ADAC-House

ADAC-House Main façade

ADAC-House

1907 1908

Main façade


This large residential building, with a roughly U-shaped floor plan, can be considered a good example of Art Nouveau. It was designed in 1907-08 for the building contractor Christian Böckler by the Fürth architectural firm Peringer and Rogler. The massive-looking building was constructed of reinforced concrete. The front section is connected to the side wing by articulated corner bay windows; the left bay window is oval in plan, the right one round. The upper section of the first bay window floor is polygonally broken, creating a beautiful "undulation" of the roofs. The building sits robustly on a one-and-a-half-story base with rusticated stone cladding; in the left wing, the base rises to the second floor. The central section of the front building is clearly emphasized: the round-arched entrance has a wide surround, and on the first floor, a kind of loggia with round arches opens. Above it are sculptures by Johannes Müller depicting the seasons and stages of life. In keeping with Nuremberg tradition, only the roof with its ridge lantern stands out, reminiscent of older houses in the old town, such as the Toplerhaus. Until 1920, the building was owned by the Halle-based insurance company IDUNA, then it was sold to the factory owner Adolf Baer. In 1940, it was acquired by the German Reich. In 1963, the ADAC (German Automobile Club) was listed as the owner, and in 1994, the Castell Bank moved into the building, which has remained an important eye-catcher on the edge of the old town.

The central section of the front building is clearly emphasized: the round-arched entrance has a wide surround, and on the first floor, a kind of loggia with round arches opens. Above it are sculptures by Johannes Müller depicting the seasons and stages of life. In keeping with Nuremberg tradition, only the roof with its ridge lantern stands out, reminiscent of older houses in the old town, such as the Toplerhaus. Until 1920, the building was owned by the Halle-based insurance company IDUNA, then it was sold to the factory owner Adolf Baer. In 1940, it was acquired by the German Reich. In 1963, the ADAC (German Automobile Club) was listed as the owner, and in 1994, the Castell Bank moved into the building, which has remained an important eye-catcher on the edge of the old town.

Summer


This large residential building, with a roughly U-shaped floor plan, can be considered a good example of Art Nouveau. It was designed in 1907-08 for the building contractor Christian Böckler by the Fürth architectural firm Peringer and Rogler. The massive-looking building was constructed of reinforced concrete. The front section is connected to the side wing by articulated corner bay windows; the left bay window is oval in plan, the right one round. The upper section of the first bay window floor is polygonally broken, creating a beautiful "undulation" of the roofs. The building sits robustly on a one-and-a-half-story base with rusticated stone cladding; in the left wing, the base rises to the second floor. The central section of the front building is clearly emphasized: the round-arched entrance has a wide surround, and on the first floor, a kind of loggia with round arches opens. Above it are sculptures by Johannes Müller depicting the seasons and stages of life. In keeping with Nuremberg tradition, only the roof with its ridge lantern stands out, reminiscent of older houses in the old town, such as the Toplerhaus.
