history

Villa Sommer (left, 1901). Next to it, Villa Steinbach and on the right, Haus Sorgenfrei (above the left edge of the left cares-free garden house you can still see the dragon temple ). Further up the Bilz sanatorium and the mouse tower

From 1897 at the latest, the property was owned by Frida Sommer, after whom the house is ultimately named, a daughter of the banker Albert Kuntze, who died in 1892 . The building was designed by the architect Oskar Menzel in 1899/1900 . Frida's husband, the grammar school teacher Karl Sommer († 1899), died before the house was completed. Frida lived in the house with her second son and died there in 1945.

The architect Menzel built about the same time the villa summer for Frida's sister Thekla that the paternal house Albert Berg had inherited, this 1898 barockisierend order, while the siblings Max with Villa Max Kuntze and (junior) Albert with Villa Albert Kuntze in Niederlößnitz new buildings received.

After the property was uninhabited for a long time during the GDR era and the building was badly damaged, the early vegetable center in Dresden - Kaditz bought the property in 1983 to convert it into a guest house. After the outside of the building had been rescued and restored and the enclosure restored, the turning point came and the property was taken over by the Treuhandanstalt , which then sold it on.

After various owners and users, the villa came to new owners in the 2000s, who over the course of five years renovated it thoroughly and in accordance with the requirements of listed buildings. Since the acquired property hardly gave any clues for the original interior design after years of “revision”, almost everything, from the stucco ceilings to the doors to the banisters, had to be reproduced and rebuilt as authentically as possible in coordination with the preservation authorities. This work was completed around 2007 and the house is commercially used by a company owned by the owners.

The client was awarded the Radebeul client award in 2016.
