The Stüvehaus was built from 1862 to 1864 as Osnabrück's municipal hospital when the previous building at the Großer Gildewart became too small. After today's townhouse 1 was built, the hospital moved into this building. The Stüvehaus was used in different ways in the following years and is now home to the Osnabrück Adult Education Center and a Brazilian restaurant .

location

The Stüvehaus is located on the slope of the Westerberg above the intersection in front of the Waterloo Gate or often also called the Heger Gate. The address is Bergstrasse 8 . While the Waterloo-Tor is in the city ​​center , the Felix-Nussbaum-Haus on the opposite side of Lotter Strasse and the Akzisehaus are already in the Weststadt district .

To the rear of the Stüvehaus are the mountain church and the administrative buildings, townhouses 1 and 2.

Bronze statue of the Stüvedenkmal

In front of the building is a large plane tree , which is listed under the designation ND-OS-S 34 as a natural monument of the city of Osnabrück . There is also a bronze statue of Johann Carl Bertram Stüve created by the sculptor Heinrich Pohlmann in 1882 in front of the building , which was moved here from the market after the Second World War . The green area in front of the building is officially called the Platz der Stadtfreundschaften .

history

Since the old city hospital from 1811 on Große Gildewart was too small during the cholera epidemic in Osnabrück in 1859, the mayor of Osnabrück, Johann Carl Bertram Stüve, commissioned the city architect Wilhelm Richard to build a new, larger city hospital on Lotter Straße erect. The Romanized round arch style was implemented as the architectural style , with the building being the main work of this architectural style in Osnabrück. The building was completed in December 1864 and people moved into in the spring of 1865. The built-in water closets were completely new at the time and first had to be explained to the users.

Since the building could hardly meet the space requirements of the hospital from the turn of the century, a new building was planned in the immediate vicinity after the First World War. After the completion of the construction of a new hospital, which began in 1928, the building was used for a wide variety of purposes from 1931. Among other things, apartments and a school were housed here before the adult education center used the building completely.

In September 1944 the building was badly damaged in an air raid on Osnabrück .
