Nussberger Hof
The Nußberger Hof is a listed building at Lohmeyerstraße 20 in Saarbrücken .
history
The owner of the villa was the Saarbrücken entrepreneur Carl Lohmeyer (1847–1927), who acquired the Nussberg from the family estate of his wife Alwine. The architects of the building were Lohmeyer's son Karl Lohmeyer (art historian) and his cousin, the building construction department and government and building advisor Karl Hüter (1867-1920). Planning began in 1905, the building was erected in 1906 and a garden wall was built in the following year.
After the owner's death in 1929, his son inherited the house and lived there until his death in 1957. Lohmeyer bequeathed the Nussberger Hof to the city of Saarbrücken, which, however, rejected the inheritance. The house and park fell back to the Lohmeyer family, who again bequeathed the building to the city. The latter sold the castle, which had fallen into disrepair due to the long vacancy, in 1982 to a private individual who renovated it comprehensively.
architecture
The Nussberger Hof was built in neo-baroque forms with a mansard hipped roof and rises above a rectangular floor plan. The building is constructed axially symmetrically. Both long sides have a central projection . The risalit on the garden side has French doors on both floors which lead to a balcony on the ground floor. There is also a console-supported balcony in front of the doors on the upper floor. Both balconies have wrought iron railings. The upper floor of the risalite accommodates three more windows and the gable accommodates two more windows, which are crowned by a coat of arms in the gable field.
The rusticated basement level with segmented arched windows ends with a surrounding cornice. The building sections on both sides of the risalit each have three window axes with high rectangular windows, the profiles of which are lavishly decorated. The mansard windows are also designed as segmented arched windows and adorned with an oval in the curved roof .
The two central projections, each with a final composite gable, are triaxial. The risalit on the street side takes up the portal in the middle axis of the ground floor with blown carnies arch , above which a wall field with ornamentation and coat of arms emblazoned. The portal can be reached via a two-flight staircase with a wrought-iron railing. Rusticated pilasters frame the risalit on both floors and can also be found on the corners of the ground floor. The ground floor pilasters have Ionic capitals and those on the upper floor Tuscan capitals.
Originally the villa had a terraced mountain garden, a park, a chestnut meadow and a kitchen garden, which covered around 7400 m². In the building there was an extensive art collection, which mainly went back to the son of the client, but also included paintings and antique furniture from old family property.
