Description

Introduction

Building 42 stands detached on the east side of a spacious parking area for equipment on Groot-Heidekamp, on the west side of the north-south running access road of these parking areas, roughly between numbers 41 and 43 and directly opposite 41. The roof ridge runs from north to south. Building 42 is a garage with five double garage bays created in 1940-1941 as a 'Regelbau' for the Fahrbereitschaft, is at the macro level part of a large military airfield structure from the period 1940-1945, at the meso level of a complex of—at some distance from the accommodation buildings arranged in linear and village-like formation—buildings arranged in a rectangular geometric relationship, and at the micro level of a complex of functionally related buildings of similar function and form. The garage is nowadays in use in a comparable function and as a storage building. The ceramic roof tiles have been replaced by corrugated grey rapid-fit roofing panels.

Description

Single-storey GARAGE executed in fair-faced brickwork on an elongated, rectangular plan with a gabled roof between pointed gables. The east-facing front or side facade is divided by six white-painted brick wall mullions or piers into five double bays of equal width. The bays are closed off with two full-height facade, heavily executed, vertically boarded, wooden, hanging rolling doors. In each of the doors two windows divided into four panes by glazing bars. The western rear facade contains per bay two construction traces of infilled, circular, ventilation openings executed with a roll joint. The blind end facades are provided with white-painted wooden windbraces; a fascia gutter at the front facade; insulators for overhead power supply at the south facade. The whitewashed interior, of which the original lime layer is visible around the infilled ventilation openings, is divided by four approximately 1.25 m high brick and lime-sand stone partition walls into five double stalling spaces for ten vehicles, with above it an open wooden roof truss structure on the basis of principal rafters and purlins and without boarding.

Justification

GARAGE of public interest as a recognisable component of an army camp originating from the Second World War and set up by the German occupier as part of a large military airfield, because of:

- architectural-historical value through the traditionalist building style inspired by local forms and the execution and detailing characteristic of the building period,

- military and cultural-historical value as a garage in a garage cluster in the Groot Heidekamp army camp for the "Fahrbereitschaft",

- urban planning and ensemble value through the embedding in a garage cluster formed on a rectangular basis with vehicle parking areas, 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 herein.
