Remscheider Strasse 43
The residential and commercial building at Remscheider Straße 43 is now a listed building in the Bergisch city of Wuppertal in North Rhine-Westphalia .
Location and history
The house is on the eastern side of Remscheider Strasse in the district or urban district of Ronsdorf ( urban quarter Ronsdorf-Mitte / Nord ). The building forms an optical unit with the houses Remscheider Strasse 45 and 47, which were built at about the same time and in the same style, to the south . The former monument, Remscheider Strasse 41 , directly to the north, was a slate house that became dilapidated due to long-term neglect of maintenance and could no longer be preserved. It was therefore struck from the list of monuments around 2002 , then completely demolished and replaced by a new building. Just a few meters further north are the architectural monuments Remscheider Strasse 33 and 35 . On the opposite side of the street, the houses at Remscheider Strasse 30 and 46, as well as the former Prussian tapestry school ( Remscheider Strasse 50 ) and the nearby Steigerturm Ronsdorf are also listed.
Like the neighboring buildings, the house was built at the end of the 19th century.
Description and current use
The stone-built four-axle building has three full floors and a slated mansard roof with dormer windows . The articulated and plastered facade on the street front is painted white and has historicizing style ornaments such as window friezes and an eaves cornice under the mansard roof. The southern part of the house, which is directly adjacent to the neighboring building 45, consists of an end projection (protruding from the facade surface ) , which is surmounted by an ornamental gable on the mansard floor . The back of the house, facing the street Am Stadtbahnhof , has an extension and is completely slated up to the basement.
There is a shop on the ground floor of the privately owned house , the business premises of which also extend to the ground floor of the neighboring house 45. Originally used by retailers , a service company is now located here . The upper floors are used as apartments.
