Thiemes court

Thiemes Hof around 1930

Thiemes Hof was a residential building from the 1870s in the eastern suburb of Leipzig . After its dilapidation and demolition, a new residential complex, the Garten-Carré , was built by 2019 .

Location and shape

Thiemes Hof with the address Querstraße 26/28 was located between Karlstraße and Czermaks Garten. Its proximity to the city center is evident from the distance of almost 200 meters from the Georgiring.

Thiemes Hof was formed by two long buildings with the gable facing the cross street, which were connected in the middle by a transverse structure. This resulted in two separate courtyard areas open to the gable ends. Because the street was not at right angles, the outer sides were not parallel. This was offset in the front courtyard by an increase in the building width of the right wing, while in the rear courtyard the non-parallelism was transferred to the courtyard.

The buildings were four storeys high with a basement , a low attic area and a flat roof. At a later time, the middle part showed another floor with a mansard roof . The facades had classical architectural elements .

history

Thiemes Hof, plan from 1884

In 1872, Professor Johann Nepomuk Czermak built his spectatorium in his garden . After his death in 1873, this was moved to the university campus on Brüderstraße and the garden area was parceled out for new buildings. Czermak's widow Marie von Lämel-Czermak, a daughter of the wealthy Prague banker Leopold von Lämel , had Leipzig architect Otto Steib build a residential complex on a 4,640 m² plot of land on Querstraße. The Leipzig tailor and businessman Hugo Alfred Thieme bought it in 1910 and named it Thiemes Hof .

Almost without damage during the Second World War , the structure fell into disrepair during the GDR era. In 1991, the building contractor Jürgen Schneider bought the property from a community of heirs for 15 million DM with the intention of building a shopping and business center there. After Schneider went bankrupt in 1994, the new owner, the MIB company, wanted to build a senior citizens' residence, but went bankrupt beforehand as well. In 2003 the building had become so dilapidated that it had to be demolished. After that, under the management of LESG mbH, a green area was created as a contracting ABM . The company cost 870,000 euros. This meadow has been called the most expensive in town.

In 2016, the construction of a residential complex based on plans by Leipzig's S&P Sahlmann Planungsgesellschaft für Bauwesen mbH began on the site. The Leipzig company ImmVest Wolf GmbH took over the construction. Following the existing buildings on Büttnerstrasse, four- to six-storey buildings were built that enclose an inner courtyard area of ​​around 2500 m² with green areas, benches and playgrounds. With reference to Czermak Garten, to which the site previously belonged, and to the adjacent street of the same name, the complex was given the name Garten-Carré . The first tenants moved in in 2018.
