History and structure of the house
Around 1900 Heinrich Metzendorf had the house built for himself and his family in his typical country house style. It is a single-storey building with a gable end, with a high basement made of red exposed sandstone . The white, irregular grouting of the sandstones is particularly striking. The roof is designed as a steep hipped roof with beaver tail covering . The central entrance to the building is on the gable side . Above it is a shingled bay window on a wooden console. In the hipped roof is a dwarf house with a gable roof . To the south there is a large dwelling. In 1904 an annex with a round arch was built to the north. Individual sandstone elements show inconsistent ornamentation influenced by Art Nouveau.
