Vicarage (Hundisburg)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The rectory in 2014

The rectory in the Hundisburg district of Haldensleber is located on Dönstedter Strasse / Hauptstrasse 3 . In the local register of monuments , the entirety of the rectory , garden and outbuildings is entered as a prime example of a well-equipped village parsonage from the Baroque period and therefore as significant in terms of history and urban development.

history

The representative baroque building was erected in an exposed location in the center of the town by 1720. Like the similarly generously designed Schlosskrug and the former rector's office on the opposite side of the street (today the school museum, from which the cantor staircase leads up the Kirchberg to the Sankt-Andreas-Kirche ), the building was owned by the gentlemen at Schloss Hundisburg , the von family Alvensleben , financed.

The scientist and entrepreneur Friedrich Förster grew up here in the first two decades of the 20th century as the son of the pastor of the same name. In February 2008 a memorial plaque was attached to the rectory by the German Society for Non-Destructive Testing on the occasion of his 100th birthday. Today there is a community room in the building, where the services of the evangelical parish take place in winter.

architecture

The rectory is a solid building; with its central projections and the two arches it has the character of a manor house. The seven-axis plastered building is two-story and has a protruding central projectile with a gable roof and a small ox-eye on the representative street facade. It is covered by a half- hip roof.

There is a Latin inscription in the lintel , which refers to the building owners (von Alvensleben family). The interior is also representative with an entrance hall and double staircase. Some door leaves and the kitchen vault have been preserved.

In the east, the rectory is connected to the courtyard and farm buildings by a gate passage, which were built in brick half-timbered construction. A spacious garden used to be attached to the west side. This parish garden, separated from the rectory by Pastorgasse (access to Magdeburger Strasse to the north ), was designed in baroque style. It no longer exists today, only the stone wall and an old yew tree have been preserved there.
