Haus Rehfeld, Early 20th-century building in Delmenhorst, Germany.
Haus Rehfeld is a two-story residential building with a plastered facade and steep pitched roof at the intersection of Bismarckstraße and Roonstraße in Delmenhorst-Mitte. The roof shapes the building's profile, while the facade with its window openings and simple design shows how early 20th-century houses were built in this area.
Wilhelm Rehfeld, an organist and church music director, commissioned architect Heinz Stoffregen in 1911 to design this house in a developing villa district. It was the only project Stoffregen built along Bismarckstraße.
The building shows design ideas from the early 1900s that appear in its gabled form and architectural details. It stands as an example of the reformed building style that architects of the time applied to residential areas.
The property sits at a central intersection in the city, making it easy to reach on foot. The front garden and fence are part of the historical inventory and should be viewed from a distance.
The house was temporarily converted into an advertising agency between 1986 and 1989 before returning to residential use. This brief commercial adaptation shows how buildings in urban areas adjust to changing needs.
