Description

Introduction

Building 1-27 c.a. stands free-standing in a wooded environment, roughly between numbers 1-22 and 1-29, approximately halfway along and on the south-west side of the road which forms a diagonal connection between the two north-south running roads at Klein-Heidekamp. The roof ridge stands at right angles to the road and extends roughly from south-west to north-east. Building 1-27 c.a. is an officers' dwelling with barn 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 dwellings and ancillary structures.

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 hipped roof, fairly steep and outswept at the bottom, laid with muted Tuiles du Nord tiles, with in three roof slopes a relatively small wooden dormer with a backward-sloping zinc pediment, in which two four-pane windows and two small plastic roof windows, and a brick chimney in the fourth, north-east facing long roof slope; in the south-west long roof slope two chimneys.

Gable-ended north wall / right-hand side wall with on the left an access opening with fanlight and two treads and on the right two comparable window openings.

Valuation

OFFICERS' DWELLING, forming part of an ensemble of an officers' dwelling and associated barn, 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.
