Feldhaushof settlement

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Feldhaushof housing estate is located in the Essen district of Huttrop and was built due to the housing shortage after the First World War . The embedding in extensive green areas according to plans by the architect Josef Rings was a special feature at the time of construction.

history

The name Feldhaushof is derived from the landowner Heinrich Feldhaus of the Feldhaushof zu Stoppenberg, to whom the Lueghof, mentioned in the 16th century, belonged from 1867 to 1876. The buildings of the Lueghof were roughly in the area of ​​the current intersection of Luegstrasse / Feldhauskamp in the middle of today's Feldhaushof housing estate.

After the First World War, the city of Essen founded the Allgemeine Bauverein Essen AG (Allbau) on April 17, 1919 in order to counteract the housing shortage. The first housing estate that Allbau AG built was the Feldhaushof estate. It was then handed over to the housing cooperative Feldhaushof eGmbH Essen , which was founded on January 11, 1921, for self-administration by the residents. The Feldhaushof settlement remained the sole property of the cooperative. In 1931 their statutes were changed in order to maintain the public benefit and at the same time to include the construction of new apartments. In 1942, politically and economically motivated by the National Socialists, eleven independent housing cooperatives , including the Feldhaushof eGmbH Essen, merged to form the new Essen-Ost eGmbH housing cooperative. It has been called GEWOBAU since 1959.

character

Under the internal working title Allbau 1 , 184 apartments in 140 houses were built in the New Objectivity style at the beginning of the 1920s , designed by the architect Josef Rings. Based on the Krupp housing, which was already widespread in Essen and which was regarded as exemplary at the time, the Feldhaushof settlement was embedded in extensive green spaces. The apartments were intended for the "common people", not for the wealthy.
