Zechenhaus (Hundisburg)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The main house is difficult to see behind a group of trees (hidden on the left edge of the picture). The elongated stable building and the sheep or paddock pond in the foreground are clearly visible.

The Zechenhaus (also called "Koppel") is a listed former residential building for miners in the Hundisburg district of the city of Haldensleben in Saxony-Anhalt . In the local register of monuments , the building is registered as a mining building under registration number 094 50048 as a monument .

location

The building is located at Waldweg 4 northwest below the Hundisburger Schlosshügel in the Beberaue above the Beber. Following the forest path , after 300 meters you will find the Hundisburger Forsthaus, which is also a listed building .

history

The entrepreneur Johann Gottlob Nathusius had the house built in 1814. Initially, miners who worked in the nearby copper mining and copper smelting and processing ( copper hammer instead of today's Niedermühle ) were housed here . Presumably at the same time or a little later, the workers of his machine factory recruited by Nathusius in England also lived here . After the factory and copper hammering activities had ceased, the building complex was used as a stud farm . For this purpose, the facility was expanded to include stables.

The building with its outbuildings is listed as a document of the former copper mining in Hundisburg and because of its integration into the Althaldensleben-Hundisburg landscape park .

architecture

The colliery house is an unadorned two-storey plastered building with a crooked hip roof , which in its cubature follows the tavern or rectory building of the 18th century. The building ensemble forms a courtyard in country house architecture. The stable building originally had several decorative roof bays . In the case of a new roof, only one oriel remained in a reduced form. Likewise, the tent roof of the former horse stable on a square floor plan used to have a decorative higher point.

Remarks

  1. ↑ No reference to the term horse paddock , but a historical local name for the community of farm workers living in the building.
  2. ↑ Copper was mined in a 15-meter-deep tunnel (now known as the " robber's cave " ) located about three kilometers southwest of the Olbe (right tributary of the Beber) .
