings with pronounced corner formations, support brackets and central rosettes, as well as the closed wooden staircase leading to the upper floor with a professionally good design of the entry post, the cross bars and the handrail. In addition, both front doors (inner courtyard and street side) are in the old condition. There are also some original panel doors on the ground floor. For this reason, this courtyard is to be placed under protection for reasons of local knowledge and the history of the settlement, while at the same time including the nine tree-lined trees on the east side, which must be considered listed.

The construction of the water tower began in 1928. This water tower previously served as a water reserve and as a pressure generator for the area it served. He still has a container for around 400 cubic meters of drinking water. It is no longer used for water management purposes today. The diameter of the tower is 8.75 m, the height above the surface is 41 m, with the balustrade 42 m. In the ground floor area and in the basement there are still pipe systems and pumps that do not date from the time it was built, but are also of an older date (approx. 1951). The Fellerhöfe water tower is an architectural testimony to the introduction of the public water supply. In terms of technical history, it is interesting and landscaping. Preservation and use of the water tower are in the public interest for architectural and city-historical reasons. 1928 0Dec. 4, 1987 59

The property at Fellerhöfe 9 is a closed, four-wing courtyard complex with a field fire brick facade and tile-covered gable roofs. It is still in good condition today.

The courtyard is laid out exactly axially in north-south direction and is partially surrounded by old deciduous trees. The house is eaves side with 5 axles each on the front and rear. The field-fired brick façades have no special decorative elements apart from a small stilted cornice with gable consoles and a central transverse band. Door and window openings have segmental arch covers and natural stone benches. All the existing roof trusses are still in their original condition, they are partly as a horizontal construction, partly as this courtyard, dating back to its origins in the 18th century and with extensions and redesigns in the 19th century, due to its location, architecture and structural designs or The structural condition in connection with the six large deciduous trees on the entrance side represent an ensemble worth preserving and protecting. § 2 DSchG NRW are available and the relationship with the Rhenish Office for Monument Preservation is established.

Chapel with morgue Chapel with morgue Willich
Friedhofstrasse
map
A chapel with a morgue and free-standing bell tower was built on the eastern side of the Willich cemetery in 1959-61. The architect of the facility, which was commissioned by the municipality of Willich, was Peter Kuhlen from Meerbusch

The chapel, morgue and ancillary rooms are located in three wings of different lengths and heights around a small courtyard, in the middle of which - originally intended as the destination of an entrance avenue - the slender bell tower rises. The buildings are built in reinforced concrete with partial brick cladding and have flat, clay pan-covered gable roofs. The chapel on the left as seen from the entrance is about twice as high as the adjoining morgue. Its front is completely open in glass and provided with a wrought iron ornamental grille made of cross motifs with small rosettes in the middle (artist: Peter Hink, Büderich). The white painted framing of the facade reflects the visible truss construction that continues on the inside, the sequence of which essentially determines the spatial impression. The interior is kept simple and cautious and aligned with a cross placed on the wall in the closed end wall of the choir. Two transept arms complement the deep rectangular floor plan to form a cross. The choir is illuminated from the two long sides through wall-high narrow window panels. Wall and chandeliers with candle lamps are probably still part of the original inventory. The floor is covered with slabs of Sauerland slate. The morgue adjoining the transverse arm of the chapel on the right has a front colonnade of slender, tapered shell limestone round pillars; the rear wall of the colonnade is lightly plastered, with window-door-like openings for the five storage chambers, between which original wall lights sit; the floor of the colonnade is covered with natural stone slabs. The chambers, which are closed with double-leaf doors, and other rooms for the stay of relatives, staff, etc., are accessed at the rear through a hallway with a dissecting room on the front wall. The short side wing on the right parallel to the chapel contains v. a. a common room for the pastor. The rear access corridor also still has original, here round wall lights, in the openings on the cemetery side there are now mostly glass blocks instead of the original double doors. In the middle of the forecourt, the free-standing bell tower towers over the complex; its slender, openwork shaft is tapered towards the top and ends above a ledge with an open bell storey and a flat tent roof with a cross top.It is a high-quality, well-proportioned architecture, functionally clearly structured, which shows traditional elements in its large form (Ehrenhof, Colonnade, pitched roofs), but the details of the execution are extremely typical for their time of origin, with formative, artistically designed elements (decorative grille, bell tower). Also noteworthy are the numerous, differently designed light bodies, which make a decisive contribution to the characteristic appearance of the system. The spatial program including the dissecting room necessary for such a system in larger urban cemeteries is fully developed in it, albeit implemented in small-scale room layouts typical of the time. This amalgamation of traditional and modern forms led contemporaries to speak of a “timeless”, “rock solid” and “composed with measure” architect who had “line and style”: “When the community of Willich built its war memorial in the 1930s, there In its stubborn massiveness and size, that was a peculiarity from the tendency towards the heroic-monumental at the time. That of the house of the dead consists in the fact that it can exist before today as well as the day after tomorrow in a different sense - without dragging its builder towards conventional daring. ”A similarly high quality and at the same time well-preserved testimony to the architecture of According to the current state of knowledge, 1950s like this small architecture will hardly be found in Willich. For this reason and because of its central function as a chapel and morgue in the municipal cemetery, the property is important for Willich. It is also an essential part of the historically and creatively significant cemetery Willich ensemble, in which the actual cemetery, the old cemetery chapel, the memorial and finally this new chapel with morgue very vividly represent various stages and forms of cemetery culture of the 20th century. There is therefore a public interest in the preservation and use of the new chapel and morgue for the scientific reasons described, in particular architectural and cultural-historical reasons. According to § 2 DSchG NRW it is a monument.

map
The Gaspelshof is a multi-winged brick property grouped around 2 courtyards. The core dates from 1856, the extensions and alterations from 1899. This can be seen from the dates on the gate wedge stones. Overall, the Gaspelshof is one of the characteristic and well-preserved brick courtyards that have shaped the landscape on the Lower Rhine since the 19th century. The external appearance of the courtyard is therefore worth preserving. The tree planting is inseparable from the Gaspelshof. These include the access avenue with trees running from the Kiefernstrasse to the homestead and the so-called Bongert at the rear. A small, tall wood belongs to this bongert.

Preservation and use of the Gaspelshof are in the public interest, as it is important for the city of Willich and there are ethnological reasons for its preservation and use.

Factory hall No. 31 Becker steelworks Factory hall No. 31 Becker steelworks Willich
Gießerallee 9
map
I. Description:

The three-part system is a building from the group of "barrel-covered halls or those with multiple broken roof profiles" described in an expert report from 1984. The roughly north-south oriented brick building with massive, load-bearing enclosing walls presents itself as a long rectangular main building with an outline broken several times on the gable sides, to which a shorter, gable-roof-covered hall building is attached to the east. Both halls face the central Werkstrasse with the decorative shapes in brick-plaster alternation with vertical ribbing that are characteristic of the entire building. In the west, a two-axis extension with a pent roof is added to the rear, northern area of ​​the main hall. This has five brick fields framed with pilaster strips on the west side, each with two coupled access floor windows. An eaves cornice with a serrated frieze completes the extension at the top. This structure takes up the shape of the western front of the main building, to which, however, wall pillars have been added for support and load bearing. Crowned corner pillars mark the ends of both parallel halls facing Werkstrasse. The northern end of the main hall also shows an alternation of plaster and brick, with an ox-eye sitting in a larger plastered area. Inside the main hall, riveted lattice supports underpin the two continuous main girders in space framework, to which a newer crane runway construction with a crane is attached over the middle of the hall. Triangular trusses support the roof cladding, which is exposed in the middle and side areas. Original arched windows can be seen in the massive east wall, as can also be found on the east side of the saddle-roofed parallel hall. In addition to the windows of the original stock, which are now closed by glass blocks, there are new window and gate openings on all sides that are only slightly subordinate to the existing structure. Two windows in the south gable of the main hall illuminate an office space that was added later.

II evaluation:

The main hall, saddle roof hall and western extension with pent roof as well as the column, girder and truss construction are a monument within the meaning of § 2 (1) DSchG NRW. In connection with the other protected facilities of the former Becker steelworks, the building is important for the cities and settlements as well as for the development of working and production conditions. There are artistic, scientific and urban planning reasons for preservation and use. Like the already protected buildings, the hall complex 31 represents the first construction stage of the economically, technically and socio-historically important company Becker and complements the vividness of a "green field" developed location for heavy industry, which had significant effects for Willich.

map
This building is a four-wing courtyard with dates from the years 1763 and 1780, which can be seen from representations in anchor pins and lintels.

The residential building was later heavily built through and completely modernized, but viewed as a whole it can still be understood as an integrated part of the heritage-worthy courtyard. Particular mention should be made of the barn, the stables and the gatehouse, the outer walls of which are made up of well-structured half-timbering and field fire bricks. The roof trusses are still in their original condition, some with heavily oversized wooden parts, the roof area is still partly covered with hollow tiles. The gate inlays and the wicket door in the gatehouse are also still original. Around the courtyard are the remains of a former courtyard-encompassing moat, which is lined with old deciduous trees. A protected status is required for settlement and building history aspects.

St. Konrad Chapel

St. Konrad Chapel Neersen
Grenzweg 76
map
It is a single-storey brick building with white grouted outer walls, on a rectangular floor plan and covered by a gable roof with a small turret. The building is not exactly geosted, but rather facing south-east along the straight new Niers. The roof is hipped over the choir, which is just closing. In 1955/56, a “meeting room” with an entrance was added to the west in the same direction, which is subordinate to the actual chapel with a flatter roof pitch and adapted design language (an original, smaller entrance porch had to give way). The chapel and assembly room are lit all around by arched or round windows; only the end of the choir is designed as a completely closed wall. Three closely placed and colorfully glazed arched windows as well as a small round window in the gable triangle above accentuate the gable wall of the chapel. In the free gable of the extension there are two round windows that have a cross in their center. The small ridge above the chapel carries a bell. The segmental arched entrance with a two-leaf wooden door is located on the long side of the extension facing the Grenzweg, directly at an angle with the chapel, which can only be reached via a small anteroom. The single-nave community room has an almost square base. The retracted choir opens opposite him with a basket arch; To the left and right of the choir, small annex rooms complete the building cube. The ceiling design is unusual, the middle part of which is stepped upwards from the plastered side edges and designed as a visible beamed ceiling. Underneath, three anchor beams with sayings span the entire width of the room ("Praise the Lord, forests, corridor field" / "Praise the Lord, sun weather wind" / "In the cross is salvation life resurrection"; design: Hans Tack). Like these, the three-part group of colored windows in the west wall, the artistically most important piece of furniture based on a design by Peter Hecker, belongs to the original furnishings: “Around the beardless young Christ in the middle window, a couple of settlers gather on the right and left. Christ stands in the middle of the Nies landscape. Houses and fields, people and animals blessing ”(parish chronicle, p. 14). The pre-war furnishings, which were kept relatively simple according to the circumstances of the time and the character of the chapel, also include a painting by St. Konrad von Ferdinand Schule from Stuhlingen (oil on wood, 1937) and 14 Stations of the Cross (1940, Kikartz, Wittlar).

On consoles on the long walls, a figure of St. Conrad and a Fatima Madonna from the 1950s visually frame the triumphal arch of the choir. The choir was redesigned in accordance with the Second Vatican Council in the 1960s with the altar removed from the wall. As the ecclesiastical center of the settlement on Grenzweg (“Nierssiedlung”), the Konrad Chapel is important for Willich. Unlike the settlement as a whole and the individual houses, it still has the simple design language of the original era, a traditionalism characterized by handcraft. This is to a large extent characteristic of building in the 1930s and in particular of the typified buildings in the settlements of that time. For the mentioned scientific reasons, here architectural or local history, there is a public interest in the preservation and use of the chapel. According to § 2 (1) DSchG NRW it is therefore a monument.

The buildings of the courtyard are from the 18th and 19th centuries. Large two-storey main house built in brick, dated to "1783" by wall anchors. However, the masonry contains a number of bricks with inscriptions dated “1714” + “1717”. Half-timbered gable, however, could be a 19th century change. The interior of the house has largely been preserved, especially a number of old "Cologne ceilings" still exist. The other ancillary buildings of the courtyard are all of a more recent date, but they are part of the overall appearance. The historical importance of the customs house as well as the structural shape caused by it, the architectural quality of which clearly stands out from that of the farmhouse at the same time, show that the maintenance of the facility is in the public interest according to § 2 (1) DSchG NRW lies. 18./19.

Velvet factory Velvet factory Neersen
Hauptstrasse 13 u. 13a
card
The property consists of various structures that were more or less structurally coherent in the last quarter of the 19th century by the Krefeld manufacturer Gustav Klemme for a velvet factory. The factory complex itself is strongly structured in its inventory and has different heights and numbers of floors. The same applies to the roof shape and the facade design. The latter can be described as a typical representation of the industrial architecture emerging at the time. During the construction of this factory, it was possible to combine technical and engineering requirements and architectural urban design. Consistent use of field fire bricks in the form of rhythmic pilaster strips and friezes. Window coverings in round, segmental and straight shapes are the key elements of this construction method and make them significant for a historically determinable point in the development of the working and production conditions in Neersen.

