“I live in a gothic mansion on Baumanskaya.

(not saved). More recently, in the lane stood the building of the Lopukhin Bread Stores, founded in 1880 next to the goods yard of the then Ryazan, and now the Kazan station. Construction, which unfolded on the site of dilapidated and unsightly houses of 1826, was carried out intermittently for about 15 years according to the project of P. Chigrikov.

House number 2, number 4, number 6. In the center, a 3-storey building is an Experimental Optical-Mechanical Plant. The building has been preserved. The house on the right is also preserved, but only the 1st floor remains of it. This is what the house looks like now. Before the revolution, there was a merchant's butcher's shop here. Egorov Vasily Vikulovich. The house on the left number 6 belonged Koeppen Gustav Andreevich- to the director of the manager of the Moscow Association of Machines, Tools and Engines, he himself lived on M. Dmitrovka, and leased this site to a certain Zikhtikh to Oskar Bogdanovich(the house has not survived).


From the memoirs of Alexandra Vladimirovna Medvedishcheva, it is known that Patriarch Sergius (Starogorodsky) lived somewhere here in a small wooden house in Devkin Lane, she was the Patriarch's family doctor ( from the comments below it became known that he lived in house 6. The photo above shows the end of this house.).
By the way, I also found such a mention of Devkin lane: "An extensive home ownership of 2000 sq. sazhens at No. 4 in Devkin lane was bought in 1902 from a peasant woman A.P. Samtsova by a nobleman G. A. von Koeppen and rented it out joint stock company production of concrete and construction works Julius Alexandrovich Hook, merchant of the 1st guild.
Workshop on the territory of the JSC for the production of concrete and other construction works.

On the left side of this property, a plot of 200 sq. sazhen for the tenant O. B. Zikhtig, who built on it a brick building for industrial purposes (for workshops, a forge) and warehouses.".
House number 7 such a wonderful wooden house used to stand here (not preserved). Judging by the old maps, this site before the revolution belonged to the Anchor Insurance Company.


House number 11- the end of the house - the remains of buildings of the late 19th century. - beginning of the 20th century, a former factory of meteorological equipment.
Window, details.

House No. 13K1 - House,made in the so-called "brick style". Built at the beginning of the 20th century by a hereditary honorary citizen Pelageya Ivanovna Milovanova. The house is a kind of advertisement for Milovanova's goods - bricks, which were produced at her enterprise in the village of Kuchino in the east of the Moscow district.

House number 13S3 - old house with a damaged roof.

An interesting detail of home decoration, however, modern residents of the metropolis have found a use for it.

House number 18 - On the opposite side there is an unusual dilapidated bell tower of 1915 with three benches, decorated with the likeness of the Kremlin battlements - merlons, (architect N. N. Blagoveshchensky) is the only surviving building from the church of St. Catherine of the Old Believer community that existed here since 1872 in the house of the merchant I. I. Karasev.

Here I found old photographs where Karasev's house still stands. Now there is also a wasteland.
Former Devkin Lane. Photo 1979


In the photograph of 1987, the house of the merchant Karasev has already been demolished.

House number 20K7. Behind the Karasevsky site was the site of the Moscow Zinc Plant, which built in 1903 for its workers and the surrounding population "commercial" baths, or as they were more often called "devkin's baths" (architect D. V. Mikhailov), the building of which has been preserved - it is located directly opposite the former bell towers in the courtyard.

FROM now in the building of trading baths in the red brick part there is a disinfection station, and in the turquoise part there are jewelry workshops.

House number 20K2. The plot in 1901 belonged to Telegin Neofit Efgrafovich- hereditary honorary citizen. Apparently, it was later sold to the Zinc Plant.

Style - neogothic, a tribute to fashion. Entrance to the entrance. Details.

A stained-glass window has been preserved inside the entrance. Window. Details.

Mazyrin house author A.A. Morozov on Vozdvizhenka, better known as the House of Friendship of Peoples. He was fond of mysticism, spiritualism, believed in the transmigration of souls and believed that his soul was born in Egypt. The house in Devkin lane also looks very mysterious. Interestingly, there are only 3 apartments in it.
House number 28C2. Income house.
Wikipedia says that N.E. Zhukovsky, the father of Russian aviation, lived in this house 28. This is mistake. In 1880 it was Devkin Lane, and Zhukovsky lived in house number 28 on German (modern Baumanskaya) Street, now the house is located on the territory of the former TsAGI, and there is a museum of N.E. Zhukovsky, which now seems to be closed. I wrote about it here

House number 28\25.

From the memoirs of A. Kataeva-Wenger, the wife of the son of the writer Ivan Kataev - "Sasha (brother) and I rode the metro to the Baumanskaya station. My relatives lived there. It was a completely different Moscow - not the one that was written about in the newspapers and which was shown in the cinema - immeasurably far from the architecture of Gorky Street and Pushkinskaya Square, the Kremlin and the Mausoleum of V. I. Lenin. It was wooden Moscow - on one side of the metro is the famous German settlement with the guise of Peter the Great and with it the German market; and on the other (one has only to cross Baumanskaya Street), - the former Devkin, and now Baumansky Lane with the house of Metropolitan Vvedensky, known for his disputes with People's Commissar Lunacharsky, and with the old Devkina bathhouse. ".

