Poelzig House
The Poelzig House (also Villa Poelzig or house Steinert ) is a brick villa on the Kliedbruchstraße 67 in the district Kliedbruch in Krefeld . It was built from 1929 to 1931 by the Berlin architect Hans Poelzig for the family of textile manufacturers Ilse and Fritz Steinert. It is the only single-family house that Hans Poelzig has ever built for a private client. It has been a listed building since 1997 .
description
It is a gable-facing brick building on an artificial hill with a distinctive, pointed barrel-shaped roof, which has different radii on the front and back. On the north side, half a bat dormer connects the two halves of the roof. On the south side, the roof has an S-shaped counter-curve that goes back to an extension in 1961. Stylistically, the building belongs to Expressionism , of which Hans Poelzig is considered to be the main representative in Germany.
