The sailor station Kongsnæs ( Norwegian : konge "king", næs "headland") in Potsdam , Schwanenallee 7, is a former docking station for the watercraft of the Prussian royal family, which were used for pleasure trips on the Havel . The property is located on Jungfernsee , in the north of the Berlin suburb , between the New Garden and the Glienicker Bridge . On behalf of Wilhelm II , an ensemble of buildings in the Norwegian dragon style with a reception pavilion, the so-called Ventehalle, boat shed and three residential houses for the service personnel was built between 1891 and 1895 according to plans by the architect Holm Hansen Munthe .

After the First World War, Kongsnæs remained in the possession of the Hohenzollern family and was leased to the “ Imperial Yacht Club ” (KYC) in Kiel. At the end of the Second World War, the reception hall, the long shed for the imperial steam yacht "Alexandria" and a free-standing archway burned down. Of the historic complex, which is now a listed building, only the hall foundations, the bastion-like embankment wall and the inland residential buildings have been preserved. The bank barrier created along Schwanenallee when the Berlin Wall was erected divided the property into two halves, so that the lake-side area was no longer accessible to the public for decades. Only the houses were still used for residential purposes.

After the political change in 1989/90, the “Förderverein Kongsnæs e. V. ”for the reconstruction and renovation of the existing buildings. At the beginning of 2009, the Berlin jewelery dealer Michael Linckersdorff acquired the property from the city of Potsdam with the aim of renovating the three remaining buildings in accordance with the listed buildings, rebuilding the Kongsnæs reception hall, restoring the port facility and, in addition to all of this, largely maintaining the public accessibility of the site . A restaurant has been operated there since the rebuilt Ventehalle opened.

history

prehistory

The use of the property as a landing stage for the royal and later imperial boats was closely related to the Pfaueninsel, a few kilometers to the northeast . Friedrich Wilhelm II. And subsequently his son Friedrich Wilhelm III. had the island designed architecturally and in terms of garden art for enjoyable stays. Boats and covered gondolas were available for trips on the Havel. After the Wars of Liberation , other watercraft were added when Friedrich Wilhelm III. Was given a three-masted ship in 1814 by King George IV of England . When the three-master became unsuitable for water in the course of time, it received a scaled-down replica of a frigate from his successor Wilhelm IV. In 1832 , which was named "Royal Louise" in memory of the Prussian Queen Luise, who died in 1810 . Both ships were berthed on Pfaueninsel and spent the winter in a frigate shed built on the south side in 1833. The overland route from Potsdam to the Pfaueninsel was time-consuming. Equally complex was the request for the boats, which were ordered by the groom if required and had to be brought from the island by water to the city ​​palace , the marble palace or the dairy in the New Garden .

The Craatzsche property

To enable faster use of watercraft, acquired Friedrich Wilhelm IV. After his accession the erbteilungshalber for sale estate of the late Joachim Müller Gustav Craatz who had operated a wood cutting with windmill and Ross work. On July 1, 1841, the garden director Peter Joseph Lenné completed the purchase.

On the property, which was over two acres in size and inland on the "Chaussee after the Schwanenbrücke", today's Schwanenallee, stood the one-story, massive mill house No. 7 with an extension of wood and half-timbered houses, a newly built house on the left gable of this house, a wooden and half-timbered shed with a horse and horse stables in it, a wooden and half-timbered horse and pig sty with access, a small poultry house, a pipe well, a 95 ½ garden with fruit trees and vines next to the residential buildings Square rods , a piece of land with an area of ​​40 square rods. The value of the property was 4072 th. , 5 Sgr . The windmill had burned down before the property was bought in the 1830s and the octagonal mill stump was integrated into the newly built house.

The existing building situation remained after the sale to the king. In 1842 only accommodation rooms were prepared in the house for the pioneers , who were assigned to serve the "Royal Louise" in the strength of one non-commissioned officer and six commons . The frigate and other boats of the yard were berthed on the former Craatzschen property in the summer months , but had to be brought back to the Pfaueninsel in autumn because there was no possibility for wintering. When the first sailors of the Royal Prussian Navy arrived in April 1850 to operate the boats, the name “sailor station” gradually gained acceptance.

First plans for a new system

In the course of the landscaping by Peter Joseph Lenné, which also included buildings on the banks of the Havel or on connecting paths between the royal gardens, Friedrich Wilhelm IV wanted the sailors' station to have representative architecture. According to the king's specifications, the architect Ludwig Ferdinand Hesse presented a “draft for the reconstruction of the sailor station at the New Garden” in 1847. Taking into account the existing buildings and other small extensions, Hesse designed a staggered assembly in the Italian style. On the octagonal floor plan of the burnt down mill, a three-story tower formed the core of the building complex. However, Hesse's proposal was not implemented. A design made by Friedrich August Stüler in 1857 , on which a similar-looking tower, like a hinge, connected two adjacent residential buildings at right angles, was not implemented either.

