history

The three-storey building ( insurance number 26) with an irregular floor plan is an example of the arrival of (large) urban architecture in rural rural areas. The wealthy asparagus and sugar beet farmer Friedrich Halbe (1875–1958) from the town had the house built for 73,000 marks according to plans by the architect Otto Eggeling with ornamental framework and stone elements. Large parts of the interior, including furniture, tiled stoves , crockery and cutlery, were also in Art Nouveau style. After Halbe's death, however, many Art Nouveau elements were gradually removed from his heirs, so that today little is reminiscent of the original building fabric. The house has a large entrance hall with a representative staircase. A large, flower-covered, colored glazed arched window on the north side shows the villa in its original form. It is typical of the home and art nouveau styles. The original house of the former three-sided courtyard from 1721, which was demolished in the 1970s , stood behind the structure that is still preserved today .

Two similar buildings by Eggeling have been preserved in the Braunschweig districts of Volkmarode and Timmerlah .

In the Braunschweig region and the Braunschweiger Land, which were traditionally characterized by sugar beet cultivation in the 19th and 20th centuries, the name Rübenschloss bears witness to both the ridicule (and envy ) of the local population in view of the ostentatious building in a rural environment, but also the recognition of the achievement of the farmer.

Only about 4 km east of the Stöckheim building there is another residential building called Rübenschloss at Salzdahlumer Straße 308, in the Braunschweig district of Mascherode .
