history

The house was built in 1921 by Karl Stöhr as an entrepreneur's villa. Originally it was based on the neo -baroque style. In 1930 it was bought by Professor Wilhelm Brünings , an ear, nose and throat doctor who had the villa converted into a clinic. The renovation that Roderich Fick carried out from 1931 to 1932 gave the house its neoclassical exterior.

After Brüning's death, the ear, nose and throat doctor Gerhard Wolfram bought the clinic and had it expanded with an outbuilding based on the style of the main building on Irmgardstrasse. The main building and the auxiliary building were connected by a single-storey low-rise building, the main building also received a single-storey extension on its west side.

In 1987/88 the building complex was converted into an office complex. In the southern part of the original garden of the villa on Linastraße, multi-storey houses were built in 2000/01. Since 2006, the villa has been the seat of a patent law firm.

description

The main facade has five window axes, in the middle a staircase leads to a bronze-clad entrance door. There are dormer windows above the three central window axes, the middle one is considerably wider than the other two; in front of it, a stone statue of a reclining angel is mounted on a parapet.