Wilhelm II did not resume the building project until three decades later. Hofbaurat Franz Haeberlin submitted drafts in June and July 1888, of which the "Draft for a landing place for the Königl: Boats at the sailor station at the New Garden" shows a 9-axis reception pavilion with flanking arcades and boat sheds on the lake-side property. The English Gothic forms served as an architectural model , as they have been more common in residential buildings in the Potsdam suburbs since the construction of Babelsberg Palace . On the draft “Project for a landing site for the Königl: Watercraft at the sailor station at the Neuer Garten”, which was made in June, residential buildings for the operating personnel are drawn on the land inland. But these drafts were also rejected again.

New construction of the sailor station under Wilhelm II.

Ultimately, Wilhelm II decided on the historicizing style of Norwegian architecture. It thus corresponded to a zeitgeist of the late 19th century, in which Scandinavian art and culture was enthusiastically received in German-speaking countries. The friendship with Norway resulted not least in the annual trips to the north of Wilhelm II, which he undertook from 1889 to 1914 with the state yacht Hohenzollern, mainly in the Norwegian fjords. The Norwegian architect Holm Hansen Munthe , who trained at the Hanover Polytechnic and whose work Wilhelm II had already got to know in Norway, was commissioned to build a new sailor station .

For Potsdam, Munthe designed an ensemble of buildings that resembled Haeberlin's plans. The main building of the reception pavilion, the “Ventehalle”, was built on the lake-side property in 1891/92. A year later, a long shed for the imperial steamship "Alexandria" and a gig shed were built to the north-west of it , and the bank immediately adjacent to the reception hall was fortified with cyclops masonry made of field stones . In the middle, steps led into the water and at the ends, battlements made of sandstone gave the quay wall a defensive character. In the small bay to the southeast, the boats moored there were accessible via a footbridge with wooden stairs. Next to a pinasse shed stood six guns, from which salutes were shot on special occasions.

Between 1893 and 1895, Munthe had a U-shaped residential complex built for the operating personnel on the inland property: in the northwest the boathouse with boat shed and the machinist's apartment, in the southwest a barracks to accommodate the sailors and in the southeast the service and residence of the Station manager and captain Carl Velten (1849–1925). As the successor to his father-in-law, Captain Zwanziger , Velten, who came from Bonn, held this position for almost fifty years, from April 2, 1876 to the end of his life, and in 1906 was given the honorary title of "Imperial Yacht Captain" by Wilhelm II.

The simple outdoor area was probably designed by court gardener Theodor II. Nietner , who was responsible for the New Garden and the Potsdam city district from 1878 to 1893. Designed as a right of way, a path ran through the entrance gate on the left in front of the reception hall in an arch past the hall. Paths led from him to the shed, the gun salute and to the bank. For the inland plot of land, Nietner planned a garden with a circumferential, U-shaped path within the courtyard and had the entire area planted with birch and conifers.

After completion, the sailor station was given the Norwegian name Kongsnæs by Wilhelm II in 1896 , which means something like "the king's headland". The name was probably based on the location of the Norsk Folkemuseum on the Bygdøy peninsula in the Oslofjord . In the open-air museum, the King of Sweden and Norway, Oskar II , had wooden houses in danger of decay that had been collected from all over Norway since 1881. An existing archway was built in a similar form at the sailor station and adorned with the name KONGSNÆS .

The sailor station at Kongsnæs served as berth for smaller boats and was the home port for the miniature frigate Royal Louise and the screw steam yacht Alexandria , launched in 1887 and on which Captain Velten was in command. These watercraft, known at the time as “toy yachts”, “pleasure ships” and “salon steamers”, were used by the imperial family for pleasure and representation trips on the Havel and Spree to the Berlin Palace . The offspring of naval officers also received practical instruction in rigging and un rigging on the frigate, and the princes had been seamanship since Wilhelm II was a child, and competed in sports with the smaller boats. The Kaiser remained connected to water sports and has been sailing regularly with the "Alexandria" since 1894 from Kongsnæs to Grünau to open the rowing regatta and to present the "Kaiserpreis".

