Schützenhalle Siedlinghausen
The St. John's Schützenhalle was in 1905 Siedlinghausen , a district of Winterberg built and stands since 1996 under monument protection .
history
The shooting society, which was established in 1876, wanted to organize a festival for the townspeople every year, which initially took place in tents . Around 1900 she finally decided to build a hall .
Assinghausen- based builder Stute was commissioned with the planning . Most of the work was carried out in-house and in collaboration with a carpentry workshop that also works in Assinghausen . The construction costs of around 18,000 marks were raised through the sale of shares that were available to everyone.
Since the terrain is slightly sloping, the foundation of the shooting hall in the southern area was placed on stilts, while the northern part rests on foundation pillars sunk into the earth. The rectangular main room was divided by a board wall before and during the Second World War. In the south was the bar and separated by a wall the toilets . After the end of the war, the room was opened and various changes were made from around the early 1960s. So the entire foundation was built with a basement, the toilets were moved there, a staircase, a spacious kitchen, as well as various lounges and a shooting range were built. The upper area was extended by an extension in the eastern part. In addition, the windows were replaced there and warm air heating was installed. The wooden floor is still original.
architecture
Exterior construction
The entire rifle hall consists of half-timbering , the compartments of which were lined with bricks. The main viewing side is the north facade facing the main street. From the outside, the building appears to be two-story. Above all, the two ribbon windows surrounding the building contribute to this. The timber construction of the half-timbering is still visible today and divides the facade. The hall, which is roofed with a gable roof, consists of a longitudinal middle section, to which two risalits connect at the sides . The risalites and the central axis of the building are particularly emphasized as there are gables above them; here the two outer gables exceed the middle gable in height. The middle axis is further emphasized by the centrally arranged, double-leaf door.
Interior construction
The framework construction is also visible from the inside. The spatial effect is particularly characterized by the exposed roof beams . Contrary to what the outside suggests, the hall takes up the entire interior. The hall remains largely unstructured and only a small part of the room is separated by pillars. A balcony is attached above the door at the level of the upper ribbon. The large counter is in the southern part and the small counter in the eastern part.
function
The main function of the shooting hall is primarily to provide accommodation for the shooting brotherhood and the annual shooting festival. Furthermore, both public and private parties can be held.
The local shooting club is located in the basement . There are two shooting ranges available: one for handguns and small-caliber rifles and one for air guns . In addition, the practice room of the Negertal musicians is also located here .
