Tower of the Stadtsparkasse Wuppertal
The tower block of Stadtsparkasse Wuppertal is 75 meters high and is the tallest building in the city of Wuppertal. It has 19 storeys, 15 of which are utility storeys, and is surrounded by outbuildings that accommodate customer rooms and parking spaces. When designing the building, an attempt was made to make an unusual static structure visible to the outside.
On December 2, 2015, the ensemble of buildings on the banks of the Iceland with the Sparkasse tower was recognized as a monument and entered in the list of monuments of the city of Wuppertal.
Location and urban history
The Stadtsparkasse skyscraper is located in the Elberfeld district in the southwestern city center on the banks of the Icelandic island. This street name is reminiscent of the Iceland district that used to be here. This district was characterized by simple half-timbered houses and poorer residents. It was on Kölner Strasse, which led from the Wupperbrücke as an extension of the wall to the southwest. This district was demolished as early as 1900, making way for large-scale Wilhelminian style houses. The Thalia Theater , a famous variety theater, opened here in 1906. It was one of the few buildings to survive World War II , but was demolished in the 1960s to make way for the new Stadtsparkasse, which was inaugurated in 1973.
The draft provided for a redesign of the urban situation. Before the war, the area between the Wupper and the railway was built on by closed blocks. This changed with the effects of the war and the breakthrough of the Talstrasse ( B 7 ). Solitary individual buildings in an urban green landscape were assigned to the broad traffic lane. One of these buildings was the new building of the Sparkasse.
architecture
The complex is dominated by the 19-storey high-rise, which was built according to plans by the architect Paul Schneider-Esleben . His concept already shows a departure from the functional architecture widespread in the 1960s. Instead, an attempt is made here to create a more exciting structure by choosing an unusual static support system. The core of the elevator and the adjoining room now serves to transfer the entire load. A planar structure rests on it, which takes up the nineteenth floor and, supported by a pyramid-shaped substructure, takes up a larger area than the core. Two steel tie rods are mounted on each of the four outer edges, from which the outer sides of the office floors hang.
Critics speak of “ taking forces for a walk ”: In some cases, the loads are first brought up the entire building in order to be diverted back down through the core. Nevertheless, the concept creates a structured structure. The 16th floor, which is an independent element above the office floors but below the representative 19th floor, originally housed a restaurant, which however had to be closed in 1982. The base of the building shows the exposed core on the 3rd and 4th floors without the office space being converted. The high-rise thus floats between the surrounding ancillary buildings.
In the meantime, the high-rise is no longer sufficient, which is why the modern five-story glass building was opened opposite the Wilhelm-Dörpfeld-Gymnasium in Wuppertal and the historic town hall . It is connected to the high-rise building by a single-storey, roofed steel-glass bridge and was completed in 1996. In this new building, among other things, meetings are held, international congresses are held, but school classes are also introduced to economic life.
Trivia
The building played a role in the film The Warrior and the Empress with Benno Fürmann , Franka Potente and Joachim Król .
