The Nebbiensche garden house is a classical pavilion in the Bockenheimer plant in Frankfurt am Main . It is a cultural monument .

history

The garden house was probably built in 1810 by the architect Nicolas Alexandre Salins de Montfort for the publisher Marcus Johann Nebbien on the occasion of his third wedding. In 1807 he had bought the property Hochstrasse 10-22 (at that time Hohe Strasse) and later had a house built on property 18; the pavilion closed off the property to the north. The garden house was expanded after 1840 by the two side wings, the central building has a cellar. Due to the Wall Service , which is still valid today , the gardens that were created on the site of the former Frankfurt city fortifications were not allowed to be built on; only small garden houses were allowed.

After Nebbien's death, the garden house came into the possession of the banker Philipp Bernhard Andreae , who sold it to the Prussian military treasury in 1867 after the annexation of the Free City of Frankfurt . The Prussian army used the garden house at times as a muster room for the Frankfurt recruits . After the transfer of ownership to the city of Frankfurt, the garden plot and the pavilion were included in the public promenade of the ramparts designed by Sebastian Rinz .

In the interwar period, the Nebbian garden house was used as a painting studio. The Nebbiensche garden house survived the destruction of the air raids on Frankfurt am Main in the Second World War . Of the former 250 garden houses, it was the only one that survived the passage of time. In 1952 it was renovated with donations and the ornamental garden was newly laid out. Here also two wells were set up: An Italian Renaissance Fountain in marble, the Florentine Fountain , who earlier in the Villa Waldfried of the Nazis persecuted Frankfurt entrepreneur Carl von Weinberg had stood, and a small fountain. This is made of a white sandstone capital and decorated with a wrought-iron well house.

The Nebbiensche Gartenhaus is now owned by the Frankfurter Künstlerclub e. V. , which was founded in 1955 as the “Giving Hands” club by actress Dodo van Doeren , among others . Exhibitions by regional artists, matinees, poetry readings and concerts take place here on a regular basis.
