Description

The house stands on a plot of approximately 171 m² and comprises four apartments with a total area of approximately 200 m². Ancillary space on the ground floor of the side and rear building, no floor area specified. Utilities: water, electricity, and wastewater connected to the public mains. The water and electricity supplies have been newly installed. Heating still needs to be completed. The residentially used plot is oriented eaves-side and is built with a 3-storey residential building with standing masonry facing Ziegenmarkt, including a converted attic storey.

The side and rear buildings are used residentially on the upper floor, while the ground floor contains storage rooms and circulation areas. The building and boundary wall enclose a small paved courtyard. The plot is accessed via the street; vehicular access is not possible, and the entrance to the house is located in the side building. The plot falls within the scope of a legally binding land-use plan designating it as a "mixed-use area" and is classified as part of the inner development area pursuant to Section 34 of the German Building Code (BauGB). The property is listed as a heritage-protected building.

Location

Helmstedt is the county town of the Helmstedt district in Lower Saxony. The town lies between the Elm and Lappwald hills, approximately 40 km east of Braunschweig, on the border with Saxony-Anhalt. Helmstedt can be reached via the A2 motorway, which runs in close proximity and has three junctions (exits 61–63). Since 2005, the B1 federal road has bypassed the town in an east-west direction. The B244 and B245a approach the town from the north and south respectively. During the division of Germany, this was the location of the most important border crossing (Helmstedt checkpoint) between the Federal Republic of Germany and the GDR on the A2, as well as the western endpoint of one of the transit routes to West Berlin. The small, almost fully built-up plot forms a corner site at Albrechtsstrasse/Ziegenmarkt. Both streets are local access roads in the northern town centre, with Ziegenmarkt being one-way only. The surrounding development consists of closed 2- to 3-storey buildings in a closed construction style, some incorporating retail units. The town centre with its market square and town hall can be reached on foot within a few minutes.
