architecture crimes in Heidenheim

I was on New Year's Eve with his wife and daughter a few days at my in-laws in Heidenheim. For almost ten years I am consistently stunned before the Swabian town hall this city, this is undoubtedly one of the most hideous crimes architecture in Germany.

Hall Heidenheim

Considering only the building itself, its Unique ugliness does not. A friend pointed out to me that the City Council of Offenbach resembles fatal. He knew not how right he was: Both houses are in the No. 11 of the magazine presented the 1973 construction world as examples of landmark town hall buildings.

Both the Heidenheimer City Hall and the building erected by the architects Maier, Graf, Speidel and Schanty administrative center of Offenbach are examples of an architectural Brutalism, with whom they wanted to be wanted, especially in the sixties and seventies revolutionary stand out from the architectural traditions of the past . At that time, so early days buildings were still not as nice but as ornate expression of an imperialist mentality that Germany in the first World War I had driven.

thought likely that Heidenheimer city fathers in the early sixties similarly critical of the old town hall. The idea to reduce the administration just so much that they would continue to find in this beautiful 19th-century building space, it was not, anyway.

was the time that has formulated Robert Gernhardt so unique in his 1997 published poem "An informative and interesting interview with the Berlin Academy of Arts Hanseatenweg 10": at

"Tell me, when they built up?
I thought they built in 1960.
Say what you have believed at that time?
...
We believed in right angle.
We believed in pure forms.
...
We believed in glass and slate
...
We were grayed out in front of jewelry and ornamentation.
...
We believed in bare concrete.
...
We were grayed out before provincial and history.

people like Werner Düttmann who wanted it built by Gernhardt directly addressed the house, "the Burden of war guilt and destruction with a radical structural break with tradition shake, " writes the critic Michael Mönninger.

One year after the completion of the Berlin Academy building, on 7 November 1961, won the then only 27 years old Robert Ackermann, Hans Jürgen Hüttche from Warmbrunn the first prize in the competition for the new Heidenheimer City Hall. The prize money was increased from 7000 to DM 10 000 DM for the "outstanding performance", according to a Heidenheimer Local History . Although it turned out later that the young Architects would have no right to participate in the competition. Nevertheless, their design has been made under the direction of the runners in the competition, Stuttgart Jürgen Schwarz stated. was inaugurated the construction but only on 3 November 1973. The "Heidenheimer Zeitung celebrated one that begins as a monumental event," and the photograph of the atmosphere of a near-worship.

In the construction world magazine (No. 11 of 19 March 1973) describes the history of the town hall by the architect himself thus:

The City, today, about 51 000 inhabitants. The decision, a new town hall to build, was taken in 1960; employees of the city administration worked in nine different buildings. Construction work began in 1964. They were after the start of the 1 Section of the City Hall garage was suspended for financial reasons until 1968, the house was completed 1972nd
The design locates the focus of the administration in a nine-storey, x-shaped main building, lecture halls, group rooms and the rooms are very crowded in the first two floors, the representative space group invites from the side.
The main building - a two-flush system with a north and Südräumen - Office building has character. Circulation areas and corridors are directly exposed to sunlight and the office area of time. Rooms with large areas can be preferably prepared in the hallway ends.
In the 8th Upstairs are the staff dining room and a roof terrace available.
The enclosed space (including garage) is 62 995 m ^{3 were} , the cost of construction 18.745 million DM

What the building today can seem so incredibly violent, is especially cynical ignorance of any urban proportion . Heidenheim is not a very picturesque place, but there is an old town, from the Sixties and Seventies there was even more than now - because until recently it has been partly demolished a listed building with dubious justifications. At the about the same time as the Town Hall was built buildings on the main road can be seen sometimes at least the will to adapt to the historical forms: They often have gable roofs like the old buildings and are based on the amount.

None of the Heidenheim City Hall: Monstrous it dominates the environment, it also ignores the historical city mercilessly plan. Before the town hall is a kind of "space" which, as far as I know from my visits that, not to settle down and relax ever more inviting for any Events is used. He was probably one and brings forth only from the post-war so widespread dislike of the so-called block development, the real old-fashioned street corners. Someone once told me, that was not only an architectural fashion, but an experience of the bombing war: at that time would have been found in that corner building block if they are made, especially cause enormous damage. I can not check the truth of this statement.

The most obvious is the rape of the townscape of the town hall when the actual Heidenheimer landmark looks down into the valley: outstanding on which the city There is a bright stone in 1600 in Renaissance style arisings hunting lodge of the Dukes of Württemberg. Climb up the not too many tourists there it neither in this famous city yet easily accessible. From there they will see how the Rathausmonstrum the entire city skyline engraved on brazen manner. The huge concrete pile pushes even the optically actually much higher aside Paul's Church dominates the panorama and complacent. When I've seen for the first time, I thought, "Hopefully, at least some sort of corrupt for Construction or mayor deserves a lot of money with it - for this little nightmare least for . There was something good, "

But who knows maybe I am than outsider indeed the only one who feels this brutality so painful and Heidenheimer proud of their once considered so?" Outstanding "sincere Town Hall (" excellent "it is also - albeit in a different sense). This is supported but not much. The official tour of the city, invited to the website Heidenheim, City Hall is completely ignored. As the only modern building there, the resulting couple of years ago shopping mall "Castle Arcades for a trip recommended .

church by Robert Ackerman

The future career of the two architects is no indication that the Town Council was perceived as a brilliant throw or somewhere is. Robert Ackerman built in 1974 in the Resurrection Church In Aichen, a district of Leinfelden-Echterdingen. Hans Jürgen Hüttche seems never to have been involved in a building with a designer on the Internet was found to be noteworthy.

But there is hope of posthumous fame. The brutalist concrete monument found at German authorities new lover. The City Council of the City of Offenbach, which already won in his emergence as a "good building" in Hesse was, now stands as "successful example of exposed concrete architecture on the Hessian Heritage list.
