from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tomberger Hof

The Tomberger Hof is a late medieval manor in Königswinter , a town in the Rhein-Sieg district in North Rhine-Westphalia . It is the oldest building as well as the oldest surviving winery in the city center and received its current form during renovations and additions in the 19th century. The Tomberger Hof is located on the north side of Tomberger Straße (house number 4), one of the old town alleys leading up to the main street.

history

The courtyard was built by the Lords of Tomburg and Landskron , who formed a common rulership after 1397. In 1407, according to the earliest documented mention, it was owned by the Burgrave Godard von Drachenfels . Used as a winery with its own wine cellar , the Tomberger Hof probably also had a separate press house . In the 18th century, the massive main building was increased by a tower - like half - timbered tower in the Baroque style .

On March 20, 1844, the Catholic parish acquired the Tomberger Hof in order to set up a hospital and poor house as well as a children's institution . For the new use, the former outbuildings were demolished and the courtyard-side expanded to include an elongated building in late classicist forms, which was completed by the opening of the facility in October 1845. The hospital was the first in Königswinter and was named “St. Josef ”(popularly“ little monastery ”) and was led from October 3, 1856 by the order of the poor servants of Jesus Christ . A hospital or monastery chapel, consecrated in 1875, was located in the medieval part of the courtyard. The children's custody, located on the ground floor and also under the direction of the religious order, was closed in 1875 as a result of the culture war . In 1892 the hospital accommodated 90 patients. From 1904 it was owned by the parish of St. Remigius ; The hospital was located in Tomberger Hof until the completion of a new building in 1910.

The Tomberger Hof now serves as a residential building. It stands as a monument under monument protection . The entry in the monuments list of the city of Königswinter took place on October 3rd, 1989.

architecture

The courtyard complex is divided into the core of the late medieval old building facing Tomberger Straße and the rear or courtyard-side extension from the mid-19th century. The old building is an angular two-storey building made of quarry stone , for which basalt , tuff and trachyte blocks were used. Under the front part there is a vaulted wine cellar, the entrance and exit of which are each provided with a round arched gate made of trachyte blocks. The tower-like half-timbered tower from the 18th century is closed at the top by a curved dome with an open lantern . A rear subsequent roof is probably still late medieval with one side preserved, published in the 18th century in the top schiefertem tail gable . The stained glazing of the windows on the upper floor in the place of the former hospital chapel goes back to the end of the 19th century . The windows were given their current, enlarged shape in the 18th and 19th centuries and are framed by sandstone walls facing Tomberger Straße . The interior stairwell extends in two ways on the upper floor. The latter is equipped with undecorated Cologne ceilings .

The extension building on the courtyard side, built around 1845, is an elongated, two-and-a-half-story plastered building that merges into the medieval part. An extension of this part of the courtyard to Altenberger Gasse dates back to 1866. It comprises ten axes with a central axis emphasized by a raised gable, with the entrance doors being shifted out of the axes. The various roof structures from the different construction phases of the courtyard partially overlap, resulting in a complex roof structure. It is separated from Altenberger Gasse by a quarry stone wall from the 18th century.
