Cäcilienstraße 3 (Heilbronn)
The house at Cäcilienstraße 3 in Heilbronn was the director's villa of the Cluss brewery . The two-storey, rectangular brick building in the style of historicism was built in 1900 by Theodor Moosbrugger , who also built the director's villa for the Ackermann twisting mill . The Cluss director's villa is a final structural testimony to the industrial prosperity of the turn of the century on Rosenberg in Heilbronn.
location
The residential building is located on the site of the former Cluss brewery between the public prosecutor's office and Tangente Südstraße, where the Stadtvilla Neckarterrassen Heilbronn residential complex was built in 2003 according to plans by the architect Otto Steidle . The house is located on Cäcilienstraße, which was laid out after the city fortifications were demolished in 1809.

This existed until 1982, when Dinkelacker obtained the majority of the shares. The former brewery director's villa is reminiscent of the Heilbronn entrepreneurial family Cluss , along with other listed buildings in Heilbronn, such as the Wilhelmsbau designed by Heinrich Cluss (1792–1857) and the Villa Faißt , which was inhabited by Henriette Cluss (1831–1902) .

description
The house is a "two-storey, rectangular brick building " with a sloping southwest corner on the ground floor and a polygonal tower tower above. The building in orange-colored exposed brickwork was erected without any plastering , whereby emphasis was placed on the decoration of the facade on "richly decorated window frames " and a "profiled cornice" on the upper floor and in the roof zone.
The architectural historian Joachim Hennze describes the main portal of the Cluss director's villa in particular: “ The main portal is adorned with side pilaster strips and arched gables, which culminate in a tondo with the image of the beer god Gambrinus ”: The main portal flanked by pilaster strips shows a protruding ornament as the upper end in the form of an ornamental gable with a round decorative field of a relief , a medallion or a tondo . This has been provided with the head of Gambrinus . The depiction of the beer god Gambrinus in a round decorative field, a tondo, indicates that the owner and resident of the villa is a director of a beer brewery .
Art historical significance
The house built by Theodor Moosbrugger is a “ typical Heilbronn building from the end of historicism ” and shows the “ entire spectrum of building around 1900 ”: “The combination of stone and brick [...] is an artistic medium with which the architect associates Knows how to evoke buildings from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance ”. The polygonal tower bay on a richly profiled console and the main portal with the side pilaster strips and round gable with tondo are reminiscent of Renaissance motifs. Medallions or tondo were often decorated with the heads of Roman emperors during the Renaissance . Here Theodor Moosbrugger provided the tondo with a portrait of Gambrinus, reminding of the client, the founder of the Cluss brewery in Heilbronn.
These artistic means indicate the " lush variety of styles in historicism " and the prosperity and wealth of the once influential family of entrepreneurs.
