Restoration to the Baeckehiesel
The restoration of the Baeckehiesel was a pub with a ballroom in Art Nouveau style (1890) in the Orangery Park in the Allée de la Robertsau in Strasbourg . On the site of the Baeckehiesel, which was demolished in 1954, there is now a residential complex from 1960.
history
Around 1880, the Baeckehiesel restaurant was built as a simple building. It was opposite the entrance to the Orangery Park.
In 1890 the operator Gruber & Cie. build a ball and banquet hall based on designs by the architect M. Schopp (died 1898) in Art Nouveau style, which contrasted with the original and rather modest restaurant with its stone, metal and glass furnishings. The hall was also used for exhibitions and as a ballroom, for example for automobile exhibitions or for masked balls. A summer garden was attached to the old “Place Lenôtre” building. The restaurant was thus versatile and developed into a well-known and popular address in Strasbourg at the beginning of the 20th century.
The Baeckehiesel establishment was demolished in 1954. All that has been preserved is the relief of a baker boy greeting him, which today adorns the facade of a patisserie in Rue du 22 Novembre. On the site of the Baeckehiesel there is now a residential complex built in 1960 according to plans by Charles-Gustave Stoskopf and Walter Oehler.
