Schaumburger hat
The round hip , plug-in hip or gable umbrella called the Schaumburger Mütze is an architectural specialty in the gable design of half-timbered buildings in the Schaumburger Land . The name Schaumburger Mütze refers to the appearance of the sides of the building.
history
The design was already widespread under various names in the Schaumburger Land in the 16th century. It occurs mainly around the Schaumburg Forest in the north-western part of the Schaumburg district , but also in the neighboring eastern part of Westphalia , as far as the Osnabrück area and as far as the Zwischenahner Sea .
In the years after 1860 there was only a heyday of the architectural style in the Bückeburg and Lindhorst area and as far as the Steinhuder Meer, parallel to the appearance of the elaborate Schaumburg costume . While so far only residential farm buildings were provided with the Schaumburg caps, these were also placed in the 20th century the construction of new residential buildings. In the eastern part of the Schaumburger Land, however, there are hardly any Schaumburger hats left. The buildings that still exist are therefore often of monument preservation interest.
Construction
In the case of a Schaumburger hat, the rafters rest on plug-in beams mortised into the gable purlin. Their length determines the shape and size of the roof vault. Whereas previously the roofs with straw or reeds were covered today special red brick coverings are common. The only opening that belonged to the original construction was a smoke vent at the top of the gable.
purpose
The purpose of the Schaumburger hat is unclear. On the one hand, the weather protection for the gable facade and the entrance, and on the other hand, an enlargement of the hayloft of the agricultural buildings constructed in this way are mentioned. However, both can be implemented more easily by extending the compartment .
