Haus Heusgen<br />
Krefeld, Germany<br />
Architect: Mies van der Rohe<br />
in the 1930’s<br />
Karl Amendt in 2001<br />
For decades the architectural significance<br />
of Haus Heusgen remained<br />
a well-kept secret. Until recently,<br />
when its current owner, architect Karl<br />
Amendt, revealed the iconic status<br />
of the building.<br />
Built in the 1930s, Haus Heusgen<br />
was designed by architect Ludwig<br />
Mies van der Rohe for the Huesgen<br />
family of textile industrialists. Following<br />
the death of the industrialist’s son,<br />
Amendt purchased the house and<br />
decided to give it a complete overhaul,<br />
before opening it to the public.<br />
“To me, it was very important to<br />
renovate Haus Heusgen in the sense<br />
of Mies van der Rohe. We were able<br />
to recondition a lot of the original<br />
items; however, I had to replace the<br />
bathroom fittings,” explains Amendt.<br />
“The Atrio two-handle mixer from<br />
<strong>GROHE</strong> fits in perfectly. It reflects the<br />
essential design elements of<br />
Bauhaus architecture, as if it had<br />
been designed especially for this<br />
ambience.”<br />