Although parts of the facility have been removed in the meantime, careful restoration could make an architecture visible again, which, with full consideration and possibly subordination to technical purposes or different ideas, can restore scale and harmony. In view of the reorganization, the possible shutdown and the associated reconstruction or demolition of such a plant, the Kress plant is gaining importance as one of the last documents for such former production sites despite its simplicity and relatively simple construction and can be used today as an example of a previously common one, today but disappeared industrial architecture in its largely preserved original state. In addition, it should be noted that this factory complex described in its entirety, as well as the Neersen Castle opposite and the main road through the town, must be seen as a unit. This is why this building complex is worth preserving for reasons of local and industrial history.

This property is a two-story, eaves-standing town house. The building is divided into six axes and has a tile-covered gable roof.

The facade is made of red field fire bricks. The color contrast with yellow bricks can only be found in decorative elements. These include the segmental arches above the windows and through openings, as well as the three-part stilted tooth cornice. In the middle of the house, in the area of ​​the window parapet of the upper floor, runs a horizontal, four-part cross band, which is also visually highlighted by a row of yellow clay tiles. Inside the house, parts of the framework and stud work are still preserved. It is worth mentioning the originality with which the carpentry work on the roof structure was carried out. The floor tiles in the main entrance area on the ground floor are still well preserved. It should be noted that the house itself has a certain down-to-earth appearance. It is also one of the few houses where you can see the former line of alignment of the main street in Neersen. In terms of local history, it can be said that the house at Hauptstr. 28 was named as early as 1700 under its builder Ibertz. In 1747 Triengen Drießen took over the house. It then changed hands several times until it was finally converted into a restaurant with its own brewery (Alt-Gather) in 1878. It turns out that the building at Hauptstr. 28 is important for reasons of local history and the history of the settlement and thus a public interest in its preservation and use is justified.

map
The property is a gable-independent, single-storey residential building with a loft and a tiled gable roof. The house has 4 axes on the street side gable, whereby the first axis on the ground floor was widened in the 1960s. The free-standing long side, on the other hand, has 2 axes. The openings are slightly covered in segmental arches, the cornice is exhibited in four parts.

The visible surface of the facade consists of field fire brick masonry. The base is plastered approx. 65 cm high. Originally this building was a pure half-timbered house and its origins go back to 1621. Around 1800 it was widened with massive field fire brick masonry. The double-sided jam frame is still visible today. At the same time the roof structure was renewed, whereby in contrast to the old oak frame work this one was made of spruce and fir wood. The ceiling beams and some support posts are still partially visible. Likewise the wrought-iron tie rods on the outer fronts. Inside the house, the staircase leading to the first floor is worth mentioning. It consists of a wooden, closed construction with turned filler bars and a pronounced entry post. The partial basement consists of a heavy classic barrel vault. The single-storey extension with a tiled monopitch roof and field fire brick masonry is much more recent. The establishment should be sought towards the end of the 19th century. From the above description it follows that there is a public interest in the preservation and use of the building for reasons of local history and the history of the settlement. The house therefore fulfills the requirements of § 2 DSchG NRW and therefore had to be entered in the list of monuments of the city of Willich.

Plastered residential house built in 1911 on the eaves, with two floors and 4 axes. The axis next to the entrance is widened on the ground floor, has a bay window on the first floor and is gabled. Inside, the room concept, the staircase and the doors with walls have been preserved. The ballustrated terrace and the partition wall at the back of the orchard also bear testimony to the importance attached to the social position at the time.

In terms of local history, this building now clearly shows how the transition to a bourgeois level was gradually carried out in the purely small-scale weaver's and farmers' settlement on the Niers. The importance of this house for the Neersen district and for human history can therefore be seen. There are therefore ethnological and urban planning reasons that call for the building to be maintained and used in the public interest. The prerequisites of § 2 DSchG NRW are thus met and the status of a monument is to be affirmed.

In terms of appearance, it is a two-storey, eaves-facing town house, as it was typical for the Lower Rhine during the 18th century. Neersen in particular has preserved a number of these brick-built or at least brick-faced houses, which thus contribute significantly to the character of the town's streets. For urban planning reasons, maintaining the building is in the public interest.

The building was built in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. It is two-story in non-solid axes. It has partly wooden walls, anchor pins on the street front and is provided with a hipped roof. The windows and the masonry are partially changed on the ground floor.

In terms of appearance, it is a two-story, eaves-standing town house, as it was typical for the Lower Rhine during the 18th century. Neersen in particular has preserved a number of these brick-built or at least brick-faced houses, which thus contribute significantly to the character of the town's streets. For urban planning reasons, maintaining the building is in the public interest.

This former 3-wing brick complex was built in the 2nd half of the 19th century. The house is 2-storey in 5 axes. This town house, which was expensive at the time, was built by a cattle dealer with the associated outbuildings. Inside the building, all of the historical furnishings such as the old stairs, all doors and the roof structure have been preserved. The inside of the building itself has remained unchanged.

Preservation and use are in the public interest for urban planning reasons.

The main street of the Neersen district is largely still characterized by a two-storey building on the eaves - all with brick facades, but in a half-timbered construction - which dates back to the end of the 18th and the beginning of the 19th century.

One of the characteristic and best preserved of these houses is the building Hauptstrasse. 81. The windows in the front, arranged in 8 axes, still have the appearance of the small-scale lattice windows that were very important from the time of their creation. On the free-standing half-timbered gable side, a rear extension can be seen, but there are still original remains inside: some simple “Cologne ceilings” and a few doors. The rear courtyard was partially built over with a hall accessible from the upper floor of the house in 1921. Its neo-baroque design language still follows models of historicism and is therefore a very late example of this type of decoration. In connection with the local history and the buildings typical for it, the hall is nevertheless remarkable.

The courtyard, built in 1898, is the farmyard of Haus Broich. With its external dimensions of approx. 60 × 80 m, it is the largest square system in the Viersen district. In their courtyard there is a free-standing, elaborately built small stable building, the so-called "pig house". The large stable and barn wings are almost unchanged. In a barn wing there is a baroque staircase, which probably comes from the old Broich house. The stables show cap ceilings. The roof trusses have been preserved from the time it was built. The complex does not have a specially designed residential building. In the eastern part of the quarter, however, there are administrators 'and workers' apartments. This section has been modernized, but its substance has been largely preserved. The separately standing field barn is a four-aisled, tile-roofed stud frame construction that is open on all sides and can be considered a successful example of old carpentry, especially because the craftsmanship on the one hand and the type and quality of the material on the other hand can be recognized very well.

The complex shapes the cultural landscape, also because of its historical connection with Haus Broich, and must be protected as a monument for reasons of local and settlement history, in terms of use and preservation (excluding the newly built riding arenas).

The origins of the building go back to the 13th century. It was completely overhauled at the end of the 19th century and rebuilt like a castle. This is a formerly water-protected complex with a gatehouse and manor house. The former manor house is 3-storey with a high basement and a covered entrance. It is 5-axis with a central gable and hipped roof. On the side there is a 4-storey round corner tower with a hooded roof and on the other left side, set back, there is also a 4-storey tower on a square floor plan. Here the roof has been removed. The building is plastered from the outside and has plaster walls. Inside the building there is a representative staircase in good condition from the ground floor to the first floor. Simple stucco ceilings with ornaments have also been preserved in the rooms of the manor house. The building still has the original windows with their distinctive small structure, especially in the attic.

The archway, which has recently been restored, is part of the monument value. The inner courtyard of the palace is mainly surrounded by a well-preserved wall. The access avenue with its beautiful trees is also a listed building. Preservation and use of the building complex and the access avenue are in the public interest for urban planning, urban history and folklore reasons.

This property is a former stable house, built in the last quarter of the 18th century, in a single-storey construction, gable-free with 5 axes and a tile-covered saddle roof. Despite various renovations inside, it has been relatively well preserved in structure and shape. The old chimney block is now on the rear gable, as the building was shortened by 1/5 for some inexplicable reason in the middle of the 19th century.

The stud frame is generally still complete with all of its structural parts. Only a few fragments are left of the former Cologne ceiling in the living area. This building is important for human history because it shows the development of rural living conditions in this part of the Lower Rhine during the 18th and 19th centuries. Century makes clear. But it is also important for the settlement history of the Anrath area as well as for the development of the rural work and production conditions. Next to the former residential and stable building there is an old bakery building, a so-called "Backhausspiker". The baking system itself must have been an integral part of the open stove system of the Lower Rhine farmhouse and was relegated to a remote corner of the property mainly by fire protection regulations of the rulers around the middle of the 18th century due to the risk of fire. There are also scientific, above all architectural-historical reasons for the preservation and use, because here too the post-and-beam construction of the former residential stable is preserved.

Goose boy Goose boy Schiefbahn
Hochstrasse 62
map
For all Schiefbahners, the sculpture of the “goose boy”, which adorns the townscape on Hochstrasse opposite the old town hall, has become a common term from the time when large flocks of goose were driven into the nearby Bruch every morning in the 18th and 19th centuries The children were given the task of looking after the cattle during the day.

Like almost all villages on the Lower Rhine, the former community of Schiefbahn was poor in monuments. It was not until 1938 that the citizens were able to commission the young Lower Rhine sculptor Franz Grüters to create a memorial to the “goose boy” as an expression of the old Schiefbahn tradition. The work was cast by the Preuß & Alf company from Neuss. It consists of several cast parts, which are, however, joined together in such a way that the connection points cannot be recognized and the image is mistaken for a uniform casting. The base consists of natural stone, a small base shaft was built from Belgian, hard-burned clinker, on which the goose-boy plastic was placed. Franz Grüters, whose name is entered in the base of the bronze figure, was born in Hüls in 1908. There the master blacksmith Jakob Mellen provided him with the manual scaffolding. Equipped with this, he completed the arts and crafts school in Krefeld and then studied at the Düsseldorf art academy with Professors Zschokke and Scharff. Study trips to southern Germany, but also to the Netherlands, left lasting impressions. Grüters built up a small workshop in his home community, in which, as it is called in the home book of the Kempen-Krefeld border district from 1955, he first raised the budding figures of young people and later portraits full of character, which an urgent sharpness of his And the artistic ability of his hand. In later larger works, Grüters broke the inner circle and touched a line that aimed at greater dimensions, such as the goose boy fountain in Schiefbahn. The Second World War ended the hopeful artistic career of Franz Grüters when greater successes were just becoming apparent. He became a soldier and died on July 29, 1942 at the age of 34 in the fighting in Sevastopol in the Crimea. For reasons of local history, there is therefore a public interest in the conservation and use of the goose young, so that the requirements of § 2 DSchG NRW are met.

card
The Renneshof dates back to 1570 under its owner: Godert Rennes and remained in family ownership until the first half of the 19th century. By marriage in 1827, today's Schmitz property was created.

It is a formerly water-protected, closed, four-winged courtyard complex, which is still in good condition today, with field-fired brick facades and tile-covered gable roofs (on the house with a crooked hip roof on both sides). The courtyard is laid out exactly axially in a north-south direction and is still surrounded by moats that used to carry water but are now dry. The outer edges of the ditch are lined with rows of deciduous trees. The house has 5 axes with two elevated full storeys. The outbuildings on the right and left are 4-axis and slightly lower in their storey height. The facades of the v. b. The building tracts are made of field fire bricks and have a horizontal transverse band above the ground floor, a console cornice and Ecklisenierung, no special decorative elements. All existing door and window openings have segmental arch covers and bluestone sills. In the middle of the roof of the main house there is a small hand-forged, metal-covered bell chair with a small bell. The adjacent barns and stables are also made of field fire brick masonry. The gable roofs and arched access openings are still in their original condition. The gatehouse on the north side is 1-axis and has two abutments and a wedge made of natural stone in the area of ​​the basket arch on the outer courtyard facade. The roofing of the gatehouse is covered in the verge area with an artificial stone gable collar and has a cubic console with an attached decorative ball in the ridge point. All roof trusses are made of heavy trusses. The tie sleepers are designed as exposed cantilever arms to accommodate the roof overhang inside the courtyard and have curved beam heads. Inside the living area, the storey stairs and the floor tiles are worth mentioning, as is the access avenue lined with deciduous trees on both sides to the gatehouse and the Bongert to the east of the homestead. Due to its location, its architecture and structural design and condition in connection with moats, access avenue and the associated trees, the Renneshof represented an ensemble that was extremely worthy of preservation and protection.

