Tattersall (Bad Kissingen)
The Tattersall in Bavarian Staatsbad Bad Kissingen was after London's ideas, namesake and equerry Richard Tattersall named riding hall , which is used as the convention center today. It has been a listed building since 1987 and is entered in the list of monuments under the number D-6-72-114-395.
history
The Bad Kissinger Tattersall was built in 1911 by the Bad Kissingen architect Franz Krampf (1875–1945), the younger brother of the much more important architect Carl Krampf (1863–1910), on the edge of the old town. The building is a high-floor hall building with a mansard hipped roof and cast iron trusses as well as an adjacent, equally high, but two-floor (former) residential building with a mansard roof .
The building owner of the Art Nouveau building was the Bad Kissinger "Association for the Promotion of Riding and Driving Sports ", which together with the Bad Kissingen Golf Club formed a sports club . The Tattersall served the club and the spa guests as a weather-independent riding hall. The horses were housed and cared for in its side rooms with boxes - both the horses of the club members and those of the spa guests.
When this sports club was dissolved in 1930, the new "Reiterverein Bad Kissingen", founded in 1926, leased the Tattersall from the city owner, especially since he had also used it in earlier years.
During the Second World War , all club horses were confiscated by the German Wehrmacht , as was the Tattersall, which from then on was used as a fuel store. In the stable, however, there were still six small horses belonging to the on-site doctor to take care of the hospitals .
After the war, the Tattersall was confiscated by the 9th Air Force from 1945 and handed over to the American military police . But already in 1946 the building was opened for equestrian sports again and the Bad Kissingen equestrian club resumed operations with growing success. After 40 years, however, the capacity was no longer sufficient, which is why the riding club moved to the former stables of the Upper Saline outside the city in 1987 .
After the riders moved out, the Bad Kissingen city council placed the historic building under a preservation order in December 1987. It then took the city a few years to come to an agreement on the future use. Finally, it was decided to convert it into a conference and event center and had the Tattersall completely renovated in the mid-1990s and converted to suit future use.
Another renovation followed in 2002. But the work was barely completed when the flood of January 4, 2003 destroyed the freshly laid parquet floor and part of the new technical system, which is why both had to be replaced again.
Todays use
Today the Tattersall (Reithausplatz 2) is in the best inner city location, about 500 meters from the market square, and right next to a large parking lot that was renamed in April 2009 from “Salinen-Parking” to “Tattersall-Parking”.
The building with its historical ambience has a usable area of 910 square meters . On the ground floor there is the large hall with gallery (400 square meters), the former riding hall, with a capacity of up to 400 seats. This is followed by a small hall (85 square meters). On the upper floor there is a room (90 square meters) for around 60 seats. The forecourt, which was previously used as an outdoor riding arena, is now used for outdoor events.
