Munketoft pen

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

background

In 1858 the first building in the complex was constructed by the architect Laurits Albert Winstrup . The building was intended to replace poor houses built by the merchant families Thor Smeden and Vake in 1595/96 at the monastery on Rote Straße , which had to give way to an extension of the Latin school in 1856 . The newly constructed yellow brick building was initially given the address Munktetoft 1, later the address Niedermai 3. Subsequently, in 1860, the rear building, Niedermai 5, was built in the form of a single-storey, grouted brick building. In 1869, the yellow brick building Munketoft 2, today Niedermai 1, was built. The building replaced a monastery for the poor in the suburbs of St. Johannis , which was set up in the 16th century according to the legacy of the merchant Hans Kellinghusen . The said newly built poor house of the church foundation Armenbede von St. Johannis und St. Nikolai was also built as a yellow brick building. In 1904 the last building of the Munketoftstift was built by master bricklayer Jacob August Bandholz in Niedermai 7. This building replaced dilapidated old people's apartments on Waitzstrasse . The wide main road connection on the piped Mühlenstrom as well as the neighboring Deutsches Haus were not built until later.