This agriculturally used property is a four-wing, self-contained courtyard complex with a two-storey residential building in 5 axes. The establishment of the Hörmeshof is established for the second half of the 19th century. The roofs are designed as saddle roofs with tile roofing and have very elevated verges. The facades are made of field fire bricks and seen as a whole without decorative ornamentation. Only in the area of ​​the residential building are clearly visible verges and cornices, transverse changes in the middle of the house and corner reinforcements. Window, door and gate openings are partly segmented, partly round. What is striking is the large number of blind openings, some of which are only to be provided as decorative ornaments. The origins of the vb Hofanlage go back to the late 18th century and at that time it was already on the connecting road Anrath-St. Tönis (then St. Antonius) and Krefeld (then Crefeld), which is also due to the mapping of the French. Verm.-Ing. Tranchot became verifiable.

Furthermore, the chestnut trees, planted in rows, at the main entrance area on Schottelstrasse (Landstrasse 384) are worth mentioning. For reasons of local and architectural history, this courtyard complex, including the chestnut trees in front, must be placed under protection.

This aforementioned building is a four-winged closed courtyard in field fire brick design and with tile-covered gable roofs. The first dating comes from the year 1866 with further alterations and additions in the years 1889, 1893 and most recently around 1907. The main residential building (newer part) is two-story in 7: 2 axes and comes from the 2nd half of the 19th century and is younger than the old part of the house inside the courtyard, also two-storey, the origin of which is documented by a gate stone marked with the year 1866. The barn and stable buildings are designed in the same way as the residential building in terms of facade and roofing. Windows and doors are covered by segment arches, the large passage, position and barn doors made of natural stone material. Roof trusses are all lying down, partly covered with old hollow pans. The allotment garden area on the left west-southwest corner of the property (in front of the entrance to the main residential building), which is still in use today, can still be seen in its origins as a cottage garden.

It is established that the stipulated homestead including a cottage garden with a box tree hedge is based on local and settlement history interests.

This above-mentioned building is a four-wing agriculturally used building in field fire brick design and for the most part with tile-covered gable roofs.

The first structural origins can be found in the year 1754 (residential house) and can be named in further extensions and extensions with 1830, 1894 and finally with 1923. The main house (residential building) is two-storey with a loft in 6 axes. In the middle of the house, axes 3 and 4 are built over with a roof. The facade is extremely simple except for slightly structured cornices and pilaster strips. The windows are covered by segment arches, the reveals plastered and provided with heavy-duty shutters. Inside the courtyard, the main house was expanded in 1922 with a two-storey extension with a tiled mansard roof. The facade and window openings are based on the old building. The extension was planned and conceptualized by the well-known Krefeld architects Girmes und Oediger. On the gable side of the residential building, the two-storey gatehouse connects with the same facade and window design as the main house. The main entrance gate is covered by a basket arch and has an abutment with gate wedges made of natural stone material. The barn and stable buildings are made of the same material as the living quarters and gatehouse, openings with segmental arches, slightly flared, structured cornices and verges. The roof trusses are all laid down. Gate wedges and split pins with dates. Outside the actual courtyard, there is still a relic of a building that was once used for agriculture and animal husbandry, but its actual and actual purpose is no longer entirely evident or understandable today. Old woodwork and hand-forged fastening materials (nails, clasps, staples, etc.) allow dating to the end of the 18th or beginning of the 19th century. Inside the house, Cologne ceilings and the staircase on the first floor, as well as old wall and floor tiles in the entrance hall, are worth mentioning. For reasons of settlement and local history, protection is required.

The building complex mentioned above is a former three-winged courtyard with parts from the end of the 18th and end of the 19th century. Only the separately standing two-storey barn (end of the 19th century) with a gable roof and tile roofing is relevant. The masonry is made of field fire bricks and has window and gate openings covered by segment arches. The east-facing gable has elevated verges and exposed, strongly structured cornices. Some of the iron windows are still in their original condition. The external and internal design in terms of aesthetics or technical-functional aspects and execution is to be classified as industrial architecture. This can be recognized by the peculiarities in the relatively sparse furnishings and the depiction of historicizing style applications on the main side facades and the equivalents of the smooth concrete structures prevailing inside. This amalgamation is a successful example of strict clarity on the one hand and consideration for the traditions of the agricultural architectural style that was valid until then on the other. The latter can be seen from the fact that the gable facing east, i.e. facing the street, is adorned with small square brick turrets at both base points and at the top of the ridge.

Since this barn is still to be seen as a document for the economic, technical and perhaps also social past, it must be placed under protection for reasons of building and settlement history.

The origins of the courtyard building Hoxhöfe 18 go back to the middle of the 17th century and belonged to the Willich parish in the area of ​​the Streithover Honschaft. It is located on the connecting road that led from Korschenbroich / Kleinenbroich via Schiefbahn to Fischeln and then on to Krefeld and Linn, and was also used as a post line for a long time.

The farm complex initially had primarily agricultural functions, but since it was located on the post line and in the immediate vicinity of the Honschafts border to Krefeld, it was partly converted into an inn, with overnight accommodation, meals, horse change, etc. being offered for those passing through . The main house initially consisted of a pure framework and stud frame construction, but was then structurally changed in the first quarter of the 18th century on the outer walls, including the two gables, with massive field fire brick masonry. Towards the end of the 18th century, the original brick facade was provided with plasterwork that was banded across, and the openings on the street side were given plaster walls and stone benches. The roof structure lying on the ground is still in its original condition and has a hollow tile covering. Furthermore, a small beer cellar was installed in the course of the facade walling, which was then enlarged in later times. The main building, which today has seven axes and is located on the eaves, is still relatively well preserved in its substance and makes a striking impression due to its broad, sedate shape. The stables and feed storage buildings of that time are in ruins today, but should be returned to their old condition. The barn built later, standing separately, also made of field fire bricks, must be included in the entire ensemble. In summary, it can be stated that this is a farm complex that is relevant to the history of settlement and whose preservation should be guaranteed in any case.

This cemetery chapel was built around 1909 by the then Willich mayor Rieffert at a cost of 4,500.00 gold marks.

It is a two-part building modeled on classicism, which reflects the main features of this style epoch, the clarity and strictness of form. Then there is a gable roof supported by four square columns with an embedded round relief above the main portal. The column shafts are without any ornamental shape and the entasen are therefore only indicated. The capitals are strictly geometrically shaped. The main building in the raised storey has a hipped roof with a hollow tile roof. The masonry consists of field fire bricks, which are provided with a spray coating on the outside. Other dominant features of the main building are the plaster cornices, which are very pronounced. The corners of the building are also strongly formed plastering flanges, designed as pilaster strips. The lattice windows and the two-winged coffered main portal are made of wood and are still in their original state. The chapel is located in the middle of the main access axis from southeast to northeast and represents the center of the cemetery geometrically, in terms of landscape design and also visually. The above description shows that there is a public interest in the preservation and use of the cemetery chapel, which is based on the local history .

Description (Ulrich Stevens):

“This war memorial site forms the goal of a path axis that runs parallel to the main axis of the cemetery. The complex, built of natural stone walls, begins with a square courtyard that is divided into three steps and is surrounded by low walls, in which the cross path from the high cross crosses the axis of the memorial. The courtyard is surrounded by graves of those who died in World War II. At the rear of the forecourt, a wide flight of six steps flanked by wing walls with fire bowls leads up to a second, equally square, courtyard surrounded by high walls. This opens in a five-part (...) [colonnade; MK] with straight supports; On the wall surfaces remaining on the sides there are brackets for hanging wreaths and above them the year 1914 and 1939. At the back of the second courtyard there is an altar-like block in the middle, slightly jumping in front of the wall with the inscription: Germany must live and if we must die, including an iron cross and: Erected 1937–1939 by the community of Willich in honor of the highest sacrifice of their sons in Germany. The 'altar' is crowned by a relief of an eagle sitting on a sword. On each side there are two boards with names, the first of which is inscribed: They died for their people and fatherland. In front of the side walls are graves from the First World War. In turn, panels are embedded in the walls. These bear the names of those who died in the Second World War and each flank an inscription plaque. The one on the left bears the text under an iron cross: Remembrance of all war dead of the Germans expelled from their homeland 1939–1945; on the right - again under an iron cross -: This memorial was extended by the citizens of the community of Willich in 1964 to commemorate the dead in the war of 1939–1945, who seem to have been seamlessly incorporated into the meaning of the monument complex of the thirties. In the middle of this courtyard there is another large fire bowl on a stone block; In front of it, a bronze relief is placed on a stone tablet, showing the chest and arms of a human skeleton and bearing the inscription: The Victims of Injustice and Violence 1933–1945. "

Classification:

It is important to point out that the system was designed in the twenties and that a core part of the structure was probably built, and that after 1945 additions (“The Victims of Injustice and Violence 1933–45”) were added, but the existing ones not touched. Nevertheless, or because of this, the complex, as it has survived today, is essentially an almost unadulterated testimony to its main construction period in 1937/39. B. the German Association of Cities expressly consider it necessary to receive buildings and facilities from the “Third Reich” as evidence and documents from the time they were built. This of course also includes the protection of possibly anachronistic or even politically “dangerous” facilities, statements or iconographic building details - as is of course also done with other epochs or cultural monuments for which there is no similar political awareness. The question of whether and in what form a “pedagogical” comment should take place is, according to the preoccupation with and handling of “difficult” cultural monuments such as these, once again referred to the publications by Stevens and Nabrings mentioned.

The house is part of the surrounding development of the former church island before the Wiethase church was built. To create a forecourt, a gap was broken in this development, through which the building is now isolated from the rest of the development. According to the latest findings, dating to the beginning of the 19th century seems too late, as there was obviously wooden framework under the plastered facade until the end of the 19th century / beginning of the 20th century. It can also be a development from the beginning of the 18th century to the middle of the 18th century. The rear cultivation area was still used as a small craft business (roofing or shoemaking) until about 5 years ago.

The object consists of various structures that were more or less structurally coherent in the last quarter of the 19th century by the Krefeld manufacturer Gustav Klemme for a velvet factory. The factory complex itself is strongly structured in its inventory and has different heights and numbers of floors. The same applies to the roof shape and the facade design. The latter can be described as a typical representation of the industrial architecture emerging at the time. During the construction of this factory, it was possible to combine technical and engineering requirements and architectural urban design. Consistent use of field fire bricks in the form of rhythmic pilaster strips and friezes. Window coverings in round, segmental and straight shapes are the key elements of this construction method and make them significant for a historically determinable point in the development of the working and production conditions in Neersen.

Although parts of the facility have been removed in the meantime, careful restoration could make an architecture visible again, which, with full consideration and possibly subordination to technical purposes or different ideas, can restore scale and harmony. In view of the reorganization, the possible shutdown and the associated reconstruction or demolition of such a plant, the Kress plant is gaining importance as one of the last documents for such former production sites despite its simplicity and relatively simple construction and can be used today as an example of a previously common one, today but disappeared industrial architecture in its largely preserved original state. In addition, it should be noted that this factory complex described in its entirety, as well as the Neersen Castle opposite and the main road through the town, must be seen as a unit. This is why this building complex is worth preserving for reasons of local and industrial history.

Wayside chapel Wayside chapel Anrath
Jakob-Krebs-Strasse
map
This is a path chapel, built at the beginning of the 20th century (approx. 1910), in field fire brick masonry and a steep pitched roof with a soft covering, in the rear area as a half-sided conical roof over a semicircular apse. The façade surfaces are designed in two-tone brick masonry without any ornamentation. The window and door openings are provided with pointed arches. The heavy, saddled cornice is supported by 3 strongly pronounced pilaster-like pilaster strips.

On the entrance side, striking corner pilasters in the area of ​​the verges continue as heavy, sub-staggered cornices and are brought together at the ridge point with a square column pedestal and are crowned with a crux immissa (Latin: cross). The wall surface of the uniaxial entrance side is plastered as a facade mirror. It is worth mentioning that the chapel was built in direct connection with the new factory building and can therefore also be defined as a factory and company chapel.

The building is a half-timbered summer villa built in 1912 on a park-like property surrounded by an elaborate wall. The architecture therefore makes it a testimony to the architecture of the time, which was linked to the idea of ​​homeland security. As a manufacturer's summer villa, the building is also important for the history of Anrath.

Villa cancer Villa cancer Anrath
Jakob-Krebs-Strasse 153
map
It is a stately villa in the middle of a spacious piece of land directly opposite the former Jakob-Krebs cloth factory, which, due to its vegetation, allows hardly any view from the street. The building was erected, in a sense a redant for the “summer villa” from 1912 (Jakob-Krebs-Str. 126; registered monument), in 1949 in a traditionalist design language and for the time a very generous, luxurious design. The villa was built for the then owner of the Jakob-Krebs-Tuchfabrik opposite, Willi Krebs, manufacturer and mayor of Anrath, by the Krefeld architect Gilliam.