In addition, the physicist Adolf Slaby and his assistant Georg Graf von Arco carried out experiments here in the summer of 1897 to perfect Marconi's wireless telegraphy . Supported by the crews of the sailor station, after almost two months of research, the signal was transmitted from the campanile 1.6 kilometers away in Sacrow Church to the reception pavilion on August 27th . A memorial plaque on the bell tower, on which the first German antenna system for wireless telegraphy was erected, commemorates this success.

After the First World War and the end of the monarchy, the new government confiscated the property of the House of Hohenzollern , which ended the original purpose of Kongsnæs as a landing stage for the imperial pleasure ships. In 1919 the ship park included the “Royal Louise” with dinghy, the “Alexandria” with dinghy, the rowing boats “Arkona” and “Wherry”, a quadruple and double, the Turkish Kaik I and II, a kayak , the rowing boat of the “Military -Swimmanstalt ", a tug boat , a work boat and a scouring pram . These ships were soon scattered to the winds . The "Royal Louise" was handed over to the Berlin "Verein Seglerhaus am Wannsee" (VSaW) in 1921 and the steamship "Alexandria" was sold in 1923 to a Viennese shipping company.

After the law on the property dispute between the Prussian state and the members of the former ruling Prussian royal family was passed in October 1926, the Kongsnæs sailor station remained in the possession of the former royal family. The buildings on the landside property were rented as living space. The reception pavilion, the boat shed and the waterfront have been used by the 300 or so members of the “ Imperial Yacht Club ” (KYC) in Kiel, who lived in and around Berlin and Potsdam, as well as various water sports clubs whose sailing yachts required the construction of new jetties.

In 1924 the association made minor changes to the buildings, had a drainage system built and planned a larger extension in 1929. The reception pavilion was to be expanded on the northwest side to include a club room with a catering area, toilets, a kitchen and side rooms. The commissioned Berlin architecture firm Karl Kujath designed a one-story extension in timber construction. For the part of the building adjacent to the pavilion, in which the club room was to be housed, continuous glazing with lattice windows was planned, which protruded at right angles from the building line on the lake side. An analogous extension on the southeast side was rejected again. The kitchen area should be adjacent to the club room. Small window openings and a steep gable roof with the chimney were planned for this part of the building. The draft was never implemented in this form. Instead, the Potsdam carpentry and joinery Hartmann built in 1930 a much simpler extension in post-and-beam construction .

destruction

At the end of the Second World War, the property was severely damaged when the buildings facing the lake caught fire, presumably from artillery, during the fighting . The reception pavilion, the long shed and the archway burned down, the inland residential buildings remained largely intact. The remains of the ruins were probably removed in 1961 when the Berlin Wall was built. The border system between West Berlin and Potsdam led along Schwanenallee and cut through Kongsnæs, which meant that access to the separate lake-side property area was no longer possible until the turn of 1989.

reconstruction

After reunification , the "German-Norwegian Friendship Society e. V. ”(DNF) established the“ Kongsnæs Project Group ”in April 1996, from which the independent“ Förderverein Kongsnæs e. V. ”emerged. The association set itself the goal of renovating the ensemble of buildings and rebuilding the Ventehalle, and achieved that the property with the residential buildings and the remaining structural remains, including the foundations of the reception hall and the quay wall, were listed as a historical monument. Since 1990 Kongsnæs has been under the protection of UNESCO as part of the world cultural heritage "Potsdam Cultural Landscape" . Just one year later, in September 2000, the reconstruction of the archway, made by a Norwegian carpentry from Kaupanger on the Sognefjord , was erected.

In September 2006, the city of Potsdam put the approx. 8,000 m 2 plot of land with the three existing houses, the total usable area of ​​which is approx. 990 m 2 , up for sale for the first time. The buyer is expected to renovate the houses and restore the Ventehalle and the port facility. In addition, the ensemble of buildings is to be used in such a way that it does justice to the sensitive area in the UNESCO World Heritage Site and public accessibility . Although prospective buyers tried to acquire the property, the tender was ended at the end of March 2008 with no result and a new tender was announced. The city justified this step with other interesting content-related offers and new usage concepts received by the state capital. At the beginning of 2009, the Berlin jewelry dealer Michael Linckersdorff was awarded the contract.

On September 11, 2010, the foundation stone was laid for the reconstruction of the former Ventehalle reception pavilion, which a Gdańsk timber construction company was commissioned with. The investor plans to use it as a café restaurant with 60 seats inside, 32 seats on the glazed veranda and 30 outdoor seats on the bastions on the bank. A single-storey functional building, which is connected to the pavilion by a glass corridor, houses the kitchen, toilet facilities, warehouse and building services. The former house of the station manager, or the captain's house, the sailors' barracks and the boathouse are still intended for residential purposes. A boat dealer will also set up office space for historic yachts and replicas in the captain's house.

