Description

Introduction

Building 5 stands detached against a wooded backdrop, east of the northern branch of the southernmost road fork on Groot-Heidekamp, directly to the east of building 4. Building 5 is a dentist's building constructed in 1940-1941 as a 'Sonderbau', and it forms part of the camp hospital; originally so-called 'Entgiftungsgebäude'. The roof ridge runs approximately from northwest to southeast and is perpendicular to the road at some distance. At macro level it forms part of a large military airfield structure from 1940-1945, at meso level of a scattered complex of buildings arranged in a more or less linear village pattern, and within this at micro level of a number of buildings grouped in a green-common structure.

Valuation

DENTIST'S BUILDING belonging to the hospital, of general importance as a rare and readily recognisable component of a military camp dating from the Second World War and set up by the German occupier as part of a large military airfield, on account of: architectural-historical, urban planning, military and cultural-historical and complex and ensemble values, which may be demonstrated inter alia by the traditional building style inspired by examples in part local and in part Rhenish, by the components and details characteristic of the period of construction, by the artificially created green-common settlement structure and the camouflage carried through to the finest detail, by the coherence with and within the total military airfield concept and the spatial main lines and components of the camp, and by the mutual relationship of the forms applied herein.