Continuation -

"Baumanskaya" can be considered the center of Moscow: the next along the Arbatsko-Pokrovskaya line is the ring "Kurskaya", after one - "Revolution Square", where Red Square and the Kremlin are located. Once in the central part of the Basmanny district of Moscow, Baumanskaya is the main mode of transport for its residents, as well as students and teachers of the Moscow State Technical University. N.E. Bauman, located 15 minutes walk from the metro.

The station was opened in January 1944 and named after the Russian revolutionary Nikolai Bauman, although there were other options: Spartakovskaya or Razgulay. In the first case, they wanted to decorate the hall with paintings on the theme of the Spartacus uprising in Ancient Rome and statues of gladiators, and the second option is associated with the name of the local square, where the Razgulay tavern was located in the 18th century. The station was built very high quality, despite war time. The team of project authors was headed by one of the best architects in Moscow - Boris Iofan.

In 2015, it was closed for reconstruction, in 11 months the escalators were changed, a fourth was added, new turnstiles were installed, the lobby was renovated, and the hall and pavilion were restored. The vestibule and platform hall are recognized as objects of cultural significance, and the station as a whole is considered an architectural monument.

In the 17th century, a German settlement was founded in the area of ​​the current station, where, according to the royal decree of 1652, foreigners were to live. In Russia, all visitors who did not speak Russian were called "dumb" or "Germans", and among the inhabitants there were not only subjects of Germany, but also Dutch, English, Scots and other Europeans. Building on Baumanskaya st. (d. 35/1) adorns a colored mosaic panel with the inscription "German settlement, XVI century" in honor of the first foreign settlers who moved here, fleeing the raids of the Crimean Khan. Between st. Friedrich Engels and Ladoga there was a square with the German market. Peter I liked to visit the settlement, here he met the future military adviser and close friend Franz Lefort, the Dutch merchant and shipbuilder Franz Timmerman, and the Dutch shipbuilder Karsten Brandt. In the 17th century, flourishing begins: industry develops (it is here that the first manufactory in Moscow is built - the production of Albert Paulsen), the district begins to resemble a fragment of a European city with a beautiful embankment, clean streets, parks and gardens. In 1799 A.S. was born here. Pushkin. At the beginning of the 18th century, new factories appeared (Belavina silk, Ivanova tape), the Moscow nobility began to build palaces. One of them, Slobodskoy, passing from one owner to another, was later given over to the Educational Institution, then the Imperial Technical School and, finally, the Moscow State Technical University. Bauman. Most residential suburban buildings were wooden and burned down in a fire in 1812, and in the 19th century the appearance and old way of the German Quarter is a thing of the past. The streets are gradually overgrown with stone city estates and tenement houses, among which is the Karabanov House designed by M.F. Kazakova, city ​​estate Zubov, tenement houses of Rakhmanovs and Frolov (“Gothic”), buildings along the avenues of architects Sherwood and Rosenkampf, etc. In the 20th century, the era of brick housing construction continues, unique objects appear. Among them are the "Budenovsky village" on Bolshaya Pochtovaya street (built in the 1920s along Mikhail Motylev Avenue), 6-7-story Stalinist buildings of the 30s and 50s (along Spartakovskaya, Novoryazanskaya, Krasnoselskaya streets) and residential building of employees of the Aerohydrodynamic Institute (Bakuninskaya, 8) 1938, made in the style of post-constructivism. In the seventies and nineties, point panel and block 9-, 12-, 14- and 16-storey houses, solid 9-storey brick houses were added, but the district still retained the architectural appearance and way of old Moscow with low-rise Basmanny lanes, the remains of the German settlement , palace Lefortovo and Stalinist Empire style.

Developers and new buildings on Baumanskaya

In the 2000s, this unique historic district attracted the attention of high-end developers who brought to market projects with distinctive architecture and unusual housing formats: apartment complexes, manufactory-style buildings with lofts, and new-generation neighborhoods. The best of the first modern new buildings near the Baumanskaya metro station were created by several developers:

