Alt Salbke apartment block 102–106
The Alt Salbke 102-106 apartment block is a listed group of houses in the Salbke district of Magdeburg .
The five three-storey houses are slightly elevated above the Alt Salbke street, north of the Salbker town center. On the opposite side of the street are the buildings of the Salbke Reichsbahn repair shop .
Architecture and history
The block was built in 1928/29 according to plans by the architect Friedrich Rother on behalf of the Magdeburger Mieter-Bau- und Sparverein housing association . In the 19th century there was a windmill in this area . The plastered houses with a flat roof were built in the factual and functional style of New Building . The facade is structured by horizontal, ribbon-like windows. Originally, open loggias were also characteristic for the front , but these were later closed. Balconies were later added to the rear. In the area of the stairwells, the facade recedes a little. The entrance areas are also emphasized by a brick edging. The houses have a mezzanine floor .
The protection was given on the grounds that the block was significant in terms of architectural history as a testimony to the settlement architecture of the 1920s and the profile of Magdeburg as a “city of the new will to build”. Architectural monuments that are significant from a similar point of view can be found in the Fermersleben settlement further to the north and the Westerhüsen settlement in the south .
