Keetman House
The Keetman house (former address Briller Höhe 6 ) was a monumental villa in the Briller district in Wuppertal - Elberfeld , sometimes incorrectly written as Keetmann House . The villa is also known under the later name Villa Frowein or Froweinsche Villa , which should not be confused with Villa Frowein in Briller Strasse .
The villa built by the architect Emanuel von Seidl around 1900 in the modernized Bergisch style was demolished on May 11, 1981 , like the neighboring Engländer house .
At that time it was in the best structural condition, but in 1980 it was not recognized by the state conservator as a monument due to structural changes . Shortly after the resignation, new knowledge emerged that the classification may not have been correct. The villa was an example of home construction at the time.
The building owner of Haus Keetman was the consul and co-owner of the banking house J. Wichelhaus P. Son Alfred Keetman (1873–1957), it is the birthplace of the composer Gunild Keetman (1904–1990) and the photographer Peter Keetman (1916–2005). After that the villa was owned by Harald Frowein .
After the Villa Keetman was demolished, the “Building Owner Association Parkresidenz Briller Höhe” had an atrium built , according to their brochure a “luxury residential complex at Wuppertal's most exclusive location” in 1982/83.
