Municipal gym in Rottweil
The municipal gym in Rottweil is a former gym in Rottweil . Its construction was decided on February 8, 1889 with the help of Max Duttenhofer . Construction began in the summer of 1890 under the direction of town builder Wilhelm Haug; the inauguration took place on May 12, 1891. During the ceremonial speech, high school director Eble explained the purpose of the gym: it should serve "the mental and physical development of young people and the preparation of them for military service ". In fact, it contained its own rooms "for the purpose of military pattern ".
The gymnasium was built as a brick building in the historicism style with a rectangular floor plan and a barrel roof . This design earned it the colloquial name "furniture van". Because comparable structures were destroyed, the building is unique in southern Germany. It is probably the first building in Rottweil that had central heating , namely low-steam pressure heating .
From 1942 the building was used for demonstrations by the Wehrmacht , which exhibited military equipment , for example a quadruplet flak and a Kettenkrad . However, it also functioned as a collection point for people who were deported "to the Dachau prison camp" (probably meant: the Dachau concentration camp ). After the Second World War , the French occupying forces set up a prison camp in the gym, but from April 1948 it could be used again for school purposes and for club sports.
On June 10, 1951, a boxing match between Richard Armleder and the four-time German boxing champion Fritz Bihler from Stuttgart took place here, further boxing matches followed.
In 1970 the city of Rottweil sold the gymnasium to the former Deutsche Bundespost , which had set up a main post office on an adjacent property . Against the background of monument protection, the post office building was designed as a stylistically aligned clinker brick building. Subsequently, however, massive, dangerous subsidence occurred on the building. Ultimately, the post turned against the preservation of the building and applied for a demolition permit in 1986, but it was denied. Both the Freiburg Administrative Court and the Mannheim Administrative Court decided (1992) that the building should not be demolished. In the same year, the Post sold the property.
Since the year 2000, the now renovated, listed building has been used as a market hall with 400 square meters of sales area.