The spatial program is divided into three wings made of white sponged brick in double angular form, so that a courtyard is framed on the front and back. The two-story main structure has a high, z. A hipped roof with slotted dormer windows, which is towed down to ground floor level on the narrow side, while it ends higher on the front and rear broad sides, exposing two full upper floors there. The entrance side is characterized by the entrance porch with seven window axes raised in the middle above a few steps, windowed through to the side and provided with a lattice door, which forms an exit on the upper floor. The building owner's initials (WK) and the year 1949 can be found in the balcony grating. A single-storey staff and utility wing with a gable roof surrounds the entrance courtyard, which is covered with natural stone slabs. In its front side (in the building application drawings towards the courtyard) there is a two-wing (garage) gate, a separate entrance is attached on the rear side from the courtyard. At the rear, two large double-leaf French windows open the interior to the garden on the ground floor (again slightly different from the design). On the upper floor, a balcony is attached across the entire width of the rear front, which merges into the flat roof of the single-storey bedroom wing. The fact that the dining room is slightly in front of the escape creates a terrace that is protected on both sides. A second, smaller terrace is arranged on the other side of the dining room, which opens in an arched arch to the garden. Doors, wooden lattice windows and shutters are all preserved. Partly protected and decorated with bars. Under the windows are some lead-glazed colored windows, e.g. Some with coats of arms or figurative scenes. If one looks at the inner floor plan, one notices the comparatively small number of rooms given the total area of ​​the house; the individual rooms are therefore usually extremely generous. Luxurious materials such as dark precious wood, which is found in the doors, radiator cladding and the furniture that was made in-house (many of which were still in the house during the tour), dominate the impression of the room. Through the original front door with skylight and lantern you first enter a marble-paneled vestibule and then the corridor, which is perpendicular to the entrance front and covered with Solnhofer tiles. The stairs are arranged to the left of the entrance, parallel to the outer wall. The approach to the first steps turns into the hallway; its parapet is closed and has wooden handrails that match the steps. To the right, an arched wing leads to the study (with low paneling and remarkable built-in wall units) and to the bedroom wing, the living and dining room, as stately living rooms facing the garden, both are also laid out with Solnhof panels and connected by a sliding door. In the living room there is a fireplace, the ledge of which is supported by nested half-length caryatid pilasters and the hearth is lined with Delft-style tiles. The upper floor is organized in the same way, with (bedrooms) facing the garden and a hall on the front outer wall. A stained window in the hallway with a figurative motif (Martinszug) may indicate a child's room. An interesting detail is also the shaft for dirty laundry, which leads from the upper floor directly into the laundry room in the basement. There is a large kitchen in the staff and service wing, which has its own entrance and its own simple staircase. A granny flat was provided in the plan drawings in its developed roof zone; Whether this ever existed or whether, which is more likely, the rooms of the staff were arranged here from the start, must remain open at the moment. The space under the sloping ceilings is cleverly used here for built-in wardrobes.

Architectural historical appreciation:

With its design, Villa Krebs follows the conservative-traditionalist direction in architecture of the 20th century, which is known as homeland security architecture. In their self-image it was a "down-to-earth", "landscape-bound" construction method that tried to use traditional forms and materials in a contemporary way. This direction was in various forms between the turn of the century and the fifties. Immediately after the Second World War, the Heimatschutz architecture experienced a brief upswing for various reasons before it was lost in the post-war modernity of the “economic miracle”. Characteristic features of the Villa Krebs are e.g. For example, the broad structure with a distinctive pitched roof, the harmonious (axially symmetrical) proportions of an otherwise largely ornament-free facade through tall rectangular windows and French doors, the functional, simple floor plan with bright rooms, the targeted arrangement of rows of dormers for roof design, the use of traditional handicraft techniques for demonstrative purposes Details (brick lintels; shutters; wrought iron; wood and natural stone inside) as well as masonry construction methods, such as the sponge brick and the reference to traditional building types or structures, without copying them. Here in Anrath there is a clear reference to mansions typical of the region, but also to large farmhouses, even if, on closer inspection, there is no question of imitation. Rather, the villa corresponds ideally to the "landscape-bound building" of the 1930s, as it was canonized at the time in building guides, design doctrines, model buildings, etc. Noticeable is z. B. the external relationship with the youth hostel in Kleve-Materborn (1938/39) by architect Peter Dierichsweiler. Even after 1945, this construction method expressed conservative solidity and living standard in villa construction. This should be emphasized in the present case, as it is an extraordinarily luxurious building for the time it was built, both in terms of size and equipment. While at this time emergency remedial measures were often necessary elsewhere using primitive means, here an entrepreneurial villa embodies continued wealth. It is no coincidence that this is expressed here in conservative, elegantly simple architectural forms, the design philosophy of which is expressly directed against both the ostentatiously displayed prosperity (e.g. the sumptuous mansions of the Wilhelminian era and the turn of the century) and against the avant-garde functionalist modernity ( see the Kaiser residences in Viersen). In addition, it could also be viewed by the client as appropriate to the rural and small-town region.

Client:

The modern economic history of Anrath after the decline of the house weaving mill and the devastating hurricane of 1891 is closely linked to the Krebs company. Jakob Krebs, the client's father, came from Mönchengladbach and was initially a co-owner of the Mönchengladbach cloth factory Tiggeler & Krebs and manager of the Anrath cloth factory Dererichs & Co. In 1907, he began expanding his own company from the remains of the Dererichs company, which had since been closed soon became the most important employer in Anrath together with Lange (later Verseidag). His son Willi, who succeeded him in the company management, modernized the company in the fifties and sixties in order to preserve its nationally significant market position (including switching to synthetic fibers). In 1994 the Krebs company went bankrupt. Willi Krebs was mayor of Anrath from 1948 until shortly before his death. “Under his leadership the destroyed village had to be rebuilt and, in particular, problems of famine and refugee problems had to be overcome. The sewer system was being tackled. Kindergartens and new schools were built and the hospital modernized. (...) As a sponsor of Anrath clubs, his name can be found in many club chronicles. As an unnamed benefactor, he was valued in social and church institutions. His social attitude to community tasks, his balanced political understanding and his entrepreneurial skills, qualities to which the development of the village of Anrath owes a lot after the Second World War, were honored in 1968 by the community representatives with the award of honorary citizenship "(Date 1979, p. 33).

Monument value:

As the residence of an important entrepreneur and long-time mayor of Anrath, "with whose name 20 years of Anrath history after the Second World War are closely connected" (date 1979, p. 33) and who, according to the building application, also maintained a workroom for "mayor's meetings", Villa Krebs is important for Willich. Since it is seldom clearly preserved in its original form, down to the details of its furnishings, there is a public interest in its preservation and use for scientific, in particular architectural-historical reasons, in connection with its architectural historical value as set out above. There are also local and economic-historical reasons due to the person of the client. It is therefore a monument according to § 2 DSchG NRW.

Friedhofskreuz Friedhof Neersen Friedhofskreuz Friedhof Neersen Neersen
Kirchhofstrasse
map
The cemetery cross with priests' graves in the cemetery in Neersen, Kirchhofstraße, is a monument within the meaning of § 2 DSchG NRW. It is important for the city of Willich. Its preservation is in the public interest for scientific, here historical reasons

History:

Due to new, above all hygienically motivated regulations from the French and Prussian times, the old inner-city church and cemeteries were often abandoned and built-up areas in front of the cities and towns were relocated. So the present Neersen cemetery was created in 1823-25 ​​on the then communal route via Anrath to Viersen on a still open area in front of the site. Not until 1798, after the main street had been separated, was a churchyard laid out, which then had to be closed again in 1825. In order to avoid the historical maps, extensions were made around 1900 and in the course of the 20th century, which can also be read in the floor plan. Thanks to a donation from Josef Kaiser (s) from Niederheide, the large cemetery cross was erected in 1865.

Description:

Cemetery cross, sandstone, height approx. 4 m, erected in 1865. Pin-like structure, ending in a cross with a crucifix. In the base niche the wooden statuette of a Mother of God, around 1950 an older grave slab (second use) with inscriptions for Rev. Heiner Ohoven 1708–1868; for Rev Heinrich Josef Mertens 1838–1885; for Rev Rudolf Matthey 1832–1902. There is also a small marble slab for Rev Joseph Storms 1853–1919. On the back of the cemetery cross and in the surrounding priestly grave there is a grave for Rev. Mertens, Matthey and Rev. Joseph Voss 1876–1942. Inscription panels on all four sides of the base of the cross. Front: HAEC CRUX ERECTA EST SUB PASTORE OHOVEN ANNO MDCCCLXV; to the side: Your cross / o most auspicious Jesus / be the one here / resting / hope, life / and / resurrection .; on the right side: I am the / resurrection / and life / whoever believes in me / becomes / even if he / has died. The inscription on the back is no longer legible.

Description:

As the central cross of the Neersen cemetery, which was built in 1823-25 ​​and is still in use today, the cemetery cross is important for Neersen. This applies in the same way to the surrounding grave sites of the priests, which are combined with the cross to form a unit. The preservation of the cross and the associated histor. Priest graves of the 19th and 1st half of the 20th century The 20th century is in the public interest for scientific and local historical reasons. With its neo-Gothic shapes and the corresponding inscriptions, the cross represents the early days of today's cemetery from the 19th century, of which no other noteworthy evidence has survived apart from the original floor plan that can still be read. The preserved priestly graves also contribute to this, and they also pass on an important piece of local and parish history. According to § 2 (1) DSchG NRW it is therefore a monument.

This three-aisled, neo-Gothic brick hall church with a slightly projected west tower, transverse roofs, ridge turrets and polygonal choir with side chapels was built by Prof. Kleesattel in 1897/98. Almost all of the windows date from the time the church was built, only a few have been renewed. The historical interior is inextricably linked to the monument. Particularly noteworthy are the late Gothic crucifixion group, various figures of saints, such as that of the parish priest Johannes d. T., St. Apostle Matthias, the remaining part of the old high altar, the baptismal font, the Johannessschüssel with reliquary of Johannes d.

The building is essentially a 2-storey residential and commercial building that probably dates from the 18th century. While the street-side gable is solid, the eaves side on the upper floor still consists of half-timbered houses. The roof structure is also original. In contrast, the first floor has been completely changed inside and out. However, the house forms an essential part of the old town center of Anrath, right next to the church. The remains of the original substance and the urban location are the reasons for the monument status, despite considerable impairments in the ground floor area.

This is the old actual cemetery of the Jewish community Schiefbahn, which was laid out in 1835. At that time the Jewish community in Schiefbahn numbered about 50 souls. Its size was about 14 ares. In 1866 the cemetery was provided with a moat, as the area was often under water and burials, especially during the winter months, were hardly possible. Today there are still 6 gravestones in the old Jewish cemetery, which are described in detail in the appendix. These are historical and cultural-historical testimonies from an important period in Willich's history. The protection of the complex is in the public interest for reasons of cultural history and folklore. 1835 Aug 29, 1988 70

In a letter dated April 14, 1988, the Remmertz couple applied for their house to be entered in the list of monuments of the city of Willich. This building is a single-storey house from 1688. It is built on one side and has a tiled gable roof. The free-standing gable side is an original framework with strong cross bars. The elevation is striking and shows natural growth in the struts. The two-part window axes are offset in terms of window frame and window size in the attic. The infill consists of brickwork with a white plastered surface. The stud work on the inside of the building was largely left in its original state despite the larger construction on the ground floor and partly still shows its original construction. Due to these features, which the property Knabbenweg 13, 47877 Willich-Anrath shows, there is a public interest in the preservation and use of this property for reasons of folklore and urban development. 1688 58 Feb 1990 80


Infirmary Cross Infirmary Cross Willich

map
The infirmary cross was donated to the Holy Virgin by Willich notary J. Ackers and his wife S. Borger in 1731 and is located at the “Kruse Boom” on Heiligenweg / Kreuzstrasse. It takes its name from an infirmary that probably stood here as early as 1668. Such a building served as accommodation for the lepers or lepers who had been stricken with contagious diseases and who had to live outside the settlements and were characterized by special clothing - mostly burlap clothes. The inscription on the cross names its founder and the year of construction in the chronogram in Latin script; in it it says in German: This cross was erected in honor of God and the Blessed Virgin by the married couple Notar Ackers and Sibilla Borger.

Preservation and use of the Infirmary Cross are in the public interest for ethnological reasons.

The building Kreuzstr. 12, located in the immediate vicinity of the parish church of St. Katharina, is a relic from the former church island renovation from the middle of the 18th century.

It was part of a narrow row of buildings around the old parish church, which was demolished in 1899 and with which by far the largest part of the church renovation was also cleared. The property is two-story with 3: 1: 2 axes and is covered by a roof structure that is still in its original state, but today it is covered with newer roof tiles. The framework and stud work, the wooden beam ceiling, the stairs, etc. are still in their old, original condition. The same applies to the masonry shell made from field fire bricks that was later added. The facade in the area of ​​the street was later plastered and painted. The rear front, directly based on the nave, can still be seen in the old facing. The preservation of this building, apart from its age, its architectural style and its location, is important because it still clearly illustrates the way of living at that time on the one hand and the combination of half-timbered and solid construction on the other. In addition, the former alignment of the old Kreuzstraße can still be reconstructed from the location of the building. For reasons of settlement, culture and architectural history, this building must be placed under protection.

