Paugasse 11

The house at Paugasse 11 is a simple building, but it reflects the sometimes very simple living conditions in the former Rosviertel. As a historic craftsmen's quarter, it still has buildings of very different construction periods and designs despite the loss of original fabric. The old building no. 11 probably consisted of two parts from the early 19th century. After demolition, it was rebuilt in 1975 using the parts of the façade that had been saved.

In contrast to most of the other reconstructed façades, no bluestone elements were added here, but the simple, brick window frames were restored. The windows on the right-hand axes were adapted to the other segmental arch windows. Only the door frames are made of bluestone. The reinstated façade anchors and the added round window on the second floor, which gives the impression of a historical change, also look authentic.

Paugasse needed structural changes to improve living conditions. Most of the façades were preserved and clad in front of the new buildings.

The entire block of houses between Paugasse and Rosstrasse was renovated by gewoge Aachen (housing association). The desired traffic-related widening of Paugasse was ultimately achieved not so much by demolishing and moving the old houses, but mainly by partially demolishing the backyard buildings on the opposite side.