The usage concept led to conflicts with the neighbors, who feared noise pollution and increased traffic in Schwanenallee due to the use of restaurants and the size of the port facility. A beer garden, an underground car park and a meeting place for local clubs in the boathouse designed for a maximum of 110 participants were discarded. On the revised plans, Linckersdorff had the port facility originally planned with 110 boat berths on a jetty with a length of 32 m [for charter and passenger ships] as well as the surrounding jetty in the harbor, which protrudes with its jetty finger of 10 m into the Jungfernsee and a maximum of 30 mostly historic sailing yachts absorb is reduced. The building permit to rebuild the Imperial Sailor Station was granted in January 2014 after the city withdrew an earlier one from 2010 due to legal uncertainties following an administrative court action. In April 2018 the rebuilt Ventehalle was inaugurated. The replica of the miniature frigate “Royal Louise”, completed in 1998, is to have its home port at Kongsnæs, just like the original that was scrapped in 1947.

architecture

In the course of the Norwegian striving for independence and the associated process of finding cultural identity , a return to historical timber construction methods developed in the architectural design language , which began in the rural architectural style of Switzerland. After the architect Hans Ditlev Franciscus von Linstow had the wooden guard building built in the Swiss style next to the Royal Palace in Oslo in 1839 , the Alpine chalet construction type spread across the whole country. Towards the end of the 19th century and Norwegian national romanticism, the so-called dragon style developed from the Swiss style, which contained decorative elements from Viking art, which can also be found on medieval stave churches .

Holm Hansen Munthe was at the forefront of the Renaissance movement in Norwegian architecture [...], which again referred to the shape of the horizontal block building and the vertical construction of the stave churches as well as their painterly formation through gables, vestibules and richly carved columns, beams and other ornamentation [... ]. The Holmenkollen Tourist Hotel, built in 1889 on the Holmenkollen near Christiania, and the Frognerseteren restaurant, completed in 1891, as well as a restaurant built in the same year and burnt down in 1936 in today's Oslo district of St. Hanshaugen, were built in dragon style based on Munthe's designs . During the construction work on the Potsdam sailor station, he also built the imperial hunting lodge in 1891 on behalf of Wilhelm II and in 1893 the stave church "Hubertuskapelle" in Rominten in East Prussia, today's Krasnolessje .

As a counterpart to the Kongsnæs sailor station, the no longer preserved “Imperial Pier” was built in Spandau at the same time . The Berlin architect Johannes Lange designed a canopy richly decorated with Nordic motifs and dragon heads over a right-angled staircase that connected the landing stage with the railway. In contrast, the wooden church on the south-west cemetery in Stahnsdorf , which was completed in 1911 and designed by the architect Gustav Werner based on the example of Norwegian stave churches, is still preserved today.

Reception building - Ventehalle

Munthe designed the entrance hall, built in dragon style in 1891/92, based on the model of the St. Hanshaugen restaurant. He had the wooden parts prefabricated in Norway and put together by Norwegian carpenters in Potsdam. The planned location directly on the bank initially required a foundation on piling and a massive substructure on top of it , before the 8.10 meter wide and 13.20 meter long building with a ridge height of around 8 meters could be erected using the stud construction method. A covered veranda running along the lake and both gable sides interrupted Munthe on each side of the building by a total of four entrance areas, which he emphasized with narrow, pointed gable roofs . The pavilion received decorative elements from carved columns that supported the pent roof of the veranda, decorative boards on the gable edges and openwork ridge or roof ridges running along the ridge lines with stylized dragon heads at the ends. The outer building and some structural parts in the interior were painted red-brown.

Inside the building there was only a large hall, open to the roof cladding, and toilet facilities. Through window openings in the lower area and multiple coupled clover-leaf arch windows in the upper wall zone, light fell into the hall, which was simply furnished with tables, chairs and chandeliers made in Norway. A wooden bench ran along the walls and closed off the doors with high cheeks adorned with volutes . The Baugewerks-Zeitung wrote on August 27, 1892 about the decorations carried out by Norwegian painters on the walls clad with wooden panels : The individual wooden decorations nestle against the structure of the wood and the rosettes notched on pillars and other wooden surfaces have a particularly simple, but effect matching patterns. [...] The wood above the panel is painted in a very light color, while the higher areas are painted with curtains that show simple patterns of embroidery in brown. A continuous frieze stretches under the rafters , which is made up of entanglements of animals from the Nordic legends and is executed in simple colors. Above that there is a palmette decoration in brown color [...] instead of the roofs over the doors, so-called decorative boards are stretched out, which rest in console boards and are designed as dragon heads.

