history
The one and two-storey brick-clad house with a gable roof was built in 1871/72 in the era of historicism in the Swiss style for the Bürgerparkverein in Bürgerpark . Architect Heinrich Müller planned the rear extension from 1884 with the stairwell and the side extension from 1889 with two rooms by architect Hermann Deetjen. The jewel on the roof triangle was attached in 1886.
On a board on the gable is a basic concern of the park founders: “What citizenship can do for us, this house here shows everyone. Take readers, take an example. ”Since 1866, the Bürgerpark was laid out according to plans by Wilhelm Benque and expanded and maintained with many donations. The Schweizerhaus was also built with donations amounting to 1,500 gold thalers ; a third came from the money and exchange broker Heinrich Christian Dieckmann.
The initially square house served as an apartment for the respective park director. The club administration was only housed here until 1884. Park director Carl FHA Ohrt resided here for 24 years until 1908. He was followed by Theodor G. Karich until 1918, Hugo Riggers until 1963, Günter Reinsch until 1989 and Senate Councilor a. D. Werner Damke.
In 1970 an oil heater was installed and in 1989/90 the house was thoroughly modernized.
