New life for the Office of the Office: Refurbishment and cultural center planned!

Breite Straße, 16515 Oranienburg, Deutschland - In Oranienburg something is happening! City chief Alexander Lasesicke has grandiose plans for the historical office captain's house on Breite Strasse. This impressive building, which was built in 1657 under the reign of the Elector Louise Henriette, is not only the oldest house in the city to Oranienburg Castle, but also faces a comprehensive change. Lasesicke emphasizes the importance of the building for both the history of the city and for future use.

is planned to integrate the tourist information into the office captain's house and prepare the upper floor as office space for tourism and culture Oranienburg gGmbH (TKO). However, these ambitious plans are subject to extensive renovation, which the city will invest around 1.5 million euros in order to master the current damage such as crumbling plaster and strong cracks on the stucco ceilings. The last tenant, the Chamber of Commerce and Industry (IHK), left the building in 2001, and since then the Office of Office has been waiting for a revitalized future.

a piece of history

The Office Hauptmannshaus is more than just a mere building; It was town hall from 1851 to 1923 and served as a home and inland navigation museum as well as as a district museum from 1935 to 1957. It was given its name from the highest official, the official who led the administration and control of Oranienburg and the surrounding villages. A very special grade has the back front of the building, which is interpreted at the point of view of the castle park and is considered its show side. High -ranking noble men stayed there, which earned the house the addition "Kavalierhaus".

Alexander Lasesicke also plans to redesign access to the castle park. The previous entrance has only been temporarily used since the 2009 State Garden Show. A new entrance could give the official captain's house an additional quality and strengthen the connection to the area. The inclusion of the adjacent backyard, which borders on the castle park, is an important aspect of the planning.

on the way to implementation

The plans for the move of the tourist information and the office space for TKO are currently still in the balance. The financing for the redesign remains uncertain, and so far there are no secure funding. However, the city hopes that creative solutions can be found in order to make the Office of the Office again a lively center of public life in Oranienburg. In view of the historical importance that the city leader attach to the venerable walls, one thing is clear: there is still a lot of work in the Argen, but the people in charge have already proven!