Fire station Fire station Willich
Kreuzstrasse 14–16
map
For the volunteer fire brigade in Willich, which was founded in 1889, a first syringe house was built next to the then already existing town hall on Kaiserplatz. This was torn down again in 1908 and replaced with a new one at the current location diagonally across from the town hall.

The fire station from 1908, originally built as a free-standing solitary building in red brick, consists of a carriage hall and a riser tower. The wagon hall is provided with a mansard roof, which is structured by a pointed gable dwelling with a stair-shaped verge cornice and arched twin windows. The formerly narrower gate is located under the dwelling. In the wall section next to the gate there was an arched window that is no longer available today (compare cover picture for the anniversary documentation from 1889 to 1989 Willich volunteer fire brigade). The four-storey riser tower with a tent roof is integrated into the alignment of the front facade. The round-arched openings are covered by half-stone thick accompanying strips, which, like the cornices and eaves cornices, are (partially) made of yellow bricks. The sloping sills of the windows are covered with black glazed bricks. The subsequent gable facade, which is now covered by the fire station built in 1964, was structured in the same system. Inside the fire station, the equipment of the Steiger Tower has been preserved. Three platforms are accessed by steep iron ladders. In the platforms there are recesses of approx. 1.00 m × 1.00 m through which the hoses intended for drying can be pulled under the beams of the tower roof. A ceiling made of Prussian caps is located above the carriage hall and the roof space is illuminated through the twin windows in the gable. The fire station itself in Willich is a relatively well-handed down example of the organization of fire protection on the one hand, and on the other it documents very largely the fire service at the turn of the century in a small rural town. The architectural language of the fire station is based on the round arch style that has been common since the middle of the last century. This classicist style was still in use after the turn of the century, especially in the area of ​​functional buildings, and was combined with neo-Gothic forms. The property in Willich is a good example of the design of a functional building from the turn of the century. The pump truck from the Hoxhöfen from the turn of the century is part of the fire station's equipment worth preserving. A tub with a capacity of approx. 80 l is mounted on a wrought-iron chassis with iron-fitted wooden wheels. In the tub there is a double pump that could be operated by eight men with wrought iron levers. There are nozzles on the side of the tub, on one side the water was sucked in through a hose, on the other side the syringe hose was attached. There is a bench seat in front of the tub and a material box behind the tub, which is also designed as a seat for firefighters on board. In terms of urban development, the fire station is part of the development on the edge of the Kaiserplatz and accentuates a corner of the square with the town hall, which was built shortly before in 1892. For these reasons, this fire station is important for human history and for the history of Willich. The preservation of the property is in the public interest for urban, artistic and scientific, especially architectural-historical reasons.

Residential house Hannenvilla Residential house Hannenvilla Willich
Kreuzstrasse 36
map
This is a two-storey residential building, built around the turn of the century, with a loft under a tile-covered gable roof. There is a two-storey bay porch with its own roof on each side. The roof areas here are also saddled, but with small hips. The entire attic is made up of visible frameworks and studs with smooth plaster infills. The cross and parabolic struts in the jamb area are strikingly visible. Long towed roofs are located above the small, three-part roof windows.

Otherwise the facade is relatively unadorned. The street side is triaxial, whereby here and all the other window openings on the house are covered in a segment arc. The window openings themselves are elevated and still have the original window construction. Inside the house, the well-designed wooden staircase with a closed wooden construction and concise railing, the original roof structure and the cellar ceilings are worth mentioning. The original doors and panels are still present on the ground floor. The conception of the house is decorated in the style of the Goethe era (around 1800, mainly used by Paul Mebes and Paul Schulze-Naumburg) and in the area of ​​the old Willich city center represents an excellent example of the villa style used at the time around the turn of the century The building itself was initially designed as a purely single-family house with the character of a villa and was used accordingly, later it was used as the administration building of the Hannen brewery and is now used again as an apartment building after the brewery's relocation. For reasons of location and architectural history, it is necessary to place it under protection.

Building no. 6 Becker Laborg steelworks. Building no. 6 Becker Laborg steelworks. Willich
Laborweg 6 / Schmelzerstraße 2
map
According to the Dauber report of September 28, 1990, building no. 12 originates from the first phase of operational development at the Becker steelworks, which began with construction in 1908. "Laboratory" is specified as the intended purpose in the documents received. The exterior of the mainly two-story plastered building is stylistically matched to the neighboring main administration building, but implements its elaborate detail design in simpler forms. It is possible to distinguish between a larger component with a bent roof, five axes of high rectangular, but simpler forms of attached, flat-roofed structures attached to the front gable, with two-axis wide windows to the front, to which another single-storey part is connected to the rear.

A color-contrasting surrounding pilaster strip divides the wall surfaces into fields, whereby the center of the left component is emphasized on the front gable and the corner pilasters are accentuated by capitals. The windowless gable shows a glare structure. The eaves side of the older part is emphasized by pilaster strips in regular fields to four times, smaller especially highlighted, the largest a gate-like double-wing entrance at the front of the younger part. The interior on the ground floor is partly designed as a large room with a girder support structure. In the rear area there is still a staircase from the construction period with ornamented metal railings. As an integral part of the former Becker steelworks, the above building is important for Willich and the development of working and production conditions. Its substantially good and clear preservation defines the testimony value for industrial construction around 1910. There is a public interest in preservation and use for scientific, in particular architectural, local and economic-historical reasons. According to § 2 (1) DSchG NRW it is therefore a monument.

Residential building Residential building Schiefbahn
Linsellesstrasse 98
map
This property is a single-storey residential house attached to the eaves with a loft in three axes and a tile-covered gable roof, originally semi-detached. The gable is biaxial, the lower right opening being designed as a house entrance. The year of construction for this house was probably 1894. The front and the gable are made with visible red field fire bricks. Special construction details are the segmental arches above the windows, the decorative ribbons and cornice consoles as well as yellow stone material as contrast points.

The front is also noticeable through a diaphragm with a tail gable and heavily structured corner pilasters. The base of the house was relatively high in its original state, but was shortened considerably by raising the level of the street or sidewalk. No structural changes have been made inside the house, so all floor plans can be seen in their original state. Only the inner cellar stairs and the old windows have been removed in the meantime. The roof structure is also still in its original state. Particularly striking is a smaller dormer on the front with a gable roof and natural slate on all sides. The first floor ceiling consists of wooden beams; the ceiling above the basement, on the other hand, has a Prussian cap construction. The house originally had a domestic water supply in the form of a well drainage. This fountain is still there today, but has been built in the meantime. The residential building reflects the living conditions at the turn of the century and is therefore to be placed under protection for reasons of location and settlement history.

This property is the left half of a double dwelling, built in 1828/29, with two full storeys, a tiled gable roof and eight axes.

the entire building was fundamentally rebuilt. The originally existing facade elements, such as the baluster attika, the diaphragm with a curved structure above axes four and five, the stilted consoles and balusters on the balconies and the stucco above the window openings and the gable were removed, so that the facade is now in use after the dismantling and renovations neoclassical style can be recognized. The facade is plastered, painted in mineral colors and naturally no longer has any noticeable ornamentation. The interior of the house is particularly concise in the area of ​​the staircase and the ground floor ceilings. Particularly noteworthy are the wooden stairs in closed construction including the heavy bar railing, the wall paneling with framework and filling, the segmented arched wooden canopy in a coffered form below the staircase on the ground floor and the marble gas stoves. The existing glazing (partly lead, partly crystal glazing) on ​​doors, ceiling light surfaces and room dividers is particularly expressive and masterly, whereby the antique glass and partly the existing facet cut are particularly striking. Some of the ceiling surfaces have strongly structured stucco ornamentation. The building described here can be considered a town house and the architecture used here reflects the importance of the conception of representation and creative representation at the time. This can be clearly seen and read from the facade design described above. There is also relevance in terms of urban planning, as the former line of alignment of Peterstrasse / Marktplatz / Kreuzstrasse can be traced on this house described above. The significance of the house at Markt 11 for the district of Alt-Willich and the local history associated with it is recognizable and therefore indispensable. There are also urban planning reasons because this building is part of the historical development on the market square and thus contributes significantly to the character of the old Willich inner city. In addition, the facade shows, even today after the redesign, a dominant representation of the then emerging upper middle class.

Station station building Station station building Willich
Moltkeplatz 1
map
After the Rheinische Eisenbahn established the connection to Belgium in 1843 and discriminated against what was then the largest industrial city in the Rhineland in terms of tariffs, a rival company emerged with the Aachen-Düsseldorfer Eisenbahn. The merger of this line with the Bergisch-Märkische Eisenbahn with the construction of the Hammer Railway Bridge near Düsseldorf brought the competition with the Rheinische Eisenbahn to a certain end. Until then, the Rheinische Eisenbahn tried to simply buy up the annoying competitor. Now both companies tried to break into the "domains" of the other.

The up-and-coming industrial city of Mönchengladbach had been connected to the network of the later Bergisch-Märkische Eisenbahn since 1851. Now on November 20, 1871, the Rheinische Eisenbahn applied for a connection from Neuss and Krefeld to Mönchengladbach. On November 15, 1877, the Krefeld-Viersen-Mönchengladbach am Speik line went into operation. The railway line management of the two competitors around and in Mönchengladbach underwent significant changes after the nationalization of the Rhenish Railway on January 1, 1886, which, however, hardly affected the Willich station. The station building erected in 1878 was designed by the management of the Rheinische Eisenbahn together with its twin in Schiefbahn. The departmental builder Richter created a work that fully met the demands of railway architects at the time. The brick facades corresponded to the desire for down-to-earth building material and strongly structured structures with its North German-looking stepped gables and ornate chimneys that of an original plan. The entire brick masonry, of the otherwise aspiring building due to its design, was horizontally structured by decorative ribbons. In the eaves and parapet area of ​​the 1st floor, the decorative ribbons widened to form friezes. The lintels and the decorative arches in the gables, some of which have pinnacles, give the exterior of the building its peculiar charm through their emphasis. Elaborate iron anchor pins and the beveled sills and the tops of the stair gables deliberately enhanced the impression. The railway stations in Neuss and Mönchengladbach were also built in this manner, which unfortunately did not survive the further railway renovation phases. The Willich station building (as well as its counterpart in Schiefbahn) is the last surviving example of the great railway station construction epoch of the Rhenish private railway era and is important for the development of the railway station building construction. In addition to these scientific reasons, there are also artistic reasons for a public interest in the preservation and use according to DSchG NRW due to the prominent design.

It is a two-story, eaves-standing half-timbered house with a shortened side, which can be dated to at least the 18th century. The original cross-frame windows are preserved or can be read. The front door to Neersener Straße is from the 18th century. There is a high hallway inside the building. The Cologne ceilings have been preserved, as well as the roof structure and the doors from the 18th century. In addition, an old fireplace with its tiles has been preserved. The Vaaterb, also called Schelges-Haus, is a typical Anrath street house, which has its longest front along the street. This old house square is one of the old dwellings within the Anrath Wall and Trench, which were probably built as cottages around the manor house of the Uerdingen lords at the time of Charlemagne. (Reference: Anrather Heimatbuch 1983, p. 21 following and 13 following) Preservation and use of the building are in the public interest for reasons of architectural history, folklore and urban development. 18th century June 16, 1985 37


former Lorenz Hospital former Lorenz Hospital Anrath
Neersener Str. 41
map
The former Lorenz Hospital in Anrath represents the first actual hospital building in the community. The previous facility, the "Laurenz Hospital", which was inaugurated in 1873 and last expanded in 1881, was still built as a hospital for the poor.

