Residential buildings Innsbrucker Strasse 27 and 29 (Heilbronn)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The houses with today's addresses Innsbrucker Straße 27 and 29 in Heilbronn were built for the merchant Albert Pfleiderer. House No. 29 was built in 1904 according to designs by architects Beutinger & Steiner in Art Nouveau style with gold inlay . House No. 27 in the neo-baroque style was also built in 1914 according to the designs of these architects. In 1944 the two houses were destroyed by area bombing. The neo-baroque facade of No. 27 and the Art Nouveau portal of No. 29 remained. A facade relief by Peter Jakob Schober at Kirchbrunnenstrasse 11 in Heilbronn reminds us of the Pfleiderer coffee roastery, which closed in 1979 , and shows a steaming cup at the point where the company once operated another roastery.

history

Merchant Albert Pfleiderer had the Art Nouveau house at Staufenbergstrasse 29 built in 1904 based on designs by Beutinger & Steiner. In the stairwell there was an elaborately Art Nouveau banister made of brass and mosaic work on the walls.

In 1914 he founded his coffee business and had a coffee roastery set up in the cellars of his house at Staufenbergstrasse 27. The company founder had previously worked for the coffee roastery of Friedrich Tscherning from Heilbronn am Neckar, founded in 1824, for 35 years . In 1928 his son Fritz Pfleiderer (born March 26, 1909, † January 9, 1979) joined the business. In 1938 the Staufenbergstrasse was renamed Innsbrucker Strasse. In 1945 it got its original name back, in 1947/48 it was briefly called Wilhelm-Schwan-Straße, before it was renamed Innsbrucker Straße again in 1948.

Both houses were destroyed in the air raid on December 4, 1944 , only a portal of No. 29 and the facade of No. 27 and the roastery in the basement of No. 27 survived the bombs. The Pfleiderer family found shelter in Horkheim . After the destruction, the 80-year-old Albert Pfleiderer began clearing the rubble; after being a prisoner of war, his son Fritz Pfleiderer was able to help with the reconstruction. The facade of the house at Innsbrucker Strasse 27 and a portal at No. 29 could be saved. House No. 29 was rebuilt with a simplified facade. The Lumpp fur store moved into his shop.

In the post-war period, company founder Albert Pfleiderer and his daughter Berta Bassmann - widow of a veterinarian - as well as Albert's son Fritz Pfleiderer and Fritz Pfleiderer's daughter Karin Kohout sold coffee. From 1949 onwards, coffees were offered again on the ground floor of the rebuilt parent company at Innsbrucker Straße 27. After the founder's death, Fritz Pfleiderer and his wife Elisabeth b. Aigner's business. Since 1954 there has been a new roasting plant in the basement and electric coffee grinders with flywheels were available. In 1958, the company also opened a coffee roastery with a shop at Kirchbrunnenstrasse 11. With the death of Fritz Pfleiderer in 1979, the coffee-Pfleiderer era ended.

reception

The building at Innsbrucker Straße 29, designed by Beutinger & Steiner in 1904, was mentioned in 1907 in the journals Architektonische Rundschau and Der Profanbau : It is one of the “good examples of elegant urban buildings”. In particular, sandstone was used, "whose ornaments at the Pfleiderer house were also treated with color using gold". The building price of the house was around 43,000 marks .
