Allee in Detmold

In 1800, Princess Pauline, after examining the building trades of the time, determined "that nowhere was construction slower, more expensive and less good than in Detmold". The government councilor at the time, Johann v. meen Under his supervision and based on a draft by the Chamber Council J.C. Gerke began building the house at Allee 1 in March 1818 as a counterpart to the Neustadt, which had existed on the other side of the Friedrichstal Canal for around 100 years. Instead of supporting the builder with money, as is usual, another way of financing was chosen to relieve the government coffers: 2000 tickets were issued at 5 thalers each, the main prize was the house. The building, which was completed in the spring of 1819, was won by farmer Noltemeyer from Bremke, who did not move into it, but sold it to the Antze council for 5,500 thalers.

The avenue in Detmold is a great local recreation area. Enjoy nature and take a nice stroll.

Great wide bike path under trees. These offer shade and protection from the rain. There are many benches along the avenue for a rest. Close to nature on the outskirts of the city! Great
