Fährstrasse 13 (Rostock)
The house at Fährstraße 13 in the Rostock district of Gehlsdorf , also called Villa Moennich , is a listed building from the 19th century.
History and description
The Rostock businessman and shipowner Theodor Burchard bought a Büdnerei in Gehlsdorf on July 18, 1873 . In 1882 he had a villa built on the property. He died the following year. According to the entry in the land register on June 11, 1883, the property passed to his widow Helene. This sold it on August 10, 1887 to the physicist and painter Paul Moennich . Moennich had a park laid out, which is no longer part of the property on which the villa stands, and provided it with hot air central heating of his own invention. After Paul Moennich's death in 1943, the property passed into the possession of his son Paul-Detlof Moennich (1889–1967), who worked as a company doctor in the Neptun shipyard during the day and ran a private practice at Fährstraße 13 in the evening.
In 1960 the Moennich family left the GDR and moved to Hamburg-Wandsbek ; the villa and park became the property of the city. The building was later used for a long time as the “Regenbogen” children's villa.
The two-storey villa with a three-storey tower was built on the model of Italian tower villas. It was built at some distance from the street, so that there was a spacious front garden and space for a veranda in front of the entrance area. This veranda is covered with ornate tiles. The roofs of the villa - on the north and south-west side there are separate saddle roofs over the protruding rooms - rest on lugs and protrude far. All-round cornices structure the facades. The winter garden on the western corner of the villa has a polygonal facade; there is a stained glass window at the back of the house. Some of the windows from the construction period have been preserved, and wooden ceilings, doors and a wooden staircase inside the villa also date from the time the building was built.
