Denkmal Karlstadt

Situated near to the historic town walls of Karlstadt is just a few steps away from the River Main stands the listed building from 1576. It has been extensively renovated and converted into a café and two apartments. The renovations, which took several years, included restoring structural members of the badly damaged historic building, such as floors and roof timbers, and strengthening the central load-bearing wall on the ground floor. The years of hard work paid off. The apartments feature many historical details like old doors and casement windows with antique glass, traces of wall paintings or rustic roof beams. Modern installations such as the individually designed, multifunctional kitchen elements harmonise perfectly, while their lightness and clarity offers a pleasing contrast.

The two-room apartment on the first floor is designed in muted colours, while the attic flat takes up the bold palette of the staircase. The newly created staircase has been designed as a three-dimensional, walkable artwork in collaboration with the artists Thomas Lange and Mutsuo Hirano. The contemporary artwork, which integrates historic elements such as an antique sliding window and spolia of plastering, allows the house to finally arrive in the 21st century.