The medical care, ideas and requirements for hygiene, nursing and medical care as well as the inadequate spatial conditions forced the decision to build a completely new building as early as 1902; this is essentially the building that has survived to this day. Financial difficulties - the funds of the Lorenz Schmitz'schen Foundation were insufficient, the civil parish and the municipal council had to step in - did not allow construction to actually begin until August 1904, after the municipality had acquired the property on Neersener Strasse. The Krefeld architect Cleve was responsible for planning and building supervision. The Winkelbau was put into use in 1906. It was used to accommodate 90 people: the sick, elderly people and children; A multiple use can thus also be determined here. In 1926 an old people's home was set up; It was not until 1947 that the last orphans moved out of the building, which did not do justice to the different uses. Until about 1970 it served exclusively as a hospital - repeatedly modernized. Since then it has taken on various urban uses. This building, which was erected from 1904, is an asymmetrical two-storey angular structure above a high base with a gable roof that was probably later expanded to its present-day form. The sober brick building is sparingly structured by light plaster strips and simple brick ornaments; the sills of the windows, mostly covered with arches, were covered with originally colored (dark green) glazed bricks. Located at an angle, the development leads to a considerable asymmetry both in the interior layout (contrary to the symmetry prevailing in such functional buildings of the time, taking into account the light conditions) and in the facade design. The part of the building parallel to Neersener Straße - also highlighted architecturally as a front side - is differentiated into the mighty gable building and the slightly recessed transverse structure that adjoins to the right and is extended to the rear on the right outside in the line. The gable-facing structure with its central portal and front staircase comprises 7 axes in a ratio of 2: 3 (or portal): 2. In addition to the structural elements listed below, the central axis is provided with three windows that are already part of the roof zone or a central arched niche with a saint figure additional increase. The soaring pseudo-gable with a stair-like stepped ridge coronation is framed by lateral corner guards. The motif of the round-arched portal is enhanced by a round-arched overhanging arch that frames the two upper storey fields; the enclosed area is richly structured by decorative masonry and plaster strips, ending in a circular shape with a central round window and six framing circular elements. The window structures of the lateral axes are clearly graded with smaller overlapping arches with enclosed plastered surfaces and a triple inscribed circular shape. Corner pilaster strips, continued over the gable by means of an arched frieze, as well as arched windows on the ground floor and arched windows in the upper zones round off the image of the rich decorative elements that remain in the area. The four-axis side wing - the axes separated by plaster strips extending over both storeys - adopts the aforementioned canon of forms in a somewhat weakened manner: plastered windows divided into 3 mediate between the windows of the two storeys, a circular arched frieze denotes the wall crowns; the hipped gable roof has only a slight overhang. The wide side front with its asymmetrical 3 window axes seems unchanged. The two-storey structure, arched windows and all-round arched frieze determine the restrained rear parts of the building. The two rear gable sides have been permanently changed by later renovations - enlargement of windows or the addition of an extension tower. Inside, the unchanged main staircase with its original design (renewed and falsifying color processing) with parts of the original glazing deserves a mention. The stylistically non-uniform building - the formal canon uses elements between Romanesque, Gothic and Renaissance - can be seen as a typical representative of the stylistic pluralism that prevailed at the turn of the century, which was mainly reflected in public buildings. The building receives its monument value for reasons of art, here particularly architectural history, historical or medical history as well as local history. A single-storey extension on the right side of the property belongs to the main building.

The Goebkeshof (sometimes referred to as Gaebkes- or Jöbkeshof) is mentioned for the first time in 1446 as Kurmundsgut (tax yard) of the St. Quirinus Stift in Neuss. In 1660, due to a survey by the Office Kempen, as part of the peasantry listed Klein Kempen, the Goebkeshof later, at the time of the French. Occupation, also included in the tranchot card. Between the years 1751 (based on an estimate as a result of a tax dispute) to 1913, the farm estate increased from initially 6 acres and 3 rods to a total of 20 acres, 6 ares and 71 m². Today the property is to be classified as a square courtyard with a newer two-story residential building, which was built in its current form as a replacement for the earlier one towards the end of the 19th century. It has 3: 3 axes with a gently sloping, tiled hipped roof as well as strongly pronounced tile cornices, facade changes and corner pilasters, all in field-fired brick masonry.

The windows and doors are covered by segment arches, the front door is still in its original condition. Inside the house, the storey staircase is worth mentioning in its closed construction with the well-executed entry posts and filler bars, as well as some stucco ceiling parts and striking floor tiles. The stables and barns are, like the house, also made of field-fired brick masonry, but with tiled gable roofs. The facades are relatively unadorned, with the exception of the slightly exposed cornices and corner pilasters. The window, door and gate covers are segmented and the roof trusses are partially preserved in their old condition. For reasons of local history and the history of the settlement, a protected status is necessary.

Busch / Jenner cement factory Busch / Jenner cement factory Willich
Osterather Strasse 11
map
1922: Willicher Cementwaren-Fabrik Busch & Jenner (two applications; 1. To demolish the two floors of the four-story "warehouse building" which had fallen into disrepair due to fire. 2. To roof over the "factory building that was destroyed by fire except for the surrounding walls". The building should be restored Approval: "to roof the extension of the factory building destroyed by fire").

1926: Renewal of the approval of the application that was apparently not carried out in 1922 (building contractor: Bernhard Kamper, Willich) 1931: Conversion of the residential and warehouse building The corner of Martin-Rieffert-Straße 43-45 / Osterather Straße 11 in Willich is characterized by two elongated eaves-standing brick buildings of the 19th century, which are connected by a wall running over a corner. There is another brick building on the large courtyard behind the two buildings. The complex is one of the oldest preserved factory and commercial complexes in Alt-Willich, whose history can only be partially reconstructed so far. An undated site plan is preserved in the historical building file, which probably dates from the 19th century and shows the buildings as "Wohnhaus & Stallungen" (Martin-Rieffert-Straße 43-45; at that time Wilhelmstraße) and "Dampfmühle / Maschinen & Kesselhaus" ( Building Osterather Straße 11; at the time Communalweg to Osterath). Gardens are drawn between and behind the buildings, as well as smaller structures (fountain, chimney?). A wedge stone on the back of the house bears the inscription “W.Oe 1868”, another inscription stone in today's garden “Jos. Oemmelen / Ther. Compes. 1875 ". 1875 also shows the street-side anchor dating of the factory building at Osterather Straße 11. With these dates, the early history of the area should be outlined, that on the preuss. New inclusion at the beginning of the 1890s, east of the town center of Willich, is clearly visible in a relatively free location. A building application from 1911 provides the next reliable date with information on the function. In the meantime, the building materials company "Busch [er] & Jenner" is located here and intends to build a "workshop for cement processing" behind the two existing buildings - probably the one-story building in the courtyard that still exists today. In 1922, the “Willicher Cementwaren-Fabrik Busch & Jenner” applied for the demolition of two floors of the four-story warehouse that had become dilapidated by fire and for permission to roof over the surrounding walls. After restoration, the building will be used as a storage room. The city's approval was "to roof the annex of the factory building destroyed by fire", so that it is not entirely clear which part of the building - possibly just the annex, which is now ruined? - was exactly affected. In 1926 the permit was renewed for the work that had apparently not yet been carried out. In 1931 the residential and former stable, now warehouse, was converted. The house on Martin-Rieffert-Straße is now used entirely as a residential building and has been rebuilt several times for this purpose. However, it has been preserved as a building in the old proportions and a clear portion of the old building fabric. Because of the existing changes, it will not be considered in this report. The factory building at Osterather Straße 11 is now a two-story brick building with a hipped roof, laid out on six axes, the segment-arched openings to the street are walled up on the ground floor, and on the upper floor (somewhat smaller) they have old metal lattice windows. The two-axle extension on the right and the adjoining gate passage must apparently be viewed as largely ruinous. The facade is divided into small pieces by pilaster strips and cornices. The upper wall finish is carefully executed with a block frieze, which in relation to the fire in 1922 is to be assessed either as a very careful repair or as an indication that only the extension was actually affected. Between the two floors, the name of the cement goods factory is barely legible on a strip of plaster / cement. The courtyard side of the factory building is basically the same. The floors inside are largely free of fixtures, on the ground floor a wooden frame divides the room, a simple wooden staircase leads upstairs. The basement with a concrete capped ceiling underpins only part of the building today (the other part, according to the owners, may have been filled after the fire in 1922), here a chimney-like, but functionally undefined wall block (substructure?) Has been preserved. As one of the oldest surviving factory buildings in the village with an impact and clarity that shapes the urban space, the former factory building at Osterather Straße 11 is important for Alt-Willich, City of Willich. In connection with the associated house on Martin-Rieffert-Straße, the connecting wall and the large property with another workshop building, the factory building conveys the very vivid way of an early, small industrial company of the 19th century. This structural clarity was retained during changes in use and renovations after the fire in 1922. In the small-town area immediately adjacent to the town center, the property as a whole, but the factory building directly on the street with its good design and the many historical traces of construction, has a particularly remarkable urban development effect. Unfortunately, the residential building, which was not visited intensively during the site inspection, has already changed more, the workshop on the site and the extension to the factory building are essentially no longer intact. The maintenance and use of the well-preserved factory building (marked in red), on the other hand, is in the public interest for the urban planning reasons mentioned. In addition, there are architectural and local history reasons, because of the authentic traditional character of the building fabric and because of the long local tradition of the Busch & Jenner company, which has been handed down on the facade by old lettering - one of the typical smaller companies that apart from the dominant industries on site (brewery, textile , Steel mill) nevertheless formed a backbone of the economic infrastructure in industrial and urban development. Since the requirements of § 2 (1) DSchG NRW are met, it is a monument.

The open, four-winged brick courtyard was built in 1834. It is closed by a boundary wall with a wooden gate over which there is a wrought iron grille. The 5-axis, 2-storey residential building (gable to the street: 3-axis, 2-storey, above 2 ox eyes) was provided with a plastered facade on the outer eaves side around 1900. In the course of this measure, the door opening was changed and a double-leaf door with Art Nouveau decor was installed. In the residential building there are two operating rooms above a larger cellar, a utility kitchen with bluestone covering on the floor, simple stucco ceilings on the ground floor, the original doors and a staircase that was built in around 1900. The paving of the corridor floor is also preserved. The roof structure is very complex and in very good condition. The room division has remained almost unchanged. The window division has been changed on the gable side, but is still completely preserved on the eaves side.

All four structures (house, large barn and two stable wings) show crooked hips and Dutch corners in the gables. The outbuildings have been partially changed, but the original condition is clearly visible. The large barn shows a very beautiful, well-preserved stand and roof construction inside. The two stable buildings are kept simpler, with a wooden beam ceiling between the stable and the attic. The stable facing the street shows severe damage to the roof structure and has therefore been demolished except for the outer wall. The entry of the courtyard in the list of monuments is in the public interest and is absolutely necessary for reasons of local history and settlement history.

Residential and commercial building Residential and commercial building Willich
Peterstrasse 18
map
The main building at Peterstr. 18 was made at the end of the 19th century. It is two-story in 6 axes. Axes 1 and 2 are designed as a gate passage on the left side. The fourth axis on the ground floor functions as a house entrance. The street-side facade consists of smooth plastered surfaces, window and door openings with stuck-on, historicizing decorative shapes. The roof structure is shown as a gable roof and is still in its original state. Inside the building, the Cologne ceilings and the old staircase construction are worth mentioning.

It is a testimony to the changed self-confidence of the craftsmen (formerly cooperage) and their orientation towards the bourgeoisie. It can be seen that the social ranking was given great importance. The architecture used reflects the importance of the conception of representation and creative representation as a synagese at that time. The development of work and production conditions is thus clearly visible and legible; Especially when you see the aspects: facade design with its discreetly decorated and yet simple surface structure on the one hand and the outbuildings on Friedrichstrasse belonging to the monument on the other hand in a synergetic context. The inherently simple construction was made invisible to the outside viewer by means of good craftsmanship and good design concealment of the facade, so that the facade itself allowed the owner a certain self-expression. In addition, the beginning of the decentralization of living and working can be seen particularly clearly in this example. It is also relevant in terms of urban planning, as it is one of the few houses that others can see the former alignment of Peterstraße. The importance of the house at Peterstraße 18 for the Alt-Willich district and for the history of the people is recognizable. There are therefore ethnological and urban planning reasons that call for the building to be maintained and used in the public interest.

This building is a 2-storey, eaves-standing town house with a roof pitch of 30 ° (saddle roof) and brick roofing, built in the middle of the 19th century. It has 7 axes, with the third opening on the ground floor (from the left) being designed as a front door. The facade is plastered, with a square joint cut on the ground floor. It is separated from the upper floor by a continuous profiled cross band. A second transverse strip on the upper floor forms the outer window sill. There are two wrought-iron hand-made flag holders between these two cross bands. The windows on the upper floor are sprouted in the old style. New, double-sashed windows can be found on the ground floor. The square base is provided with a granular cement plaster. The windows are framed with profiled window walls and contrasted in color with the facade. On the upper floor, a garment is rounded at the lintel corners and provided with a concise rose window, which is located in the middle of the window. The rear of the building is drawn forward on the ground floor and has a semicircular bay on the left. On the upper floor, the cover is designed as a terrace. In the courtyard exit area there are some old Art Nouveau windows in their original condition.

At the rear there are partly heavily profiled plaster cornices. The original door frames are still standing inside the house. The staircase has pronounced entry posts. The corner formation between the wall and the ceiling is shown in a semicircular design. The original door leaves are still partially present on the upper floor. The roof structure is horizontal and has a new tile covering. Due to the aforementioned features, it follows that the preservation and use of the building for ethnological and urban planning reasons is in the public interest.

map
The residential and commercial building at Peterstr. 49 is a two-storey structure with a gable roof and tile roofing and was built around 1850.

The front of the house, which is built in on both sides, has 7/5 axes and consists of field fire brick masonry in a natural color. The decorative elements of the facade, here consisting of yellow clay tiles, are concisely represented. The 5-layer console cornice on display is particularly eye-catching. The windows, covered in segmental arches, were optically highlighted with the inclusion of yellow clay tiles. A 4-layer facade transverse strip (also two-tone) divides the front into the upper seven-axis and the lower five-axis facade surface. Inside the house, the original roof structure is worth mentioning, especially the 3-aisled basement with a barrel vault over the central axis and opposing Prussian capped ceilings over the two side cellars. The building existing here can be considered a town house and is, so to speak, a testimony to the changed self-confidence in the craftsmen of the time. The architecture used reflects the importance of the then view of representation and creative representation. This can be clearly seen and read from the facade design described above. Due to the good craftsmanship, the simple construction allowed its owner at the time to present itself to a certain extent. There is also relevance in terms of urban planning, since it is one of the few houses where the former line of alignment of Peterstraße can be traced. The importance of the house at Peterstraße 49 for the Alt-Willich district and the local history connected with it is recognizable and therefore indispensable. The prerequisites of § 2 DSchG NRW are thus fulfilled, so that a protection must be arranged.

