history

The houses

The Neustadt around 1750 on the painting by an unknown artist

Together with the realization of the Friedrichstaler Canal , Count Friedrich Adolf initiated the first expansion of the city of Detmold beyond the old city wall at the beginning of the 18th century. In addition to the row of houses, it also included the Favorite House , also known as Friedamadolfsburg or later the Neues Palais , today the Detmold University of Music .

The ten buildings form a continuous row of terraced houses and were originally built according to identical plans: simple plastered buildings with an upper floor and mansard roof . On the first floor there was the entrance door in the middle, above it an oval skylight . The upper floor had five windows on the street side, on the ground floor symmetrical to the entrance, two each on the left and right, which formed an axis with the windows on the floor above.

As a result of renovations towards the end of the 19th century, most of the houses have been significantly changed and some have been redistributed.

The street

The original Neustadt from 1720 only included the ten houses listed here, which were consecutively numbered. The name was changed during the National Socialist era, and by decision of the city of Detmold, the street was now referred to as "Hitlerdamm" in order to get its old name again from 1945. In 1970 or 1975 it was renamed again and the previous Neustadt became part of the avenue (opposite the Friedrichstaler Canal ). This gave the houses new, exclusively straight house numbers. It was not until 1993 that the new town became a new town again, following a decision by the city council, but kept its avenue house numbers.

Although not actually part of the Neustadt, the following, also listed buildings are now included:

Individual descriptions of the houses

The current house numbering is used.

No. 2

The first and most northerly house is the closest to the original condition of the row of houses. The sandstone-framed skylight contains the inscription “AUXILIO DEI ET DOMINI MEI CLEMENTISSIMI” (“With the help of God and my most gracious lord”). Above the door there is the indication "ANNO 1707" and a small alliance coat of arms .

No. 4

This building was increased by one storey around 1900, while the facade was supplemented with Wilhelmine stucco. A baroque stucco ceiling from the construction period is still preserved on the ground floor.

No. 6

Today's houses 6 to 10 were originally two five-axis buildings. A drawing by Hugo von Donops from 1865 shows that this house and the neighboring house formed a continuous, seven-axis building with a gate on the seventh axis. Between 1867 and 1885 it was divided into two individual houses and both buildings were given front doors with natural stone framing. The mansard roof had to give way to a roof terrace on the street side. In 1960 the ground floor was finally rebuilt to its present form.

No. 8

Together with the (today's) house numbers 6 and 10, no.8 was redistributed after 1867 and was given its current appearance. At the same time as No. 6, the mansard roof had to give way to the roof terrace, but it was later dismantled.

No. 10

Was rebuilt between 1867 and 1885 together with No. 6 and No. 8 from a five-axis to a three-axis eaves structure. In 1897 various renovations took place, so the building was extended by one floor, a second entrance was built, as well as a balcony on the first floor and the facade decorated with stucco. In 1935 the facade was redesigned, of which the ashlar plaster on the ground floor is still preserved today. The interior of the building shows some furnishings from 1897, e.g. B. the tiled hallway, a staircase with two-winged wooden landing stairs and historical doors with brass fittings.

No. 12

Door lintel with the inscription “IOHANN FRIEDRICH SCHENCK WILHELMINA FLOR. SOPHIA KOCH ”and“ ANNO 1734 ”. Above the skylight it reads “CANDIDE ET CONSTANTER.” (“Sincere and Persistent.”). The windows on the upper floor are surrounded by fluted pilasters , which were probably installed around 1850. A historical use as a wine store is documented for the building.

In the courtyard, bordering on the neighboring property to the south, there is a structurally separate, elongated solid building measuring 6 × 18 m, which was probably built by Johan Friedrich Schenck in 1731/32 as a warehouse, farm and sales building, according to the lintel inscription. The hipped roof of the single-storey structure is covered with engobed hollow pans . Above the half-sunk cellar with groin vault is the living floor, which can be reached via a two-flight staircase made of sandstone with iron railings. The stone frame of the entrance door shows the year 1732.

No. 14

The house was redesigned in 1890. Parts of the historic interior from the late 19th century have been preserved on the upper floor.

No. 16

The lintel shows the inscription "CAROL SENFU: IOHANNA MAGDALENA WINTERS: 1708". The building was redesigned and expanded in the baroque style in 1907 by the then city architect Paul Schuster. The facade received stucco decorations around the window axes, the window parapets were covered with rough plaster fields. The iron railing on the roof terrace also dates from this time. The house has been extended to the rear with an attached wing. Some stucco ceilings from the renovation period are still preserved, as well as terrazzo floors and terracotta wall tiles in the hallway.

No. 18

The house was redesigned around 1860. The windows on the upper floor received profiled cladding, roofs and window sills on consoles . Profiled cornices were installed between the floors . The entrance door was surrounded by fluted pilasters on pedestals and capitals at the top , above which a horizontal roof with a triangular gable was attached. The mansard roof was dismantled in 1889, so that a roof terrace with iron railing was also created here. In 1956, the ashlar plaster on the ground floor and the windows, which were designed analogously to the door, were removed, resulting in today's appearance. In the courtyard there is a groomed vaulted cellar.

After a fire in November 1993, the monument value is restricted.

No. 20

After 1867, the previous houses 9 and 10 were combined into one large, ten-axis building. The roof of the former No. 9 is - with the exception of the dormers - still in its original condition, while the other part of the building was slightly removed before 1867. In 1882 there was a southern extension (garden room) with a recessed first floor and a pilaster structure. Presumably at the same time, the front door was relocated and the facade was given late classical decoration: grooved plaster on the ground floor, rosette frieze divides the ground floor and upper floor, profiled bezels around the windows on the first floor, below the eaves cornice with tooth cut. The late classicist interior is still in good condition.

A wall built before 1867 connects to the south. The formerly higher and longer brick wall was given its present form between 1882 and 1889. It was redesigned with cement plaster, moved around the corner to Gartenstrasse and provided there with profiled ashlar covers. The neo-baroque gate entrance on Gartenstrasse was probably created during a renovation in 1951/52.
