The former castle hotel and the adjoining residential and commercial building form a semi-detached house that has been registered as a monument in the list of monuments of the city of Detmold , Lippe district in North Rhine-Westphalia since 1991 .
history
A hospital was built near the castle around 1460. The hospital was donated by the Lippe sovereign Bernhard VII and his brother, the later Paderborn Bishop Simon . At that time it was already called "Holy Spirit" and was dedicated to the Holy Virgin Mary and St. Gertrude. In 1580 the hospital moved to the Bruchberg, between Bruchstrasse and Burggraben. A new building was built on the same site between 1613 and 1622 for Simon VII . The hospital was also used as an orphanage in the early 18th century, and from 1781 it also served as a teachers' college. The penitentiary was built on the neighboring property towards the city in 1752 , in which Christian Dietrich Grabbe was born on December 11, 1801 . Both buildings were privately owned in 1851 and the orphanage was demolished in 1890.
Remnants of the Heilig-Geist-Hospital are still in the ground and are now listed as a ground monument. Two preserved coat of arms stones from the years 1613–1622 with the coats of arms of Simon VII and his wife Anna Katharina von Nassau-Wiesbaden are today in the Lippisches Landesmuseum .
Around 1895, the private master builder Albert Bruno bought the now vacant property and built a four-storey semi-solid construction at the former Bruchpforte. The eastern part (house number 29) was to serve as a residential and commercial building, while the western part of the building housed the “castle hotel”, which the residents of Detmold called “hotel by the sea” because of its location on the castle moat. The building was not only controversial because of its architecture - with its four storeys it towered over the entire old town and also stood at the highest point. The hotel also had a bar, ladies' service and a "completely new attraction". The hotel failed in the city, which had only around 12,000 inhabitants at the time, and in 1918 it became the property of the cigar dealer Hans Pieper, who converted it, like the outbuilding, into a residential building with a shop on the ground floor.
After several modifications and additions, the facade was dismantled in 1991 based on the historical model.
architecture
Solid, four-storey semi-detached house with a slate mansard roof . A circumferential wrought iron roof parapet is no longer preserved. The front facing the street is divided over both parts of the building by cornices , profiled window frames, pilaster strips with stucco decorations, brick surfaces on the two upper floors and curved window canopies with rocailles on the second floor. The back of the building is kept simpler, but also has the floor structure with cornices. The moat walls with stone balustrades and semicircular platforms on squat columns are also part of the monument . The platforms are fenced off to the moat by ornate wrought iron bars.
No. 29
The part of the building has to Bruchstraße four window axes, the middle two collar from the first floor out and form a four-story bay window (including the attic). A steep hipped roof with a wrought-iron ridge crown on the bay window was removed in 1936. At the back of the building there is a polygonal corner tower at the transition to house 31. The tower roof was originally designed even more elaborately.
No. 31
To Bruchstraße on the first floor three groups of three windows each, on the floors above three groups with two windows each. The front side to the Berlebecke consists of four window axes, whereby the two right axes are emphasized by a three-story, kinked arbor . In the attic there are two lavishly designed dwelling houses and four dormers from the construction period . The rear bay window above the two right window axes was designed in the same way as the street bay window of House 29. Due to a two-story extension from 1924, the design can no longer be fully recognized today. Here, too, the steep hipped roof was removed in 1936.