• The international concern, the main share of which belongs to the Israeli businessman Lev Leviev and which has been operating in Russia since 2001, is building a residential complex on the banks of the Yauza on the territory of the former weaving factory of M. Karyakin of the 19th century and the T. Schirmer & Co. The author of the project is the architectural workshop "Group ABV". The microdistrict consists of fifteen buildings from 5 to 17 floors high, located on a land plot of 5 hectares, it is planned to improve the promenade and build a pedestrian bridge across the river;
• The development company Coldy, operating in the premium residential and commercial segment, has implemented three luxury apartment complexes located next to each other: TriBeCa Apartments (named after the expensive and prestigious New York district, includes six buildings), Loftec (a nine-story building with panoramic windows and summer terraces) and Klein House (three buildings with loft apartments, including the building of the Klein tea-packing factory). All three objects are the result of the renovation of the plant of calculating and analytical machines;
• The developer "BEL Development" brought to the market the club complex "Gorokhovsky, 12" with apartments from 54 to 128 sq. m. The facades of the 7-storey building are finished with natural stone and decorative panels;
• The Brik group of companies reconstructed the building of the Avtomobilist Palace of Culture, built in the 1930s in the style of constructivism. The result is a complex with loft-style apartments with fireplaces, panoramic windows and French balconies. Their maximum area is 200 sq. m, and the height of the ceilings - from 5 to 7.5 m;
• The cooperative agro-industrial firm Interflora, which was engaged in floriculture and landscaping, presented one of the best new buildings near the Baumanskaya metro station - LCD, which received several professional awards at competitions. An ensemble of two 17-storey buildings in the Stalinist Empire style was erected along the avenue of the Honored Architect of Russia Alexei Bavykin, general contracting work was carried out by the oldest Moscow construction company"Mosfundamentstroy-6", the agency received the rights to sell apartments;
• The residential complex is a rare example of a large-scale comfort-class project with high-rise buildings from the developer GK, in addition, there is a site closer to the Aviamotornaya metro station, on the territory of the former Institute of Instrument Automation.

Traffic situation in the area of ​​the metro station

The main convenience and advantage of the location is the proximity of the center: the distance to the Garden Ring is less than two kilometers, the Yauza embankment is less than one and a half, to the Third Ring Road is about 400 meters. Four trams run along Baumanskaya Street, which can take you to the Kursk railway station and the Aviamotornaya, Krasnoselskaya, Highway Enthusiasts or Sokolniki metro stations. Buses will take you to the nearest metro stations or the Serp and Molot platform of the Kursk direction. A trolleybus stops two hundred meters away, running to Semenovskaya and Pervomaiskaya.

Infrastructure on Baumanskaya

The obvious advantage of the district is the educational infrastructure. Three minutes walk is the Institute of Languages, fifteen - MSTU. Bauman. Nearby is the Historical and Philological Institute of Moscow State Educational Institution and the Law University. Kutafina, comprehensive school No. 345 im. A.S. Pushkin. Nearby are shopping centers ("Elokhovsky Passage", "On Baumanskaya"), cafes, restaurants, supermarkets (Billa, Norman, Magnolia), banks, hotels and two theaters: pop and puppets. Two hundred meters away is the Yelokhovsky Cathedral, where A.S. Pushkin.

Ecology near the metro station

On ecological maps, the Basmanny district, and with it the station. m. "Baumanskaya" fall into the zone of unfavorable or even extremely unfavorable eco-situation. The location northeast of the city center contributes to a year-round influx of not too clean air from the prevailing western and southwestern winds. Additional pollution comes from the exhaust gases of vehicles from the central streets, railway stations and depot of three stations: Leningradsky, Yaroslavsky and Kazansky. But the former industrial zones no longer pose a danger: instead of old factories and manufactories, residential and commercial complexes are being built, which has a positive effect on environmental situation: a residential complex is being built on the territory of Serp and Molot, on the lands of the former soap factory "T. Schirmer & Co" and the weaving factory of Mikhail Karyakin - "Residences of Architects".

Summary

Location in the Basmanny district of the Central District of Moscow, on the historic streets of Nemetskaya Sloboda and among neighborhoods with modern infrastructure and a well-established transport network, determines the high cost of real estate and the interest of developers. New residential complexes are dominated by business and premium class projects with apartments, loft-style proposals or comfortable club houses. Apartments in new buildings at Baumanskaya are more expensive than at many neighboring stations. Prices for new complexes at Krasnoselskaya and Ilyich Square are approximately 18% lower, at Elektrozavodskaya and Sokolniki - by an average of 37%. At the same time, near neighboring ring metro stations located closer to the center, prices are naturally higher: at Komsomolskaya - by 13%, at Kurskaya - by 26%.

The progress of construction of new buildings near the metro station Baumanskaya

On our portal you can read regularly updated reviews, watch video reports from construction sites, get acquainted with the progress of construction, study the reviews of people considering new buildings near the Baumanskaya metro station in order to buy an apartment, participate in the discussion, ask your questions to the experts of the portal and the developer.

“If you have never been to Andronovka, the station of the Moscow District Railway, then this is not surprising: normal person unlikely to ever get there.

It is located in an industrial zone on the very outskirts of the Lefortovo district: the modest Andronovskoye highway, endless concrete fences, kilometers of barbed wire, blind iron gates, the building of the former Krypton factory, kilometers of almost lifeless railway tracks, warehouses, warehouses, warehouses and stray dogs nearby - Nischenka river.

