The Kremer house is a building in Darmstadt .

History and description

The Kremer house was built in 1912 according to plans by the architect Wilhelm Koban . The client was Heinrich Kremer. The shape of the house in the Paulusviertel is atypical for southern Hesse . The design is indicative of Koban's designs in the period shortly before the First World War . At that time, Koban preferred simple, two-story house cubes with distinctive, hipped roofs that stretched far down . These buildings were based on the models of farmhouses in southern Germany. In Darmstadt there are several country houses with hipped or half- hipped roof , which Koban planned in this style.

Typical details of Haus Kremer include:

The building was badly damaged in World War II . In the post-war period , the Kremer house was largely reconstructed true to the original by Koban and Kremer. In 1958 a garage was added to the property . The enclosure consists of a picket fence typical of a country house .

Varia

The sculptor Lutz Brockhaus lived in the Kremer house .
