history
The secret building officer Hermann Cuno worked in the government council in Koblenz from 1890. As a representative residence, he had a villa built in Pfaffendorf in an exposed location on a rock spur above the Wendelinus Chapel . House Cuno, named after him, had a farmyard at the back, on which a larger extension was built in 1926. This extension was recently demolished when neighboring apartment buildings were being built. The building was renovated in 1988/89, 2000 and 2006-2009, with the original exterior facade being restored and the interior modernized.
construction
The house Cuno is a late historical castle - like villa. It was designed as an additively towering structure, the individual parts of which are grouped around the high stair tower. Each side has a gable with a crooked hip . The lower floors show exposed masonry or plaster with walls made of sandstone in gothic shapes. The top floor in each case was built in half-timbered houses and takes up late medieval and early modern forms. The front of the stairwell serves to overcome the great difference in height to the street and has a protruding half-timbered floor with a floating gable . The coats of arms of Koblenz and Pfaffendorf are placed above the main entrance . In front of it, a staircase made of basalt ( Mendiger Haustein) leads up to the entrance. In the roof area, the spherical ridges and the ventilation dormers on the staircase porch have been preserved and restored.
