Historical dates
The complex is the 1941 and 1948 farm buildings of a forestry company owned by the Rheydt factory owner Karl Arnz. Created during and after the Second World War , they show the focus on the use of forest workers with back horses during the war years and the reconstruction phase.
The client was Karl Arnz, who also owned the forester's house on Rheindahlener Strasse in Mennrath . He was the brother of Friedrich (Fritz) Arnz, who worked as a silk producer in Rheydt. From this weaving mill , the new building of the Max Arnz silk weaving mill in Watelerstraße emerged in 1900 - including the manufacturer's villa in the park. In 1955 Karl Arnz celebrated his golden business anniversary. Karl Arnz's daughter lives in the former forester's house to this day.
Both buildings are largely original. In addition to the cubature of the building , the floor plan , the window frames, door leaves and the typical stalls with feeding tables and troughs have been preserved.
Despite the simple and functional design at first glance, the buildings have been designed with a sense of design proportions and details. Segmental lintels, wooden doors, steel-frame windows and wooden windows on the upper floor, the eaves formation and concrete ceilings (house from 1948) as well as the inscribed dates allow traditional design elements to connect with the building techniques that were current at the time.
Built as Karl Arnz'sches Waldgut , forest workers and their horses were housed in the two buildings.
The object is important for human history and for the history of working and production conditions.
There is a public interest in its preservation and use for scientific reasons, in particular for reasons of local history.
