Description

Introduction

Building 1-11 stands detached against a wooded background, generally between number 1-10, 1-12 and 1-17, on the eastern side of the eastern of the two north-south running roads and approximately opposite the T-junction of the northern connecting road between the two north-south running roads on Klein-Heidekamp. Building 1-11 is a military building created in 1940-1941 as a 'Regelbau' and is at the macro level part of a large military airfield structure from the years 1940-1945, at the meso level of a scattered complex of buildings arranged in a hamlet-like arrangement, and within this at the micro level of a loosely grouped cluster of buildings.

Description

Single-storey, with approximately 50 cm thick external brickwork and in part executed with a crawlspace, brick BARRACK, on substantially rectangular floorplan and covered by a saddle roof curved at two sides and angled slightly at the base, with corrugated grey tiles; centrally in the ridge standing approximately at right angles to the connecting road one, and in the western roof slope two brick chimneys. On the western long side / main facade on the left an outbuilding under an attached lean-to roof with two windows with double two-light casement windows, fitted with green wooden shutters. Western long side on the right two window openings with concrete cill, in which glazing-bar divided double wooden two-light casement windows below and four-light fanlight windows above, and below the cill with sheet metal shutters with green and white painted hourglass motif; eastern long side with four similar window openings. Northern gable with on the left two similar windows under a neck gable and on the right an access opening under a neck gable, with step with two treads and fitted with four-light fanlight; modern door. At attic level two small windows with four-light casement window. Southern gable similar. Box gutters. The interior is partially modernised - among other things with dropped ceilings - and it contains in the northern part a hairdressing salon. Alongside this some components characteristic of the building period, such as door frames, doors, stair and painted wall panelling.

Valuation

BARRACK, of general importance as a 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, by reason of: architectural-historical, urban planning, military and cultural-historical and complex and ensemble values, which can be demonstrated among other things through the traditionalist building style inspired by local forms, through components and details characteristic of the building period, through the artificially established hamlet-like structure and the camouflage carried through to the finest detail, through the coherence of and with the total military airfield concept and the spatial main lines and components of the camp, and through the mutual affinity of the forms applied herein.