In the photograph, a complex of (once) residential building and station building built in 1905-1907, it's like Walt Disney was allowed to draw a couple of his cartoon characters in the corner of the painting "The Last Day of Pompeii."

The station itself is now practically idle, a beautiful Gothic water tower has been demolished, plastic pipes coming out of the station building - and these are pipes for pneumatic mail - are hardly used.

Openwork house on Leningradka

“On Leningradsky Prospekt, in the area of ​​the Third Transport Ring, a house was built in 1940, which was supposed to become an exemplary standard residential building for an ordinary Soviet citizen. That is, it is built quickly and inexpensively from ready-made factory concrete blocks, but at the same time it is decorated and does not look like a typical project, but has its own, so to speak, face. It is designed and built in such a way that it gets its own name - Openwork House.

These carved lattices close the balconies and loggias, so the house looks surprisingly solid, although the residents complain that because of these ornaments, made, by the way, of concrete according to the sketches of the famous Russian graphic artist Vladimir Favorsky, the apartments are a bit dark.

In general, this is a clear example of how, if desired, you can build inexpensively and very beautifully.”

House of Apricots

“On Malaya Krasnoselskaya Street, not far from the Third Ring Road, there is the Abrikosovs’ house built in 1905 with factory premises. The Abrikosovs are the very hereditary Russian confectioners.

One of the Abrikosovs, Alexei, is the author of the Duck Noses sweets, which many people know as Goose Feet, and he also came up with what is now called Kinder Surprise - sweets with a gift inside (a toy, a mosaic, a postcard); chocolate bunnies wrapped in foil are also his invention.

The Abrikosov confectionery was so popular in pre-revolutionary Russia that the name of the brand can be found in books famous writers that time.

“... Handing his aunt a small bag tied with twine and attached to the top button of his coat, he said:

And let me present this to you for tea. From payday. "Cancer necks" Abrikosov. I know you love." - V. Kataev, "Farm in the steppe."

Gothic house on Baumanskaya

“A rare genre: “Gothic Moscow”. Profitable house of Anton Frolov, built in 1914. Now no one will say for sure why Frolov decided to build his profitable house in this style. Most likely, due to the fact that historically this area was saturated with Lutheran churches, Dutch mansions and other buildings of cosmopolitan, so to speak, architecture that are rare for Moscow. This, of course, is about the German Quarter, where foreigners have preferred to settle since ancient times. Now little is left of those buildings, but the beautiful Frolovsky house has been preserved, and it is located on the former Nemetskaya, now Baumanskaya street.

And separately it must be said about the architect of the building - this is Viktor Aleksandrovich Mazyrin, a brilliant architect of his time, a man of broad views and, as they would say about him today, a typical representative of Global Russians.

Viktor Alexandrovich was born in a small Chuvash village, brought up without parents, and eventually became one of the strongest Russian architects. He traveled a lot and seriously around the world: not only Europe, but also Japan and Egypt; was fond of mystical teachings and "considered himself the reincarnation of the builder of the Egyptian pyramids." Such a broad outlook and cultural experience apparently allowed him to think so broadly that he could equally well design the neo-Gothic house of Frolov, the Orthodox Church in Kuntsevo, the Russian pavilion at the exhibition in Paris, and it was he who designed one of the most outstanding and famous houses in Moscow - the famous Morozovsky mansion on Vozdvizhenka.

Based on all this, let's hope that today Fabio Capello will also think more broadly and still release Dzagoev with Kerzhakov in the starting lineup.

Not a Kremlin gas station

Former Metrostroy hostel

“This building built in 1906 in 1st Samotechny Lane was once used as an office building and hostel for the Metrostroy. Several recent years it was abandoned and was preparing to quietly leave for another world, but suddenly, during the reconstruction, it was quite decently restored.

But the main thing - yes, this is not an optical illusion - its ends and rear facade were sheathed with sheet copper, and now, when the rays of the sun fall on these walls, the area is immersed in a ringing orange haze, which, by the way, looks very strong.

And if someone thinks: “The next developers have swelled billions into another business center,” then in fact this is the new building of the Gulag Museum.

Mosenergo Tower

“This is the tower that can be seen in the back of the Waterfront House; it is located on the territory of the Central Electric Station of the Moscow Railways (now Mosenergo-2) built before the revolution.

Once this tower was the most beautiful structure of the station, it was built so that it resembled the Kremlin's Spassky Tower: it had a high spire and a beautiful clock.

Then, as usual, everything was broken.

Coat of arms of the Iraqi Businessman's Club

“On the gates of a residential building built in 1938, which stands near the Krasnopresnenskaya metro station, you can see two identical coats of arms of the already defunct Moscow football club Presnya.

Founded back in 1922, the club has changed many names; was also a club at a local manufactory, called "Trekhgorka" (late 1920s), and at the very beginning of the 1990s, the first private football club in Russia, having received from its new owner - a businessman of Iraqi origin Hussam Al-Khalidi - the name "Asmaral ".

