Architecture and history
The large villa was built in 1898 for the reindeer and former industrialist Georg Lindenbein based on a design by the architect Friedrich Staeding . It is designed in the neo-Gothic style. The building is crowned with battlements , a stepped gable , tower bay windows and polygonal bay windows . The facade is made of ashlar . The roof covering decorated with diamonds is striking .
The design of the property enclosure is based on the city wall.
At the time of construction, the house was equipped with new technical equipment. The building has already been electrified. A separate power generator was installed for this. In addition, the building received central gravity heating . The various bathrooms in the building already had running hot and cold water. There were specially made three-dimensional tiles in the bathrooms. Elevators and several mouthpieces were built into the house between the stately and official rooms. As one of the first buildings in Quedlinburg, the house soon received a telephone connection . The construction of the house was completed in 1904.
The representative building was the location of parties and receptions. The Lindenbein family owned the house until 1941. The building survived the Second World War without major damage. In 1945 the Soviet headquarters was established in the villa .
In 1965 the house became the seat of the Kaiser & Co. weaving mill . The weaving mill, which employs 70 people, installed heavy equipment and machines in the villa. For this, balconies were removed and parts of the facade damaged. In the course of this use, there was also major damage to the interior. The wooden ceilings and floors were damaged. Wall paintings and stucco work destroyed. During this time there was hardly any maintenance work.
After a few years, the villa was converted into the House of Crafts . This use lasted ten years until the villa became the house of German-Soviet friendship .
From 1989 the villa was empty. There were break-ins, thefts and vandalism , which led to considerable losses in the interior furnishings. In 1995 the Wobst family took over the property. The building was renovated over a period of six years. During this time, the overgrown park was restored and the original route was established. In the 12,000 m² park there are still some trees from the time the villa was built. The park has the largest ginkgo tree in the area and old black pines and spits .
Today's hotel has twelve rooms, a restaurant, a cafe, a wine cellar and a bar. There is a large hall with a staircase leading to a gallery. In addition, many wall paintings, tiles and fireplaces have been preserved. The neo-Gothic woodwork in the area of the stairs and on the wooden ceiling in the great salon is remarkable. In the basement there is a vault called a chapel .
