Schützenstrasse 1 (Bamberg)
The building at Schützenstrasse 1 (and Friedrichstrasse 2) in Bamberg is a monument with the monument number D-4-61-000-1400. As a palace from the time of the Prince Regent, the remains of its rich furnishings make it an outstanding individual monument.
description
The building at Schützenstrasse 1 (and Friedrichstrasse 2) in Bamberg is in the list of monuments for Upper Franconia with: “[...] complex building block, 1890/91 according to plans by Friedrich Geb , in an important urban planning position, the forms in the style of Louis XIII. based on "noted. These meager words for both wings are used to describe the building, albeit incorrectly classified in terms of style, in 1986. When the list of monuments was drawn up, the building was reduced to its facade and location, the not inconsiderable remnants of the interior are not recorded, and the iconography is not mentioned as not being understood. The on-site architect was Chrysotomus Martin, the executing company Georg II. Hofbauer.
A German town house as an Italian palace
As a “German town house” in the style of an “Italian palace”, the architect Friedrich Geb , then a lecturer in building art and architecture in Hanover, built the house at Schützenstrasse 1 (together with Friedrichstrasse 2 a building). Geb realized the diverse considerations of upscale residential construction and the German town house through the technical innovations and a considerable effort for the artistic design.
Examples of living comfort and the technical innovations are the installation of a winter garden, a food elevator and the use of gas-heated radiators.
The cost of one wing of the building (without mobile equipment) was greater than the cost of the Maria Hilf parish church in Bamberg, which was built at the same time.
Artistic arrangement
The mural and paintings by Carl Wiederhold as well as the purchase of a Renaissance room by the architect Leonhard Romeis , Munich, which was awarded a prize at the German National Applied Arts Exhibition in Munich in 1888, served for the artistic design . Geb was also able to use a number of artists for the artistic equipment, such as the royal court decorator Ernst Wilke from Hanover, the Hanoverian sculptor Oswald Rommel and Franz Brochier , Nuremberg, for the interior decoration. In addition there was a work by the sculptor Albert Wolff , Berlin, and glass paintings from the workshop of Georg Postek , Bamberg, later director of the State Glass Painting Institute in Budapest.
iconography
Iconography has Freemasonry as its philosophical and ideological background, a mindset that was typical of the time, to which the German or Prussian imperial family, for example, also adhered.
garden
The former garden (today Schützenstrasse 1a) was laid out symmetrically, with a wayside cross in the middle with a fountain. Some large trees from before it was built were tied into it. The fountain was roughly the size of today's fountain on Bamberg's Schönleinsplatz. A bronze heron served as a gargoyle. A similar heron stood in front of the royal house of Maximilian II in Linderhof Palace , before Ludwig II provided his new palace with a uniform facade. This heron probably came from Ludwig Schwanthaler's workshop and was cast in Ludwig Schaller's workshop in Bodenwöhr.