In general, the history of this club, which has been based on Presnya since the 1920s, although it does not shine with great football achievements, is quite interesting. Here, in particular, many well-known football stars played and trained.

Now this club is gone; commercial tournaments are held at its historic small, cozy and very central Krasnaya Presnya stadium, and only true football fans and these two coats of arms on the gates of the building on Konyushkovskaya Street keep the memory of this club.

That Sailor Silence

“This is our Moscow Silent Hill - a huge abandoned house, beautifully painted with symbols of the runic alphabet, behind broken windows which sometimes flickering vague shadows. Immediately behind the house is the Matrosskaya Tishina prison, to the left of it is a psychiatric hospital, and a tuberculosis hospital is a 10-minute walk away.

This area has been known since the time of Peter the Great - “Tishina: a sanatorium-type settlement for the rehabilitation of retired sailors, many of whom had mental disorders. According to this "silence" the street on which it is located is named.

In general, both the house and the surroundings are a real beauty for true connoisseurs of other beauty, besides, it was built in 1927 and is an architectural monument; macabre house.

Monster Plant on Golden

“Man-made beauties in the photo are part of the Salyut Research and Production Enterprise, which produces aircraft engines. Moreover, only a small part of these buildings, stretching along the street, got into the frame.

And these huge metal monsters are, as they say, a kind of exhaust pipes and silencers for testing in the workshops of the plant of huge aircraft engines.

All this beauty, which is not clear to everyone, is strengthened by two factors.

1. The street on which it is located looks like this: on the one hand IT stretches, on the other - an endless string of metal garages and Railway right behind them.

2. And the name of this street is Golden.

With all my love for abandoned buildings and strange places I recognize Zolotaya Street with these lovely buildings as the most brutal (of the public) places in Moscow.”

House of Merchant Lomakina

“On Gilyarovsky Street there is an excellent example of Moscow Art Nouveau - the profitable house of the merchant Lomakina, and it was built according to the project of the architect V.S. Maslennikov in 1909.

But even in Siberia, he found an opportunity to do what he loved: these, of course, were no longer buildings in the Art Nouveau style, but participation in the construction of factory buildings, teaching, and also designing apartment buildings - for example, the 100-apartment building on Krasny Prospekt, well-known to residents of Novosibirsk .

But let us return to this house itself, where quite recently there was an embassy of the Republic of Mozambique, and now, in my opinion, it is no longer there; however, you yourself can see how rich it is in details, in the syncopated geometry of windows and forms, in short - excellent, as if it had escaped from Baumanskaya Street somewhere.

Stables of oilman Mantashev

“An outstanding baroque house lurks in residential areas near the intersection of Leningradsky Prospekt and the Third Ring Road.

This is the building that in 1912 the architects Izmirov and the Vesnin brothers built for the wealthy oilman Leon Mantashev. And this is not Leon's grand mansion or a theater there, this is an ensemble of stables - Leon was a passionate lover of horses, owned horses that participated in the most prestigious competitions of that time. If you look closely, then on the facade of the building, at the very top, you can see graceful L and M - according to the first letters of the name of the owner of the house.

The street where this amazing house was built is called Skakovaya: horses, races, the name Skakovaya - all this is more than logical, because the Moscow hippodrome is just a couple of hundred meters away.

It's time to move on to the traditional sad part of the post "What is there now?". Now it's complete darkness. Two more buildings of the ensemble once stood on the sides - they were destroyed: a car service and a car wash adjoin on the side, in the courtyard of the building there is a strange structure resembling an unfinished factory workshop or a giant hangar. In the courtyard of the ensemble of stables, the building of the jockeys' residential house has been preserved, but it is problematic to see it behind a heaped pile of scrap metal and various rubbish.

The tenants of the building range from ballet studios to various offices. In general, another somewhere surprising, somewhere already, alas, a typical Moscow story.

And visit the house if possible: Viennese baroque among typical five-story buildings - it looks very strong.

Former tram power station

“On the gloomy, almost non-pedestrian street Leninskaya Sloboda, which is located in the area of ​​the Third Ring, there is such a beautiful building - this is the former Second City Tram Electric Station, built in 1916. Now there is an institute with an unpronounceable name.”

Melnikov's garage

“Walking around the southwestern part of Moscow, you can come across this magical building - almost a castle. This is the Horse Yard - a complex of outbuildings of the old Russian estate Cheryomushki-Znamenskoye. It was built approximately in the last quarter of the XVIII - early XIX century under one of the numerous owners of the estate S.A. Menshikov.

The photo shows only the entrance group of the complex, the Horse Yard itself occupies a rather large territory and really looks like a fairy-tale castle, and if only there would be some great child Center so that the girls there imagine themselves to be princesses, and the boys to be knights, but no.