Boathouse

The boathouse, built on a rectangular floor plan in 1893, was the first of the three inland wooden houses. It was built with the long side parallel to the street and accommodated the workshop rooms on the right side and the heating and boiler room on the left, as well as a lounge with a corner veranda, from which stairs led to the courtyard. The machinist's or workshop manager's living quarters were on the top floor. In the middle of the building a shoulder- arch framed passage opened through which boats could be brought over a ramp to the asymmetrically attached boat shed behind. As an extension of the shed, there was a small extension with a toilet facility.

Barracks for the sailors

A year later, the accommodation building for the sailors was built in the middle of the ensemble. The house, also built on a rectangular floor plan, could be entered on both gable sides. The adjoining corridor, which ran in an axis through the middle of the building, was bordered by the dining room facing the courtyard, a small sideboard and the stairs to the attic, the kitchen, a small pantry and a rolling chamber . At the back of the house there were two dormitories for the sailors and the NCO's room . Further chambers were available in the attic, which were illuminated through windows on the gable ends as well as triangular central dormers and flanking smaller dormers . Outside, the NCO used a small corner veranda on the south-east side, which was directly adjacent to his room, and the sailors used a veranda on the north-west side, which extended over the entire width of the house.

Station manager's house

Following the hierarchy, the station manager's house, or “captain's house”, was designed more generously. The partially basement building was built in 1895 on a cross-shaped floor plan. Adjacent to this was an extension to the south-west, which accommodated the toilet, laundry room and a rolling chamber. The entrance to the house was on the courtyard side. The station manager's office, which was oriented towards Schwanenallee, was accessible from a hallway, and its window gave a view of the buildings on the lake side. On the courtyard side, a veranda was presented to the duty room, which was symmetrically repeated on the opposite side of the house and served private use. The corridor, which continued at a right angle, opened up the private rooms and the house kitchen as well as the court kitchen and the pantry for supplying the sailors. The bedrooms, chambers and the bathroom in the attic were accessible via a staircase in the rear of the house. Loggias were available to the residents on the gables on the courtyard and street side .

Construction of residential houses

The wooden parts of the single-storey houses were prefabricated in Strømmen, about 20 kilometers east of Oslo, and built on fieldstone plinths by Norwegian carpenters in Potsdam. Wooden steps in front of the building provided direct access to the house or the verandas. The load-bearing element of the building consists of a skeleton of floor-to- ceiling wooden stems , on which horizontal board layers on the ground floor and vertical board layers in a tongue and groove connection form the outer skin. The more elaborately processed boards on the station manager's house are planed and on the sailor barracks and the boathouse are made of simple slabs . The beam heads of the ceiling beams protrude so that the top floor zone protrudes slightly. The gable roofs rest on knee sticks , which increases the usable area of ​​the attic. Dormers loosen up the roof surfaces and provide room lighting. The construction principle corresponds to the Nordic construction method propagated at the time. It shows a resumption of Norwegian wooden architecture in its basic form, in particular in the alternation of horizontal and vertical structure between the ground floor and upper floor or attic, as well as the use of typical decorative elements such as the dragon's heads, and at the same time the translation into a more contemporary construction. From the original log house, a wooden skeleton with imitating cladding has emerged, which marks the beginnings of modern prefabrication .

The roof ridges originally running along the roofs and dormers with intertwined animal carcasses and floral decorations at their ends were removed during the later conversion for rental purposes. The formerly open loggias and verandas were closed by vertical board layers and made usable as living space, the passage of the boathouse was bricked up and the rear boat shed was converted.

Inside, the wooden skeleton was also clad with vertically attached board layers in a tongue and groove connection and only the chimneys and short wall areas were bricked up. The floors of the rooms were covered with wooden floorboards and the corridors were laid with diamond-shaped tiles. Wooden cladding framed the windows and doors, the door leaves of which decoratively adorned the ship's throat. The shape of the baluster-shaped boards was repeated on the banisters, as they delimited the verandas and loggias. After the conversion, the stairs, railings and many doors were preserved.

According to this construction principle, further wooden houses were built in the area from 1891; among others in Lehnitz near Oranienburg , Stolpe near Hennigsdorf and Waidmannslust near Tegel . Then the "Wolgaster Actien-Gesellschaft für Holzverarbeitung", later "Wolgaster Holzindustrie AG" refined this construction method and built prefabricated wooden houses in Berlin and Neubabelsberg according to the designs of Johannes Lange for high demand.