It has diagonally arranged side towers on a square floor plan with wooden walls and a hooded roof. There are curved gables on the sides. The entrance porch has u. a. an old wooden door with carving and The year is provided. In the weathered sandstone coat of arms above the door there is the inscription "1619". The property as a whole (including the historical interior) meets the requirements that § 2 (1) DSchG NRW places on a monument. 1619 14 Mar 1983 3


Grossgoertzhof Grossgoertzhof Willich
Streithöfe 1
card
The courtyard in the Honschaft Streithöfe (Willich 1), known under the current name of Goertzhof (formerly Gursthof), dates back to the 16th century.

Due to an internal controversy within the family (probably regarding inheritance law), the property in its cultivated area of ​​then 55 hectares (= 220 acres) was divided into two equal, rounded-off large areas of 25 hectares each (= 100 acres) and several litter plots of 2 × 2.5 hectares each ( = 10 or 20 acres) divided between two claimants, whereby the smaller parcels mentioned were more or less arbitrarily determined in their current location. This division resulted in the name, which has not been legally fixed until today, in Groß- and Kleingoertzhof. While the courtyard as a whole still appeared as a Streuhof towards the end of the 18th century or the beginning of the 19th century, which is also evident from the mapping by the surveyors at the time, Tranchot and von Müffling, the newly created Goertzhof remained in its previous structure, whereas the so-called Großgoertzhof was built in 1827, and a new residential building has been added to its present-day square courtyard. Architectural design and use of materials correspond to the traditional Lower Rhine customs. The main house is on the eaves with 5 axes, whereby the middle axis on the ground floor is designed as a stone-framed front door. The eaves cornice and corner pilasters are concise. The servants' house attached to the left is also 5-axis and the roof layout is half a storey lower. Only the former stables on the left, which in part still has noticeable wall tiling, are relevant in terms of monument protection. Although the house has been built through in recent years, the basic concept of the old floor plan and the views have been preserved. This applies to all cellar ceilings (barrel vaults), segment-covered window, door and gate openings, as well as to the well-preserved roof trusses. In addition, the tree-lined access road (Canadian oaks, now approx. 50 years old) in front of the L 26 to the courtyard is to be included in the ensemble. For the reasons mentioned, it is necessary to place it under protection for reasons of settlement and local history.

Kleingoertzhof Kleingoertzhof Willich
Streithöfe 2
card
The Kleingoertzhof described here must historically be seen in close connection with the Großgoertzhof.

Due to a dispute within the family, the formerly contiguous property was divided into 2 equal and rounded-off large areas. This also included the rising buildings, which can still be seen today in their old form. The barns and stables are less relevant in terms of monument protection. On the other hand, due to its design, the residential building is still worth a monument, even today after some changes. This is what Cologne ceilings, old floor tiles, the original roof structure and its floor plan speak for. According to Tranchot and von Müffling (1806) the character of the original Streuhof is still recognizable in most parts to this day. For the reasons mentioned, the Kleingoertzhof is placed under monument protection in connection with the Großgoertzhof for reasons of settlement and local history.

Nauenhof Nauenhof Willich
Streithöfe 6
card
The Nauenhof (formerly also called Nouvenhof or Navenhof) is mentioned for the first time in the files of the cathedral provost court in Willich in 1692 and was considered an allodial property (Lehngut) at that time, but the actual origin is probably to be sought earlier.

In the geometric maps of the French. According to surveyor Tranchot (1820), this courtyard is shown as a multi-part system, with the house, stables and barn structurally independent of one another. Today the Nauenhof consists of a four-wing courtyard and is one of the largest square structures in the Viersen district in terms of its external dimensions. The entire completion to the present form takes place by 1872. The house has 5 axes, whereby the middle one is on the ground floor as a front door, connected with a gable with a branch in the area of ​​the tile-covered gable roof. The street facade is heavily structured with pilaster strips, cornices and ribbons, whereby the use of two different brick colors (yellow-brown) creates a strong conciseness. The same goes for the gable. They are raised in relation to the roof surface and provided with a pronounced arched frieze, additionally flanked by two turrets emerging from the corner pilasters. The two gable friezes are also merged to form a tower in the area of ​​the ridge point. The rear has 6 axes and is relatively unadorned. Window and door openings have segmented arch covers throughout the house and are also partly conspicuous by two different brick colors. In connection with the street facade (front garden area) some rare and exotic deciduous and coniferous trees are to be mentioned. Furthermore, there are exceptionally beautiful and expressive stucco ornaments, such as rosettes, cornices, inserts, consoles, etc. in the ground floor area of ​​the house and in connection with other expansion values, such as the storey staircase in a closed construction and the good craftsmanship of the entire woodwork with entry posts and fillers as well the front door, the interior doors, floor tiles, floor boards and half-height wall paneling within the residential building. The barns, stables and ancillary buildings are made of field fire brick masonry and also show pronounced cornices and friezes, especially on the gables, similar to the residential building, although the bricks are not two-colored. Striking on the gables of the aforementioned buildings are the triptychonically closed window structures (shown as niches) and the independent gable pane with roofing inside the courtyard, also with corner pilasters and smaller tower structures. Although some of the barns and stables have already been built inside, the courtyard as a whole can be considered a monumental ensemble and must therefore be placed under protection for reasons of local history and the history of the settlement, including the aforementioned trees in the area of ​​the front garden of the house.

Streithof Streithof Willich
Archery 7
card
This courtyard is located in its origins, towards the end of the 16th century, in the Streithoven district on the road connecting the former Willich parish to Osterath.

It was laid out in the form of a litter yard, see here also the mapping by Tranchot / Müffling 1806, and was only redesigned towards the end of the 19th century to its current three-sided closed form. The residential building consists of a half-timbered building with a tiled half-hip roof. The corpus is raised in several sections, whereby the struts, frames and posts are sometimes overdimensioned. Some of the above-mentioned construction parts are still well represented as decorative elements. The infills are bricked, plastered and whitewashed. The interior of the house was redesigned according to today's living needs, but the structure or construction of the stud work or the roof structure was neither destroyed nor destroyed in its substance. Inside, posts, frames, headbands and trusses have remained in their natural state in some cases. The relationship between the ground floor, outer half-timbered walls on the manor house and the deep, large-area roof shows what was typical of the Lower Rhine half-timbered house at the time. The barns and stables attached to the left, as well as the two free-standing courtyard buildings belonging to it, including a former slaughterhouse, are more recent and consist mainly of field fire brick masonry, a gable roof with brick roofing. Apart from the block cornices on display, they are relatively unadorned. Gate, door and window covers are straight, segmented or arched in the shape of a basket. In the area of ​​the former slaughterhouse, the mezzanine windows in six axes are particularly noticeable. In summary, it can be stated that the prescribed courtyard complex in its entirety as an ensemble has the necessary premise for protection and is therefore to be entered in the list of monuments for reasons of settlement and local history.

The farm was first mentioned in 1390 under its owner Hen in the soirde. Changed the farm name via Soirdt and Sürdt to its current name Sürder.

Today's courtyard was given the four-winged closed form in the second half of the 19th century, so that only the house, the rear barn and the front stables are relevant for the sheltering. The house is two-storey with 7 axes and a tiled gable roof or crooked hip roof. The brickwork consists of field fire bricks. The window and door openings are covered by segment arches and feature stone sills and walls. There are no elements to decorate the facade. The courtyard side is plastered and has already been changed. The stables and barn are also made of field fire bricks and have a tiled gable roof. The windows are in segmental arches, while the large gates and passageways are in basket arches. Decorative facade elements are also missing here. The dates 1872 and 1880 can be seen in the gate wedge stones. Although changes have been made within the residential building, the courtyard complex by and large forms, apart from the new agricultural wing on the right, a clearly recognizable ensemble and must therefore be protected for reasons of local history and the history of the settlement.

The Schiefbahn property, Tupsheide 19, is a courtyard complex with a six-axis, two-storey, eaves-facing residential building, which is solidly built in brick on the street side and still has half-timbered construction on the gable ends and on the rear wall. Stud work chamber, operating chamber, wooden beam ceiling and several baroque doors have been preserved. The internal disposition of the house appears undisturbed. The main parts of the outbuildings are still preserved in half-timbering. The facility was built at the end of the 18th century and the beginning of the 19th century. The front garden and the back kitchen garden have been preserved in their essential form. The complex is important for reasons of settlement history and local history.

Approx. 1770 created former kl. Homestead with well-preserved half-timbering. There are special monument conservation reasons, as the property (today used as a residential and restaurant building) is particularly characteristic of the district for the Unterbruch community. It is one of the last half-timbered houses in the old community of Schiefbahn. Particularly formative for the development of the local history. The recent restoration and repair work was discussed with the Rhenish Office for the Preservation of Monuments and the City of Willich (Lower Monument Authority) and approved as part of the building permit process.

Most of the four-wing courtyard complex shown here dates from the end of the 18th century and, in terms of its monumental substance, is composed as follows: (definition from the perspective of the interruption)

1.) Main building on the street as a residential building with left rear annex (stables 1a) and adjoining small toilet block (1b) including still intact dry-fall toilet. 2.) At the right gable of the main building adjoining gatehouse with open beams and a large gate opening. 3.) On the right of the gatehouse, there is a small low-storey car house. 4.) Then, going south, high-story former horse stable. 5.) This is followed by a high-storey barn wing made of half-timbered with white sludge. 6.) At the rear, southern property boundary, transverse single-storey building combination of coach house / stables / bakery with oven and smokehouse including half-sided basement. The outer and inner walls are mostly made of timber framing with field fire bricks. Individual wall parts are made from stud frames with wattle infill, including clay plaster or haylime mortar. The roofs are designed as saddle roofs, some with original oak wood constructions and old tile roofing. Inside the house, apart from Cologne ceilings, there are also various old panels in the individual rooms. Initially, this farm complex had primarily agricultural functions. However, since the through road at that time (Römerstraße) touched this courtyard, services such as overnight accommodation, meals, horse and car changes were offered for the passing travelers for a long time

The Schultheißenhaus was built in 1625. It is two-story in unbroken axes with a crooked hip roof. The plastered facade dates from around 1900. The entrance area has been partially changed. In 1919 the drawing room was extended to the rear of the building. Today the Schultheißenhaus is used as a residential and commercial building. This is one of the oldest houses in Anrath. The Schultheißenhaus is part of the historical development around the Anrather Kirchplatz and is located at the beginning of one of the 4 streets that lead from the town center to the neighboring towns. Due to its location, it shapes the floor plan of the historic center of Anrath.

Residential building Residential building Anrath
Viersener Strasse 22
map
It is a built-in, broad, eaves-standing building on the (Viersener) Straße leading south from Anrath, on the edge of the old town center near the former city walls. Two floors accompany the street above a high basement, closed off by a simple saddle roof without superstructures. A large two-armed flight of stairs with a cast-iron parapet and handrail, as well as a slightly blended decorative field in the base, leads to the house entrance, which is elevated above the street and pedestrian path. There is a large gate passage to the side, which suggests the agricultural origins of this property. Gate passage and house, in this arrangement and with regard to their basic substance, probably dating to the first half of the 19th century, today have a uniform plastered facade that was attached around 1900.