If the main part of the Cheryomushki-Znamenskoye estate, which is located across the road, across Bolshaya Cheremushkinskaya Street, is occupied by the Institute of Theoretical and Experimental Physics, then these buildings belong to the Institute of Helminthology.

Flat house on Presnya

“An excellent architectural attraction is the Flat House on Presnensky Val. The neighboring house, by the way, is also “flat”.

Built in 1910, a two-entrance residential building is actually not flat at all, of course. Just land plot, which was allocated for its construction, was of such a shape that the architect had to make one of the sides of the house in the form of a beveled corner, from here - if you choose the right angle - the illusion arises that the house is flat, as if drawn on a sheet of plywood.

prison parapet

“The inconspicuous gray parapet in Novospassky Lane does not seem to be something significant and interesting, but if you don’t know that this is the rest of the fence of the famous Taganka. The one where "all the nights are full of fire."

The Moscow Provincial Criminal Prison (Taganskaya Prison) was built in 1804 by decree of Emperor Alexander I. Personalities ranging from Savva Mamontov to the man who became the prototype of Ostap Bender have been here. Here Chaliapin sang in front of the prisoners.

The prison was demolished in 1958. Now only part of the fence remains - this parapet - and the former administrative building of the prison, in which the offices are located.

And where people languished in dungeons for a century and a half and, in particular, General Vlasov was hanged, now there are quiet courtyards, ordinary five-story buildings and a kindergarten.

Robocop from "loaf"

"Beauty from the courtyard of the Moscow Art and Industry Institute - new, just about ready to go to the city in a raid against demolition historical buildings symbiosis of Robocop and a fighter from the Captain Power and Soldiers of the Future squad. Five meters high.

Pay attention to the elegant decision of the chest of this monster - with a slight movement of the student's hand to protect the steel heart, the front part of the body of the UAZ car, aka "loaf", set off.

Savvinskoye Compound

“Relatively recently, until 1937, one of the most beautiful buildings in Moscow adorned the very beginning of Tverskaya Street. Then, however, it was moved and covered with a huge residential colossus - house number six on Tverskaya Street.

And this building - the Savvinsky Compound, built in 1907 - is now located deep in the main street of the city. You can get acquainted with it freely by going into the arch of house number six. It is possible and necessary: ​​the Savvinskoye Compound is a house of magical beauty.

Staircase in the mansion on Malaya Nikitskaya

This mansion on Malaya Nikitskaya is one of the most important architectural sights in Moscow: breathtakingly beautiful, preserved interior items and furniture, a secret chapel on the top floor. And you can get here absolutely freely and even for free.

The estate on Baumanskaya (historically German) Street was probably built in the middle of the 18th century, no later than the 1770s. The ensemble of the manor, standing along the red line of the street, consisted of the main house and two symmetrically located outbuildings, connected to the main house by arches of the gate with white stone columns. The left wing was lost in the 1960s. One of the outbuildings in the depths of the property has also been preserved.

There is an assumption that the author of the estate project was an outstanding Russian architect. The drawing of the facade of the estate was placed in the Albums of the Particular Buildings of Moscow, compiled by M.F. Kazakov at the beginning of the 19th century. and included the best, according to the architect, private houses in Moscow.

The decorative design of the facade of the main house dates back to the post-fire period: the house burned down in 1812 and was restored by 1815. The semicircular central risalit of the building, decorated with double Corinthian pilasters and elegant stucco bas-reliefs with plot composition; the facade on the sides of the risalit is also decorated with stucco bas-reliefs and a vegetable frieze. Inside, the vaulted rooms of the basement and - partially - the design of the front interiors of the first third of the 19th century have been preserved.

At the end of the 18th - beginning of the 19th centuries. The owners of the estate were the noble family of Karabanovs - first Fedor Leontyevich Karabanov, a brigadier, who at one time was the vice-governor of Tver and the provincial marshal of the nobility. Then the estate was inherited by his son Pavel Fedorovich, who became famous as a connoisseur and collector of antiquities. He devoted almost his entire life to collecting antiquities: church utensils, medals, coins, paintings and engravings. In his collection there were more than 3,000 portraits of historical figures, a rich library of ancient books and manuscripts. His collection, known as the "Russian Museum of Karabanov", was housed in his house on Petrovka (Petrovka, 23), where he moved from his father's estate on Nemetskaya Street and where he lived most of his life.

Pavel Karabanov bequeathed his collection to the state. The collection of antiquities was transferred to the Armory, the portrait gallery - to the Hermitage, most of manuscripts and books - to the Imperial public library. Some of Karabanov's works were published after his death: "Historical stories and anecdotes recorded from the words of eminent people", "Lists of remarkable Russian faces"; his historical notes and stories were also published in the Russian Starina magazine, and the genealogical information he collected was used in compiling the Russian genealogical book.

