Buchholz-Kleefeld

While more or less magnificent farmhouses have been preserved in Buchholz, which still retains its village character, the country house district on the edge of the Eilenriede features stately middle-class villas, which were further supplemented by the construction of the Kleefeld garden city (1928).

The Köritz house on Pinkenburger Gang is the oldest dated farmhouse in the town. The two-storey building from 1619 with timber framing underneath shows narrowly set half-timbered uprights on the farm gable, which project over the lintel. The headbands close off the upper compartments with pointed arches. Above the Groot Dör is the inscription "Godt der Here bewahre dieses Haus ...". May your wish come true.

When many middle-class families moved out of the confines of the old town and into the countryside, a "country house district without a building wideness" was created behind the striking Petri Church (1902) around Fichtestrasse from 1894 onwards, based on plans by Gerhard Aengeneyndt, which only allowed terraced houses with front gardens. To "enliven the façades", porches, bay windows, balconies and loggias were prescribed. Different eaves heights, gable extensions, dormers and turrets created a varied roofscape. In addition, the street corners were particularly emphasized with corner gables and tower superstructures.
