Title
House entrance no. 10
Description

Entrance No. 10 to the building at Güterstraße 4-10 in Biel, according to plans by architect B. Clottu, was completed in 1944. The entrances are repeated in their basic form: lateral cheeks, which serve as windbreaks and look like flanking columns to the outside, and a stylised entablature frame the entrance. The framing is supported by an ornamental frieze that runs rectangularly to the side and above the double-leaf entrance door. Above the lintel, inscriptions in various languages attest to the end of the construction period. The entrance area is sheltered by a generously projecting thin stone slab, which protects those entering from the rain. In the middle of the floor slab sits a recessed metal grate through which shaken-off water or snow is collected. The three entrances to this street front (nos. 6, 8 and 10) differ in their details: the decorative frieze at entrance no. 10 is formed by tiles with floral vines on a light blue background. The architrave-like lintel with its flat face and rounded edge to the underside bears the gold-coloured inscription 10 in raised relief and in smaller lettering on the left NOVEMBRE and on the right next to the number (house number) the year 1944 (end of the construction period).

The building at Güterstraße 4-10 in Biel/Bienne, designed by architect B. Clottu, was completed in 1944. It commemorates the close friendship between the two cities of Biel and Vienna. The architect alludes to the formal language of the Karl Marx Hof in Vienna, for example, with the tower-like elevations with the flagpoles.
