The Carl Bradtke Tenement is a historical habitation building located at Gdańska Street N°93, in Bydgoszcz.
Location
The building stands on the eastern side of Gdańska Street between Świętojańska street and Chocimska street.
It stands close to remarkable tenements in the same street:
- Villa Carl Grosse at N°84;
- Otto Riedl Tenement at N° 85;
- Villa Hugo Hecht at N°88-90;
- Tenement at Gdanska street 91;
- Hugo Hecht tenement at N°92-94.
History
The house was built in 1895-1896, on a design by architect Joseph Święcicki for a master stonecutter Carl Bradtke. Carl Bradtke worked also with Fritz Weidner for the erection of nearby building at N°91.
The house, from the beginning, had been thought as a rental building as well as a trading one with two wings merging at the rear. The initials of the first owner ("CB") appear in a cartouche set in an upper pediment. The address of the house was then "Danzigerstrasse 53, Bromberg".[2]
At the beginning of the 20th century, the tenement housed a bicycles dealer, Erich Krahn, (company "Patria").[3]
In the 1920s a patisserie (Polish: Piekarnia) had been run in the building by Emil Kobielski.[4]
Features
The building has a richly decorated facade with 2 small side gables, in which stands a gargoyle on a background of ostrich feathers. The architect created a functional complex of buildings centered around a rectangular courtyard enclosed at the back. A hallway allows to get the residential house located at the back of the garden.
The front building follows the Historicism style with references to Neo-Baroque and Rococo.[5] In the same area, Józef Święcicki also realized other edifices:
- Hotel "Pod Orlem" at Gdanska st.14;
- Oskar Ewald Tenement at Gdanska st.30;
- Józef Święcicki tenement at Gdanska st.63;
- Tenement at Gdanska street 86;
- Hugo Hecht tenement at N°92-94;
- Tenement at Freedom Square 1.
The building has been put on the Pomeranian heritage list (N°A/1126/1-4), on 5 June 1993.[6]
