Description

Introduction

Building 1-19a/b c.a. stands detached in a garden-like plantation, against a wooded background, roughly between numbers 1-15 and 1-20, diagonally opposite 1-20, in the south-eastern quadrant of the eastward-angled northern end of the western of the two north-south running roads on Klein-Heidekamp. The roof ridge runs north-south. Building 1-19a/b c.a. is a double officers' residence with barn created as a 'Regelbau' in 1940-1941 and at macro level forms part of a large military airfield structure from the years 1940-1945, at meso level of a sparse complex of buildings arranged in brink-village fashion and at micro level of two somewhat set-apart buildings.

Description

Single-storey double OFFICERS' RESIDENCE built of brick with approximately 50 cm thick external masonry and partly featuring a crawl space, on rectangular plan and covered by a gabled roof with corrugated concrete tiles between pointed gables, with chimney in the roof ridge and with two roof dormers with raking zinc fronton in each roof slope. Lengthwise mirrored exterior with in the western longitudinal facade / front facade two times two window openings with concrete sill and provided with eight-paned double wooden casement windows below and four-paned sash windows above, all with sheet-steel shutters beneath the sill decorated with green and white painted hourglass motif; in the eastern longitudinal facade / rear facade two times two comparable window openings, with asymmetrically positioned between them two access openings with renewed garden doors beneath divided fanlight. Northern end gable with on left and right two comparable windows beneath cock-and-hen crest and centrally an access opening with two steps and cock-and-hen crest and provided with divided fanlight and lattice door, with three window panes placed one above the other.

Interior partly modernised and altered.

Valuation

OFFICERS' RESIDENCE, component of an ensemble of double officers' residence with barn, of general importance as a readily recognisable part of a military camp dating from the Second World War and established 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 can be demonstrated inter alia through the traditionalist building style inspired by local forms, through the components and details characteristic of the building period, through the artificially created brink-village 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 relationship of the forms applied therein.
