Location and surroundings

The Hofgartenstrasse originally delimited the Hofgartenweiher Landskrone . Before the destruction, there were bourgeois city palaces on the street. The location on Hofgartenstrasse was “exquisite”: the bankers Christian Gottfried Trinkaus , the wealthy pensioners Franz von Heister, Friedrich Krall, Eberhard Thieme, Theodor Dietze, medical officer Richard Hasenclever and some noble officers lived there. Eberhard Thieme, local councilor, appeared alongside Baum, Stein and Cretschmar as director of the Niederrheinische Dampfschleppschiffahrstgesellschaft.

The building was located on Corneliusplatz at the southern end of the Hofgarten, not far from the monument erected in 1879 for the painter Peter von Cornelius . Before 1945, the square formed the “connection from the courtyard garden to the urban, built-up area with the Parkhotel buildings on the western side and the Trinkausbank on the eastern side”. Jan-Wellem-Platz was replaced by the former Trinkauspalais and the other buildings in the 1950s created. This should begin traffic as the end point of the newly created Berliner Allee. As a result, there were multi-lane traffic axes as well as the ramp of the millipede , which was designed and implemented by Friedrich Tamms . The Hochstraße was opened in 1962 and later placed under monument protection due to its special design. In 2013, the elevated road was demolished against substantial protests. The Kö-Bogen project was implemented on Jan-Wellem-Platz, the site of which also includes that of the former Trinkaus-Palais.

description

Rudi vom Endt describes in Düsseldorf - Just like the Trinkaus-Palais . The palace was named after its resident, Kommerzienrat Max Trinkaus (1866–1929), who died childless in 1929 and who can be traced back to the Düsseldorf address books for the years 1892, 1893, 1899 and 1900. Max was a partner in the CG Trinkaus banking house, the oldest private banking business in Düsseldorf, a member of the Chamber of Commerce and was considered a "cosmopolitan financier" and one of "the most distinctive personalities in town". So Trinkaus supported the cultural affairs of Düsseldorf very much. In his private life he was an enthusiastic reserve officer of the "Düsseldorfer Ulanen" and a friend of Walter Bürhaus, the enterprising director of Deutsche Bank.

“ The Trinkaus-Palais on the corner of Hofgartenstrasse and Schadowplatz was inhabited by the Kommerzienrat Max Trinkaus , a partner in the CG Trinkaus banking house, Düsseldorf's oldest private bank. The urbane financier was one of the city's most prominent personalities around the turn of the century, and he promoted his cultural interests as much as he could. As a true Düsseldorf resident, he enjoyed wandering the Königsallee, mostly with Walter Bürhaus, the successful director of Deutsche Bank. He attached great importance to a representative appearance and well-groomed appearance; so he tried on a suit seven times and never ordered bespoke shoes under six pairs [...] He was a reserve officer of the Westphalian Uhlan Regiment No. 5, the "Düsseldorfer Uhlans". When the commander [...] rode past, he never failed to knock on his comrade's window to exchange a little city gossip [...] "

The house at Hofgartenstrasse 14 in Düsseldorf was built according to designs by the Düsseldorf architects Boldt & Frings . The palace was characterized by its size: It was a "large-scale complex [...] The floor plan shows, with a significant area extension, a complex of large rooms that are grouped together around the hall." The Corneliusplatz was designed in 1879 as a building block together with a memorial to the former director of the Düsseldorf Art Academy .
