New life in the listed rectory: six apartments are created!

Bruchhausen-Vilsen, Deutschland - architect Alexander Behrendt has acquired the listed rectory on Kirchplatz in Bruchhausen-Vilsen. The building, which has been near the St. Cyriakus Church for over 100 years, is currently undergoing a core renovation. Behrendt plans to create a total of six apartments in the rectory. The gutting work started four weeks ago, and the interior is currently presenting itself as a construction site with distant ceilings and non -load -bearing inner walls. These measures are part of a comprehensive renovation project to meet the requirements for modern living standards and at the same time to meet the monument protection regulations.

The Evangelical Lutheran overall church parish of Bruchhausen-Vilsen had sold the rectory because maintenance could no longer be financially to be financed. Until a year ago, the building was used both as a house and as a office, with some rooms empty. Behrendt was able to prevail against other interested parties with his usage concept and plans to set up three residential units on the ground floor and on the first floor with a size of 55 to 90 square meters. It is planned to combine the apartments if necessary to address a diverse tenant that ranges from pensioners to families to people with impairments.

accessibility and monument protection

A special challenge is the barrier -free design of the lower apartments for which a lift is planned. Access on the doorstep is currently too narrow for wheelchair users, but a solution has already been found as part of the monument protection. The district's monument conservationist has supported pragmatic approaches to maintain the appearance of the historical building, while modern standards are observed.

Behrendt strives to complete the renovation work by the end of May 2026. The standstill in the rectory has ended, even if an exact date for the first tenant can not yet be set. This revitalization of the listed building could also serve as an example of successful old building renovation, which is often confronted with challenges such as energetic renovation. Such projects are often attractive for self -users and investors because they offer a way to increase living comfort and at the same time stabilize the values ​​of real estate.

The conflict between monument protection and climate protection

In the context of renovations of listed real estate, the conflict between monument protection and climate protection is of increasing importance. While energetic renovation measures can contribute to improving energy consumption and thus increasing the use of use, they often have to be carried out taking into account the external appearance of the building. The "Efficiency House Monument" conveyor building block, available since April 2012, offers financial support for such projects and aims to promote renovations in terms of historical terms.

The energetic upgrading of monuments and old buildings is not only required by the monument protection authorities, but is also a crucial step in connection with the challenges of climate change and the need to protect resources. Such buildings can be preserved by supporting the German Foundation for Monument Protection and at the same time adapted to modern living standards.
