New development

Komturstrasse
Antique museum in Schnoor

On both sides of Marterburg north of Kolpingstrasse with a connection to the parallel Komturstrasse and on both sides of Kolpingstrasse between the two streets, residential and commercial buildings were built in the 1980s and 1990s based on designs by the architects Wolfram Goldapp and Thomas Klumpp . The antique museum in Schnoor was also located here.

The houses are similar in their structure: on the ground floor shops, offices and partly apartments, on the upper floors apartments with access via external stairs, balconies, roof gardens. The exterior design created a group of very individual buildings. The post-modern design with multi-colored facades and playful details is controversial.

legend

According to a legend noted by Friedrich Wagenfeld , the name Marterburg comes from an incident at the beginning of the tenth century: an attacking horde had penetrated the city and was pushed into the narrow street while fleeing. There they were doused with boiling oil and water from the windows of the houses, "so that they had to die a miserable, torturous death."
