Waterhüsken
The Waterhüsken is a listed building in the Wuppertal district of Ronsdorf in North Rhine-Westphalia .
Location and description
It is located at Kniprodestraße 10 in the residential area of Ronsdorf-Mitte / Nord near the Reformed Church of Ronsdorf .
The one and a half storey building is a slated half-timbered house from 1873 with decorative boards in the attic area and ornate wooden ledges above the door and windows. Several years ago an annex was added to expand the premises.
use
The house was the meeting place of the Evangelical Youth Association founded in 1842 and is now a YMCA home. This explains the popular name Waterhüsken (the translation from Low German is water house , as there were no alcoholic beverages here).
Monument protection
Since the building with the neighboring Reformed Church with church square and the old Schwengel pump , the pastorate , the Reformed school with the school yard , the former parish hall and some surrounding residential buildings such as the Kniprodestrasse 6 building form a historical ensemble and survived the air raids on Wuppertal undamaged, it was on 30 March 1984 under monument protection provided.