The plinth and ground floor show (partly square) plaster strips into which four rectangular ground floor window openings are simply cut. They are emphasized by ornamented wedge stones. The parapets of the upper floor windows are also adorned with tendrils and coats of arms. The windows themselves (like the entrance door) are accentuated by color-contrasting walls, the lintel is profiled as a simple horizontal roof. The two floors are separated from each other by a strong cornice, which is accompanied by a cornice on the upper floor. Together with the plaster strips underneath, the horizontal positioning of the building is additionally underlined. Windows and front door are modernly renewed. Above the front door is a wide wedge with a coat of arms, surrounded by a swan in front of a garland. The coat of arms shows an angled arm and a pig's head: according to the description by Eva Brües in the home book of the district of Viersen 1991, it is the coat of arms of the family (von) Dan (n) witz, which is widespread in the region. The interior still has the old room layout and a remarkable number of historical furnishings. Central corridor to the rear staircase, two large rooms to the right and left of the corridor facing the street, and the kitchen next to the stairs to the garden. Tiled floors in the hallway, as well as in the kitchen, wooden floorboards in the rooms. The door between the hallway and the stairwell has two leaves and a semicircular skylight. The doors and door leaves to the rooms are also old. In the hallway and in the rooms, quite elaborate stucco ceilings with throat, offset mirror (some with corner panels) and central rosette. Old double-track wooden staircase with a turning platform, with a closed parapet below, with baluster bars above; Remnants of painted wallpaper in the stairwell and in the transversely arranged upper floor corridor. Also on the upper floor is a large room with a stucco ceiling. The basement with shallow tubs between wide ridges has its own direct access from the side gate passage. The back of the house unplastered (brick with visible patches). Another building to the side in the garden (formerly a shed / stable), heavily changed, without monument value. The building at Viersener Str. 22 is a characteristic testimony of the rural-small-town residential building with agricultural use around 1800/1850, in a central location within the old town center of Anrath, in terms of its type of construction (two-storey, eaves-facing, lateral passage). In the representative decorative facade of the turn of the century, the adaptation to new standards of living culture with new representational needs is expressed. The high-quality interior will also come from this conversion. The building is therefore important for Willich. Since it has been preserved in a very clear way, with a remarkable amount of historical furnishing elements, especially on the inside, there is a public interest in its preservation and use for scientific, especially architectural-historical reasons. Local and socio-historical interests affect the house as (as evidenced by the house coat of arms) the former property of the well-known family (of) Dan (n) witz. As part of an area-defining, historically marked row of houses that accompanies the street, and as it gives the street space a striking historical accent with its large open staircase, there is also an urban planning interest in preservation and use. The building Viersener Str. 22 in (Willich-) Anrath is therefore a monument according to § 2 DSchG NRW.

The building was erected in 1913 by the Krefeld architects Girmes and Oedinger as a residential building for the already existing coffee roastery of the manufacturer Emil Lücker.

It has 5 axes, with an oval bay window that extends over two floors and, despite its rather powerful appearance, has an extremely functional character. The base zone consists of ashlar, above it an ornamentless, flat plaster facade, which is also functionally designed. The building itself has essentially retained its interior layout. Worth mentioning are the entrance area (natural stone), the storey stairs (wood) and the built-in furniture and wall panels on the ground floor. Another detail from the original era is the winter garden with its original green tiles and a fountain decorated with a lion's head, which is now disused. The Villa Lücker is an outstanding example of external, deliberately depicted barreness on the one hand, but on the other hand a successful composition of heaviness and darkness, the historicizing interior architecture of the time. For reasons of location and building history, it is necessary to place it under protection.

The roof is designed as a one-sided mansard hipped roof with tile and slate roofing. Strongly structured neo-baroque stucco forms for the windows, a multi-part cross-banding, a strongly formed cornice and square plastered surfaces show a pronounced stucco facade. The round and triangular roofs on the windows on the upper floor and in the attic floor are striking.

The entry of the facade in the list of monuments is in the public interest for reasons of local history and building history and is absolutely necessary.

The statue in Anrath-Vennheide is a simple peasant work that, according to tradition, was carved by a locksmith from Clörath. The saint has stood in his present place for almost 200 years in fulfillment of his pious promise in dire need (Joh. Nepomuk is a water well saint). This Heiligenstock first stood on stakes in the water of the Flöthbach. First, after the French. At that time (1784–1820) a wooden niche was built around the statue, which was replaced by a stone one in 1878. In 1920, however, this niche collapsed. After the new building of a stone wayside shrine, renovation was necessary in 1858. During a renewed renovation in 1971, the wayside shrine was provided with an iron grille.

Preservation and use of the Nepomuk Chapel are in the public interest for scientific and ethnological reasons.

One-storey part of the building with original shed roof, field fire brick facade, gate border to the hall flanked by pillars with truncated pillars led over the roof, with pyramidal cement roofing, cornices exhibited (use as a machine hall). During the construction of this building complex, it was possible to combine technical and engineering requirements and architectural urban design. Consistent use of field fire bricks in the form of rhythmic pilaster strips and friezes. Window coverings in round, segmental and straight shapes are the key elements of this construction method. In addition, it should be noted that this building complex must be seen in connection with the parts of the Kress company building behind it and thus, by and large, forms an ensemble that is worth preserving. In spite of its simplicity and relatively simple construction, this building complex is gaining importance as one of the last documents for such former manufacturing sites and can be seen today as an example of an industrial architecture that was previously common, but has now disappeared in its largely preserved original state. For this reason, this building is worth preserving for reasons of local and industrial history.

This agricultural property was built as a four-wing, closed courtyard complex in its current basic features around 1870, which is documented by dating in Torkeilstein.

Except for the main facade of the house, which is made of plaster, the facades consist entirely of field fire brick masonry with historicizing decorative elements in the area of ​​the cornices and tower roof overhangs. Otherwise, the facade surfaces in the courtyard and outside of the barns and stable buildings are relatively unadorned. The roofs are designed as saddle roofs with tile roofing. Window, door and gate openings are partly straight, partly covered in segments. The front main facade of the residential building (garden side) is 5-axis and is flanked on both sides by a 1-axis, square, structurally and stylistically highlighted tower. These two towers, each designed as an independent unit, have truncated pyramid roofs with slate-covered triangular ridges and flat tile roofing. Furthermore, an octagonal bell chamber with laminated sound holes and finally with a slate-covered onion roof. The windows in this part of the facade are highlighted with strong plaster structures and have partly straight, partly arched lintels, which in turn are covered with segment or arched roofing. An additional horizontal structure of the facade is also made visible by striking transverse changes. In the interior of the house, there are mainly various stucco rosettes and cornices on the ceilings, stoneware tile floors with a well-designed color and visual appearance, as well as the staircase with well-crafted handrails, entry posts and crooks. For reasons of local history and the history of the settlement, this courtyard must be placed under protection.

The traffic island on which it stands belongs to the closer appearance, which is inextricably linked with the wayside chapel. One of the original two linden trees that stood to the right and left of the chapel is still preserved today. Conservation and use are in the public interest for ethnological reasons.

Lautenhof Lautenhof Schiefbahn
Wilhelm-Hörmes-Strasse 33
map
The property is a four-wing courtyard, built in 1868 with a two-storey house with 3: 5 axes and high-storey stable and barn buildings. The building fabric, which is still well preserved today, consists of field fire brick masonry with tiled hipped and gable roofs. Towards the end of the 19th century, a single-storey residential part with 6 axes (one of which is a blind axis) was added to the left gable side of the house, although some of it is still in its original condition today. Inside the house there are partly still old natural stone tiles and especially on the ground floor there are old panel doors from that time. The wooden staircase leading to the upper floor is likely to date from the end of the 19th century. The main courtyard gate is covered with wicker arches, flanked with brick pilasters on the side, which in turn are provided with small tin crowns as the upper end. Between these pilasters there is a gable roof with strongly pronounced verge cornices and an underlying, exposed transverse band. The archway has a natural stone abutment and a keystone dated 1868, also made of natural stone material. Apart from the strongly structured verges and transverse changes in the residential building area and a natural stone wall on the front door, the other facade areas are relatively unadorned.

A sandstone path with a date of 1753 and a smaller niche without a grid belongs to this courtyard. There is also a separate, simple memorial cross made of artificial stone (decorative concrete), which is intended to remind of the altruistic behavior of the then 26-year-old Wilhelm Hörmes in the middle of the last century. The Lautenhof dates back to 1400 and was the first owner of: Willemgen to the Hoirren. From 1670 Henrich Lauten took over the property, which was then named "Lautenhof". For reasons of settlement and local history, this courtyard complex, including a path and memorial cross, must be placed under protection.

card
The "Hülsdonker Hof" is an old farm complex. A stone in the driveway is dated to 1726. It is a closed, four-winged brick courtyard. The house is a two-storey corner building in 7: 1 axes. Its windows and door are partially changed. The barn wings of the courtyard are partly modernized. This is the farm yard of the former water-defended knight's seat Haus Hülsdonk . Preservation and use of the “Hülsdonker Hof” are in the public interest for scientific, folkloric and urban history reasons. 1726 0Nov 8, 1911 30th


Löhrhof Löhrhof Willich
Zum Löhrhof 1 + 1a
card
This is a formerly contiguous, four-winged courtyard, the origin of which goes back at least to the 16th century.

Only the house with attached large stables and the free-standing coach house barn are of relevance. All three buildings consist for the most part of half-timbering, external infill with field fire brick masonry, inner infill, however, with wickerwork and haylime mortar covering. Roof trusses and joists are heavy and in their original condition. Only a small part of the original cover is available. Determined by the half-timbered structure, the window openings on the house, the coach house and some of the stables are completely covered. Only the large stall entrance has a raised segment arch. Window axes are nowhere through. The outer facade surfaces are provided with plaster in the compartments. Only the side walls and the gable front of the stable are preserved in brick structure. The year 1712 is notched on a wooden sleeper in the gable area of ​​the house; in contrast, several hand-forged gable anchors in their original design are still present in the gable area of ​​the stable building. Although the condition of the above-mentioned parts of the building can no longer be described as good, they must be placed under protection in view of further deterioration and for reasons of local and settlement history.

History:

(Information from the Willich City Archives and the owner's collection of materials, based on the book by L. Hügen, see Lit.Verz.) According to Ludwig Hügen, the Straterhof is "one of the oldest courtyards in the Niederheide." As early as 1330, a Henricus de Via was built called, who had to pay taxes to the Neersener Vogt. When it was sold to Gerhard Horst in 1551, the farm was called "Alingesgut". Jacob Germes therefore suspects that it was a noble estate, but this cannot be proven. In 1650 an owner of the farm established a poor foundation in Anrath, which was paid for by selling a meadow. 10 years later the farm at Gladbach is subject to Kurmud. Owner: Henrikus de Via (1330), Lentz uff der Strasse (1500), Wilhelm von Calchem, Gerhard Horst (1551), Gört Düvels (1551), Derich uff der Straaten (1650), Anton Fucken (1812), Karl Fucken ( 1965), Josef Waaden (1994).

Description:

It is a four-sided enclosed courtyard complex made of brick in shapes and materials typical of the landscape. The barn and stable buildings, which have largely closed wall and roof surfaces and only minor decorative shapes (friezes on the field-side eaves and verge line), apparently come predominantly from the late 19th / early 20th century. The wooden scaffolding has been preserved in the barn, but some parts are missing or patched. Typical ceilings can be seen in the stables. The residential building, which stands at right angles to the line of the farm buildings and partially protrudes beyond their line, is essentially an older residential stable. Its roof is towed low on both sides of the eaves and has very small crooked hips on the gables. The gable facing the courtyard has a gate entrance, the living area is accessed from the courtyard-side eaves. The window openings should all sit in the old place, they are closed with flat segmental arch walls. The outward-facing eaves side was subsequently rebuilt, and the roof above it was slightly raised. Both gable sides show Dutch triangles on the verges. The inner framework is apparently preserved inside. The traditional spatial structure is also remarkable. Through the entrance on the eaves side (with a front door from the 19th century) and the back side you enter a large central kitchen area, around which small chambers are arranged towards the gable on the field side and on the sides. In the northeast corner of the house (field side) there is an op camera with a basement below, which can also be read from the outside through its exposure openings in the base. In front of the staircase leading to the Opkamer, there is also a winding wooden staircase in the kitchen, which, like the decorative tiles in the kitchen, dates from the end of the 19th century. The part of the house facing the courtyard is preserved as a large, undivided space for economic use (stable, storage), which results in the characteristic division of the residential stable house into two parts. This division is also continued on the upper floor, where chambers (some with Cologne ceilings) are only arranged above the living area.

Rating:

An exact dating of the stable house as the oldest structural part of the courtyard is difficult, especially since some later changes (raising and re-facing one side of the eaves) somewhat confuse the original structure. Characteristic structural features such as the type of the residential stable house itself, the half-timbered construction with high, curved struts and overlapping, the Dutch triangles or the room floor plan with a central kitchen and an open-plan room suggest that it was built in the 18th century, but is still in the first half 19th century conceivable. The latter, in turn, could be indicated by the access on the eaves and the small crooked whales. The keystone of the gate with the year "1838" could also fit in with this, because the farm buildings are clearly of a more recent date. However, the representation on the Tranchot map (1804/05), where a building with the same orientation is already recorded at this point, with another free-standing building around the site of today's barn, speaks for an origin of the residential stable house in the 18th century. In addition, a moat surrounds the courtyard to the south and west on the map, which may still live in the depression that is visible there today. With its history that can be traced back to the 14th century, which makes it one of the oldest farms in the Niederheide district, the Straterhof is important for Willich. The typical development from the original stable house to the closed four-sided complex of the late 19th / early 20th century is clearly preserved here. The preserved, characteristic spatial structure of the former stable house, described above, is to be emphasized, which make it a testimony to earlier rural living and working, which has become rare today. Subsequent changes to the building fabric are classified as minor. Therefore, there is a public interest in the preservation and use of the courtyard for scientific, here architectural and historical reasons. Because of its character that has shaped the cultural landscape as early as 1999, the urban planning reasons mentioned in the Monument Protection Act are added. It is therefore a monument according to § 2 DSchG NRW.
