The residential building Michelsberg 25 in Bamberg was built in 1717/18 or a little later in the area of ​​immunity of the St. Michael monastery and was managed under the house number 1828 until 1878. It is registered under the file number D-5-77-177-356 as an architectural monument in the Bavarian monument list.

Building history

The property can be traced back to 1433. A Margarethe Krachzelgin appears as the owner in the land register. Before that, it should have belonged to a Herrmann Pfister. Together with the properties Michelsberg 23, Storchsgasse 5 and Storchsgasse 9, it was acquired in 1575 by the secretaries of Canon Johann Fuchs von Bimbach for his sons Hans Sixtus and Lorenz and remained in their possession until 1601. In 1692 Sebastian Hermann bought the back of the house. The cabinet- maker Servatius Brickhard , who had supplied large parts of the high-quality carvings to the St. Michael monastery church , appeared in 1706 as a co-owner of the property and became sole owner through purchase in 1713. In December 1716 and June 1717 he asked the monastery chancellery to provide logs for the construction of a new building. Today's building was erected in 1717/18 or a little later. After Brickhard's death, the house became the property of the monastery. The imperial knight Stephan von Renauld lived in the house with his family while he was a syndic and feudal judge for the monastery. In the course of secularization , he probably acquired the property. In connection with a house fire, he is mentioned as the owner of house No. 1828. After his death, his widow, Court Councilor Maria Apollonia von Renauld sold it in 1822. After that, the property changed hands frequently. At the beginning of the 1840s, the palace gardener from Aschbach , Karl Grimm, bought it and founded an art gardening business here. On the south-eastern boundary of the property, he had a glass house built that could be heated with flue gas. In 1905, instead of a burned-down barn and the art gardening's glass houses, a rear building with a partial basement and a pent roof was built, which still exists today.

Building description

The two-storey plastered building stands on a basement level that balances the slope. The eaves gable roof is covered with segment beaver tails. The seven-axis facade on the street side is framed by grooved corner pilaster strips and subdivided by cornices . The windows on both floors are drawn together to form window strips by parapet and lintel plates with recessed play. The main entrance is in the middle of the facade and can be reached via a four-step staircase. A segment-arched skylight is located above the richly profiled lintel. The center window on the upper floor is framed by two sculptural sculptures of the holy imperial couple Heinrich II and Kunigunde of Luxembourg .
