Description

Introduction

Building 1-26 stands free-standing in a wooded environment on the west side of the eastern of the two north-south running roads of Klein-Heidekamp, roughly between numbers 1-24a/b and 1-28. The roof ridge stands approximately at right angles to the road and extends roughly from west-northwest to east-southeast. Building 1-26 is an officers' dwelling with barn or garage created in 1940-1941 as a 'Regelbau' and at macro level forms part of a large military airfield structure from the years 1940-1945, at meso level of a scattered complex of buildings arranged in a village-green-like arrangement, and within this at micro level of a loosely grouped cluster of buildings and ancillary structures. The ancillary garage or barn (A 11) located on the south-west side of the building has been enlarged considerably in relatively recent times, while retaining parts of the original masonry, but falls outside the object protection.

Description

Single-storey OFFICERS' DWELLING constructed with approximately 50 cm thick external masonry and partly with a crawl space, on a rectangular plan and covered by a gabled roof, slightly outswept at the bottom and laid with muted Tuiles du Nord tiles, between pointed gables, with a small wooden dormer in the northern roof slope and in the southern slope a brick chimney and two plastic roof windows. In the gable-ended eastern main facade, on the left an access opening under a tile-hanging roof edge, with a step of two treads, and a wooden lattice door with three small panes arranged one above the other and a fanlight divided into four; on the right two windows under a tile-hanging roof edge, with concrete sill, in which above are four-pane drop windows with glazing bars, and below double two-pane (drop?) windows with glazing bars; under the sill fitted with sheet steel shutters with an hourglass motif painted in green and white. At attic storey level two small rectangular windows with four-pane drop windows, both under a semicircular relieving arch and with brick-filled arch field. The gable-ended rear wall executed mirror-image; access opening fitted with a renewed garden door. The northern, right-hand long wall with on the left two small window openings with brick sills and centrally one window opening with concrete sill, in which above is a four-pane drop window with glazing bars, and below double two-pane drop windows with glazing bars; under the sill sheet steel shutters, fitted with an hourglass motif painted in green and white. The left-hand long wall with two comparable window openings. All frames and windows renewed in plastic, imitating originally present detailing. Box gutters; white trespa wind vanes. The interior contains a number of components characteristic of the period of construction, including a fireplace of glazed anthracite-coloured brick, and doors.

Valuation

OFFICERS' DWELLING, of general importance as a readily recognisable component of a military camp dating from the Second World War and established by the German occupier as part of a major military airfield, on account of: architectural-historical, urban-planning, military and cultural-historical and complex and ensemble values, which can be demonstrated among other things by the traditionalist building style inspired by local forms, by the components and details characteristic of the period of construction, by the artificially created village-green structure and the camouflage carried through to the finest details, by the coherence of and with the total military airfield concept and the spatial principal lines and components of the camp, and by the mutual affinity of the forms applied herein.
