Corner house at Werderstrasse 157 and Ludwig-Pfau-Strasse 36
Dating 1908

The semi-detached house at the corner of Werderstrasse 157 and Ludwig-Pfau-Strasse 36 in Heilbronn is a listed building that was built in 1907/08 for the master baker Heinrich Bezner.

location

In 1873, the city architect Reinhard Baumeister drafted a new city plan, which also provided for the establishment of a new workers' residential area at the Südbahnhof. Ludwig-Pfau-Straße, named after Heilbronn's honorary citizen and poet Ludwig Pfau , runs from north to south and, together with Uhlandstraße, forms rectangular parcels within the workers' residential area from 1873, with Werderstraße being the historic central axis of the residential area. In the years 1977–1981, the city redeveloped the historic city quarter from the beginning of the 20th century as part of the "careful renewal of individual city quarters".

description

The house is a three-storey plastered building , with emphasis on the decoration of the facade on a "concentrated use of ornamentation". The ornamentation was reduced and limited to the ground floor and the framing of the windows.

The ground floor is in the Baroque style and, like the window frames on the two upper floors, shows a sparse ornamentation. This is where the former corner entrance to a shop is partially walled up and converted into a window.

history

When it was completed, like all other houses on Werderstrasse, this house had mainly two to three-room apartments without a bathroom, whereby the ground floor was often used for business purposes. It was used as a bakery, which can be seen at the former entrance in the " plaster ornamentation with baker's guild mark " designed in " baroque style" : there are two standing lions holding a crowned pretzel together.

In 1950 both halves of the house were owned by the heirs of Wilhemine Bezner. The bakery on the ground floor at Werderstrasse 157 was run by Willy Bezner. In addition, no. 157 names three and no. 36 another five tenants. In 1961 Willy Bezner took over the houses, but Emil Schmid ran the bakery. There were also three other tenants in no. 157, and in no. 36 four more are named.

Art historical significance

The residential building, which was designed by the architect Adolf Braunwald , is an example of the “ baroque style” on the ground floor and top floor with “surface-accentuated facade structure” and has therefore been placed under monument protection as a cultural monument.
