House Lange in Tübingen

The Lange Haus, designed as a country house style villa at Mörikestrasse 1 in Tübingen, is the work of the painter, graphic artist, designer and architect Bernhard Pankok (1872–1943). Konrad Lange had the building built between 1901 and 1902, thereby laying the foundation for Pankok's career as an architect.

In the house, the country house idea and Art Nouveau architecture combine to create an outstanding work of art. Under a roof that was drawn down over three floors to the mezzanine floor, Pankok brought together a variety of materials and shapes into a large whole: typical Art Nouveau windows, railings forged in “organic” tendrils, half-timbering, carved posts on the loggia and sculpted pillars. The all-round artist Pankok also designed the entire interior (doors, paneling, curtains, wallpaper, lamps, furniture) right through to door and window handles. The house, until then in family ownership, was sold, renovated and split into condominiums in the 1990s. Part of the fixed inventory is still in the original.

The gable roofs on the crooked hips are very unusual in Tübingen and the surrounding area. This gives the house the edge of a mansard roof when viewed from the gable end. From the eaves side, you can't see these gable roofs through the ledge and the mostly usual perspective from below. So you can easily mistake the roof for a hipped roof.
