Kornhäusel villa
_IMG_3684.jpg)
The Kornhäusel Villa is a country house in Vienna built in 1804 based on a design by the architect Joseph Kornhäusel . At that time the country house was still in the suburb of Ottakring , which today forms the largest part of Vienna's 16th district.
history
Between 1804 and 1810 the then little-known architect Joseph Kornhäusel built this country house on behalf of the former wholesaler Joseph Jenamy in a classicist style. The term "villa" is actually incorrect, as the house was embedded in a row of houses and was not built as a stand-alone building.
Joseph Jenamy had the property including a building in 1804 from his aunt Catharina Lavalier b. Jenamy inherited. In the second half of the 19th century, the Viennese councilor Georg Neumayer built a dairy on the property behind the country house . The country house became part of this business. The Wuerttemberg medical officer von Mineth expanded the dairy in 1880 into the “First Vienna Children's Milk Institute”. The “Kindermilchanstalt” had the task of ensuring animal husbandry and milk processing at the highest hygienic level for the time, and to deliver the milk specifically to the Vienna children's hospitals. After many vines fell victim to phylloxera in 1883 , the Ottakring farmers increasingly switched to dairy farming. From 1916, Josef Wegscheider was able to expand the dairy into an important dairy company.
What is now the oldest country villa in Vienna that is still in existence began to rot noticeably in the last decades of the 20th century until a new concept for the use of this monument was found. The country house could only be restored in connection with a modern residential construction project on the grounds of the former dairy, which was first presented to the public in 2005. The old wooden box windows, cassette cladding and panel parquet as well as the staircase paintings and the stencil paintings on the upper floor have been restored. The old tower staircase was also renovated. The premises around the old wooden veranda were initially used by a coffee house; today there is a Greek restaurant here. Alternative medical practices and an office community are located on the first floor . The S-shaped modern residential building on the site of the old dairy was completed at the beginning of 2008, the renovated Kornhäusel villa was presented in October 2008.