After the Karabanovs, the estate on Nemetskaya Street passed to the family of the Ural breeder Ivan Yakovlev-Sobakin, who restored the house after the fire of 1812. The last owner of the estate was the nobleman Nikolai Alexandrovich Zankovsky, a member of the Russian Photographic Society, the owner of the ENZE company, which produced photographic plates.

AT Soviet years the estate housed various institutions, now the main house houses a bank.

The profitable house of the peasant Anton Frolov has been little studied - almost no information has been preserved about him or his owner, even old photographs. The name of its architect Viktor Mazyrin makes the building remarkable. He is one of the most sought-after authors of Moscow Art Nouveau, a traveler and mystic who called himself the reincarnation of the builder of the Egyptian pyramids. Mazyrin's most famous work is Arseny Morozov's mansion on Vozdvizhenka, stylized as Moorish architecture. Frolov's house is also a stylization, but under the gothic style.

The choice of such an architectural solution is typical for the Basmanny district, where the German Quarter was once located. In the same spirit, the apartment building of the Basmanny Association on Novaya Basmannaya, the apartment building of the Myasnitsky Apartment Association in 1st Basmanny Lane and other buildings that contemporaries criticized for their impressive size, unnatural for the outskirts of Moscow at that time, were made. The difference between Frolov's house and them is in scale. The building has one entrance and four floors, while there are only three apartments: the basement is occupied by the now closed Nemetskaya Sloboda cafe, so the floors are counted from the second.

The German settlement, if you look at the social composition of its population, has always been a kind of refuge for the persecuted. In the 17th century, it was picturesquely populated by foreigners in order to minimize contacts between Europeans who arrived in Russia and the rest of Moscow. Then, with late XVIII century, Old Believers begin to seek shelter here (Directly opposite Frolov's house are the ruins of the belfry of the Catherine's Church of the Old Believers-Belopopovtsy. - Approx. ed.), who were then called none other than schismatics and oppressed. At the beginning of the 20th century, many merchants lived in the German Quarter, whom government didn't really acknowledge it either. They were given the opportunity to get rich, but the merchants had no political representation and no opportunity to influence political decisions.

Anton Frolov's house on Basmannaya Street illustrates several phenomena characteristic of the Silver Age at once. Firstly, its architect is a seeker who was fond of otherworldly things (spiritual séances were in vogue in pre-revolutionary Russia). Secondly, the construction of the building with the aim of romantically emphasizing the past of the area. Only the chambers of Anna Mons behind three fences and a bit of archeology remained from the real German settlement, so such buildings console the viewer - a person in the 1900s actively supported the memory of the former settlement. Thirdly, the figure of Frolov himself fits perfectly into the world of the empire - he, as a former peasant, did not want to buy guild certificates (documents that gave the right to conduct trade and obtain a merchant title. - Note ed.), but owned a business that fully allowed the construction of tenement houses.

For Moscow, such buildings are generally uncharacteristic - if an apartment building was erected in the Neo-Gothic style, then it was usually increased at least to six or seven floors. (for example, the apartment building of Zavarskaya-Troitsky in Potapovsky Lane. - Approx. ed.). Three-four-story houses are the lot of discreet red-brick architecture. Frolov, with his construction, refuted absolutely all the laws of the market of that time.

About the apartment

My husband and I moved to this house from the Far East in 1999. They worked out their work, retired and moved to the capital, because children studied here. Well, in general, in the Far East, pensioners are trying to go where the climate is better. When we bought an apartment, there were no new buildings in Moscow. Then people basically bought up the killed communal apartments, settled, made repairs - and resold them as separate apartments. So it was in our case.

Our apartment is four-room - before that it was considered five-room: one more room was formed due to plywood, with which it was fenced off.

We don't have a sense of luxury. But there is a feeling that you live in a private, in your own house. See how quiet we are? No one walks back and forth, there is no such noise, although in our apartments there is a street on all sides. There are no neighbors - only above and below, and this is only in one apartment, on the third floor. With us - only from above, for the inhabitants of the fourth floor - from below.

About the house

From this house, one can imagine what kind of peasants we had before the revolution - not at all poor. Anton Frolov was no longer able to use this apartment building, because a revolution had taken place. According to rumors, after 1917 the Revolutionary Military Council or some other organizations of this kind were located here, and then they simply made a residential building out of it. It has no protected status. On the one hand, this is good - there are no prohibitions, sometimes in such a house you cannot even hammer a nail. And under the demolition of the house can get even with a security status.

Previously, as far as I remember, there was a back entrance to the house from the yard. Then it was probably walled up. At the same time, when the building was built, there was no central heating in it. Already at Soviet power they tried to hold it - and since the walls here are a meter thick, niches were cut through them and pipes were let in there. Which, in general, is not very good for the house. And then, when they did a major overhaul, they did not lay pipes in these niches again, they closed them and laid new ones on top.

Sometimes students of architectural universities come to us to look at the stained-glass windows and the staircase - it has remained since pre-Soviet times. It really needs to be painted black. And then you can often see artists sitting opposite with easels. So the house is interesting. Therefore, it would be necessary for the city authorities to restore it - this is the decoration of Baumanskaya Street.

