ZHU Wan Ji is 60 years old. He has lived in Wei two road 19 for 58 years, and in the middle 2 years he went to the army. Although the building itself and living conditions are far inferior to the newly built high-grade communities, in the heart of Zhu Wan Ji, he has already been inseparable from this. The building in the yard was built in 1903. It was originally the dormitory of some German executives who managed the Jiaoji Railway and later became the headquarters of a large Japanese enterprise. In 1950, the unit assigned the house to the father. After I was born in 1953, I had been living in a small courtyard. Later, when I was a soldier for 2 years, I was assigned to work in Ji'nan after demobilization. " Zhu Wanji told reporters, after 110 years of the outside of the house is exposed to wind and rain, the damage was more powerful, but the interior of the house is no different and new. The foundation of the house is very deep, very reliable, the design is very humane, and there are some stone decorations on the outer walls. From every angle, the houses show different states. Although it has been 110 years, wooden floors, wooden staircases, and new ones have never been boring except for some lacquers. Listen to the elders say, the wood in the house is all white pine, a very valuable timber. There are only 9 residents living on the two weft No. 19 courtyard, but there are 25 households in the courtyard 6 years ago,
later, the reporter walked into the two storeyed building in the middle of the courtyard. In the corner of the room, there is a fireplace with a height of more than 2 meters, under which there is a stove for wood or coal, and there is also an observation port on the hearth, which is very ingenious in design. There is also a fireplace in the corner of the adjacent room, so that the two rooms are warm in winter. The structure of each building is very similar, like our home with the kind of more primitive bath, the toilet and the toilet, although some dirty, but at the time it was the most advanced. Zhu Wanji said.
but the current situation of old buildings is not optimistic. "Now the empty houses in the yard are usually lack of maintenance, the glass is broken, the roof is also seeping, and the water pipes are often blocked." There are many cracks in the armrest of the two storey building in Zhu Wan Ji, and the top of the pillar supporting the staircase has been broken. Every time it goes up and down the stairs, it feels a little unsafe. "
three years, a minor repair, five years a major repair, minor repairs only the outside of the wall, the walls of the building to paint, dredge the water pipe, the overhaul is both inside and outside repair, including the roof, wood floor, and so on, very good maintenance." Zhu Wanji said, but later due to some reasons, the buildings were not maintained in time, resulting in serious damage.
expert: unique, it is worth protecting
. Li Ming, director of the Ji'nan Institute of archaeology, told reporters that the German building group, No. 19 weft two, is an important witness of the old commercial port culture in Ji'nan. At that time, Jiaoji Railway "executive" living in the house, is a symbol of China's railway construction, is unique throughout the country.
"and the house still has a good western style fireplace, which is a great feature and is worth protecting later generations." Li Ming said that these German buildings were built in a specific historical period and at a specific location and had certain historical significance. Moreover, as close to the railway station, the No. 19 hospital can be well protected as a point of railway culture, which is a valuable asset of the archaeological circles in Ji'nan.
Li Ming said that the relevant departments must distinguish between the building land and the ancient buildings, and not destroy the few ancient buildings for the sake of construction. Only by protecting these ancient buildings can we make Ji'nan's deeper details and enrich Ji'nan's urban culture.
