Former council/school building, a listed multi-family building in Friedrichsdorf.

Hugenottenstrasse 94, 61381 Friedrichsdorf – Residential and commercial building.

The building is a protected historical monument according to § 2 paragraph 1 of the Hessian Monument Protection Act and served as Friedrichsdorf's town hall and school building from its construction in 1788 until 1875. On the inside of the original, representative late Baroque double door made of oak, "student graffiti" from that time can still be seen. The building has been in continuous family ownership since 1907. It is a half-timbered house with plastered walls, in good condition. The side facing Taunusstrasse was completely renovated in 2020/2021, and the damaged threshold was replaced with a new one made of oak. Furthermore, the window frames and shutters were renewed. On the ground floor, there is an elegant entrance hall with a historical tiled floor from 1907; the elongated window with leaded glass above the front door allows for pleasant natural light. To the right and left of the entrance hall are spacious rooms with a small kitchenette, suitable for use as offices. For many years, these rooms were used by a law firm and an insurance broker. The ground floor features a single toilet (also with original tiled flooring) and a bathroom with a toilet, sink, and bathtub. The tiles in the toilet should be preserved, while the bathroom can be modernized and redesigned. Overall, original features from the building's construction period, such as the original doors and hardware, are still present and should be retained. The curved staircase railing, with its stylistic elements, also dates back to the house's construction and leads us to the first floor. Originally, the first floor housed the main meeting hall of the town hall. With the conversion to private ownership, walls were added, dividing the former hall into three rooms. Later in the building's history, walls were created and subsequently removed. Taking into account the building's structure and statics, it is possible to create new openings in the walls to design the rooms. The current access to the apartment from the staircase is not historically significant and can be removed. The first floor consists of a total of 5 rooms, three of which are interconnected due to the aforementioned conversion of the town hall hall into a private residence. The necessary modifications, as mentioned above, are possible and compatible with historical preservation regulations. Of the five rooms, one can be accessed separately from the staircase. Originally, this room was connected to the adjacent room by a sliding door. The door is still present, and the passage to the other room can be restored. Since historical houses from this era did not have bathrooms, the pantry located next to the kitchen on the first floor was converted into a small bathroom; the original pantry door has been preserved. The brown floor tiles are from the modern era, and replacing them with a more appealing color would significantly enhance the bathroom. The kitchen has been modernized with contemporary built-in units. From the kitchen, you can access the modern terrace, which can be redesigned in accordance with historical preservation considerations.