About neighbors

The family on the fourth floor lives the longest in this house - they moved in here in the early 90s. But none of the residents of the old communal apartments are left here. We have a community of residents, of course - only three apartments in the building. It's not a problem for us to sign some kind of statement - it's not some apartment building where you can't find neighbors. Neighbors from the fourth floor mainly ask for help with the repair of the apartment, from the third - with the repair of the facade, but I write complaints about the entrance. Such a division of labor.

There is a story on the Internet that this house is private and belongs to one person. This is not true: in fact, ordinary pensioners live quite modestly here. The house has four owners, three - individuals, in fact, the owners of apartments, and the fourth - the city, the government of Moscow. On the top floor live a veteran labor grandmother, she is already over 90 years old, with her granddaughter and son. A few years ago, due to the fact that the management company did not cope with its duties, their roof began to leak, the ceiling beams rotted and a collapse occurred. It's good that no one was at home, otherwise everyone would have been killed. The house was built thoroughly, the ceilings were made of huge beams, in my opinion, of larch, but it was assumed that the house would still be looked after - and this was not done - and they collapsed. This family is not wealthy, so in the end the state made repairs at its own expense. I don't know how long this repair will last.

About repair

The facade of the house was renovated last year. We were constantly arguing with those who were involved in this, so that they would restore the turrets. They said: "No, we will only make walls, and that's it." As a result, only that part of them, which is visible from the street, was repaired. And from the side of the roof, these turrets remained dilapidated. Although there was some work there - just grease the bricks with mortar.

Management Company He doesn't really take good care of our house. There is a decree of the Ministry of Construction that the repair of the entrance should be carried out at intervals of three to five years. In our house, the entrance has not been repaired for more than ten years. We have complained about this many times. When we moved in, there was stucco molding below - with cupids, very nice. When they did the last repair of the entrance, they knocked it all down, painted it over with paint, which is now crumbling. Here you can do everything very beautifully - hang lanterns, paint the walls normally, restore the decor. They know this very well, but they are delaying the time, saying: “We went to you, we wanted to do repairs, but the tenants didn’t let us in, they said that we shouldn’t, and in general it says on the Internet that you have a private house". I say: “Where is the refusal paper? You don't have anything." They: “No, but still do it at your own expense, no one wants to do it.” This is very strange, because we continue to pay for the current and overhaul. We really could have chipped in a long time ago and done everything at our own expense, why do we need their services then?

This is how houses are brought to an emergency state without repairing them, and then, as Sobyanin says, "what to repair when it's easier to demolish." So old Moscow leaves - and the city becomes faceless. Although such houses as ours give it color.

About the area and transport

Once Basmanny was an industrial area, there were a lot of factories here. Now they have been turned into offices. When we drove here, it was a very quiet street. The trams were almost empty. And now it's very busy here. There is always a queue in the metro - in the evening, in the morning. But in general, from the point of view of transport, it is very convenient here. Everything is close. We don't have a car, so this is important for us. There are three stations nearby, and the city center, and you can easily get to any airport, the tram again. The tram under the windows confuses someone, but we are used to it - we even like it.

About Moscow

During the time that we live here, Moscow has changed a lot. Formerly center It was dirty, there were cars parked on the sidewalks, but now it's much nicer. We have it all nearby: you take the subway - and in ten minutes you are on Red Square, there is a good walking area, with cafes, restaurants and theaters. They did the same at Baumanskaya: the small Ladozhskaya street became a pedestrian street, small cafes were opened on it with the expectation of students - there are a lot of them.

We rarely go to places like this anymore. We usually choose Doctor Zhivago, where the food is very good. The same Rappoport in "" opened. There is a "" next to us, but I don't really like it yet. Been there several times - they have not yet reached the desired level, they need to work on it.

About the restaurant on the ground floor

The Christmas trees were planted by our neighbor when he was making a restaurant on the ground floor. The restaurant was not noisy, because there were not many visitors in it. We liked his courtyard - green, with a fountain. But there was no profit, so the courtyard was tiled, trying to make a street veranda, there was less greenery, but there was no more profit. Then he closed.

It was very rare for guests to stay late. There was no music. Sometimes the guests left the restaurant and said goodbye to each other for a long time. It did not bother us much - well, make a comment.

About brownie Proshka and the good aura of the house

The house is 100 years old and has a very good aura. When psychics came to us (we did not specially invite them, it was just that our acquaintances had such people) - two people independent of each other, they said that this building has a very positive aura. And also - that a brownie lives with us, as in old houses, his name is Proshka. He lives in the kitchen under the refrigerator. All our cats always hung out there: they climbed there, sniffed, just sat nearby - because, as we know, cats are friends with brownies. Why is the cat allowed into the house first? Because a brownie drives by. Our Proshka loves red wine and millet porridge.
