House Vionville
The Vionville house at Kaiserswerther Strasse 200 in Düsseldorf - Golzheim was built from 1893 to 1894 by the architects Klein & Dörschel for the painter Theodor Rocholl . The gable, two-story house was originally called the Rocholl house after the client. It was built in the German Neo-Renaissance style and reflects the construction methods, shapes and materials of a rural architecture that romanticizes country life with a round corner tower with a bell-shaped dome, bay windows, natural stone plinths, half-timbering, window sheds and crooked hip. The house thus also referred to the village structure of Golzheim that still existed at that time. "The house has been adapted to its rural surroundings in terms of both the layout and the exterior architecture."
