history

The two-part three-storey villa with a T-shaped floor plan and a flat roof , with red stone views , was built as a residential building from 1927 to 1928 according to plans by the architect Ernst Becker for the director of the Focke Museum Ernst Grohne (1888–1957).

In the 1920s Bauhaus style, the flat roof, which was not common at the time, was criticized and discussed. The cubes and the emphasis on the horizontal with the help of the brickwork strips made it one of the few preserved and exemplary buildings from this time.

In 1945 the US military temporarily confiscated the house and Grohne lived in the Riensberg house, part of the Focke Museum. Today (2014) the house is used for residential purposes.
