history
In 1741, the merchant Johann Andreas Adami acquired the hillside with a garden on the small Judenberg facing the city. His son-in-law, the court trumpeter Johann Georg Waldsachs, had the area redesigned into the first Coburg community garden in 1774, which probably existed until 1812. In 1844, the Secret Finance Councilor Albert Friedrich Schnür bought the area and arranged for a historic garden to be laid out for private use. In addition, the builder Paul Gehrlicher built a neo-Romanesque garden house with a view of the city of Coburg for him on the eastern edge of the property for social purposes. The hipped roof building on a high basement had a salon, a kitchen and two small rooms for the servants on the first floor. The salon was decorated with a white porcelain stove and a painting by the artist Ernst Johann Schaller .
In 1866 the brother, the district court director Georg Ottilius Schnür, inherited the Schnürsgarten. The garden house subsequently developed under the name Schnürs Pavillon into a social center of Coburg. In 1889 the court theater painter Friedrich Lütkemeyer acquired the property from Georg Ottilius Schnür's daughter Anna Frederike for 22,000 marks. The garden became his weekend retreat. He called the summer house his Tusculum . Lütkemeyer expanded the park and decorated it with numerous statues. In the pavilion he set up, among other things, Japanese armor and gilded furniture. Lütkemeyer held numerous festivals in the garden.
In 1916 the heirs of Lütkemeyer sold the property to the Niederfüllbach Foundation , which in 1917 sold it to the city of Coburg. The city of Coburg had two social housing set up in the pavilion, but they had neither water nor sewer connections. In 1959 the building envelope was renovated. From the beginning of the 1970s the house was empty, in 1975 the student association Technische Vereinigung Coburgia zu Coburg rented it and renovated the interior. In 2004 the school association Ernesto-Albertina zu Coburg followed as a new tenant of the garden house, which renovated it and called it the Ernst-Albertiner-Haus. In 2012 a member of the school association bought the building and initiated the first renovation work on the facade.
architecture
The two-storey pavilion is built into the slope of the Adamiberges with a square floor plan. It has a plastered sandstone facade that was originally rusticated . The basement of the block-like building has diagonally placed corner pillars, which frame three arched arcades on square pillars on three sides . On the upper floor, which originally housed the large salon, there are three twin arcades in the facade. After an attic cornice with teardrop-shaped blind arcades, a flat tent roof closes off the pavilion.
