Description

The house is located on a hill in a remote part of Neumühle. The terraced side of the house faces southwest. The upper floor is slightly set back and is framed by the tower-like narrow facade areas. The doors to the four apartments are set on the narrow sides. The second main side of the house faces northwest. The modern appearance of the house is achieved not only by the flat roof but also by the corner windows. The corner rooms on the first floor do feature a small roof for a visual appeal. Since the sun almost never shines on this side, the roof can not serve as a sun protection.

History

The house was built in 1928/29 by Paul Schraps. Very close to the house, quartz porhyr was mined in the Kuhberg mine, today part of the lake Kuhbergbruch. It is conceivable that the apartment house was built for miners and their families.

People colloquially call the house Streichholzschachtel (matchbox).
