description

The listed villa in the Swiss style "with elements of the villa architecture of the Italian style" stands on a spacious corner plot with old trees. It is a two-and-a-half-storey building including the expanded gable roof storey , which faces the Augustusweg without the gable . In the gable of the house there is a figure in sgraffito technique . In the eaves there is a gable with a balcony along with a board carving. The inscription on the house reads: “MDCCCXLVIII Providentiae memor MDCCCLXX” ('1848 remembering Providence 1870').

In front of the western street gable of the villa, on the left edge of the street crossing, there is a two-storey porch from 1890 with pilasters and a generously glazed upper floor as a studio, created as a wooden veranda. The porch is in turn supplemented with a small, single-storey extension with a terrace and iron stairs to the garden.

On the property boundary to the west there is a single-storey coach house from 1887 with a pilaster-structured gable wall. There is a connection between the coach house and the main building.

history

The villas of the two Ziller brothers after their death, 1912. The meadow in the foreground is Oberlößnitz

Three years after founding their joint construction company, Moritz Ziller and his brother Gustav Ziller set up a company headquarters in Lößnitz in 1870. On a stately corner piece of land on Hoflößnitzstraße, they converted a basic building from 1848 by their father Christian Gottlieb Ziller into a villa as a residential building. The building is listed in the Dehio as a fine example of Swiss style. The outbuildings accommodated the space for the design office, the company management and the archive.

In 1896 the “business premises” received a telephone connection to the company's own sawmill in Lößnitzgrund , the dairy .

Moritz Ziller died in 1895. The successful building contractor bequeathed his share of the joint company assets to his brother Gustav, who received the young widow Elli Bertha Wilhelmine, nee. Kannenberg (* 1869) had to look after her little daughter Hanna until she later remarried. The house remained the business premises of the construction company "Gebrüder Ziller" . After brother Gustav's death, his widow Marie ran the business, supported by the long-standing architect Max Steinmetz as technical manager. After Marie Ziller's death in 1910 and Max Steinmetz's death in 1911, the local builder Alwin Höhne took over the company. In 1915 the house belonged to the daughter of Moritz Ziller, Hanna Ziller, who had since moved to Danzig. Höhne lived in the ground floor as a single tenant, from where he also ran the company. The two upper floors were rented. Höhne moved into his own house in 1926 ( Haus Höhne im Bergblick 2).
