History and description

The country house was built in 1934 according to plans by the architect Jan Hubert Pinand . It is the only country house in Darmstadt that was built between the World Wars with a quarry stone facade.

The year of construction (1934) of the unusual single-family house is written in large metal numbers on the north facade. When planning the house, the architect based himself on historical models. Typical set pieces of the country house design are the expressionistically horizontally paneled wooden front door and the Gothic -looking curved windows.

The house looks simply shaped and has a simple gable roof - a shape that was common during the construction period. The country house, the enclosure and the garden form a harmonious ensemble. Natural materials and the old trees dominate the property.

The garden stairs were made of red bricks brick. The preserved historical enclosure consists of a partially man-high quarry stone wall with a clinker brick finish.

Varia

At the beginning of the 1930s, Pinand switched to planning quarry stone buildings. Pinand designed the Liebfrauenkirche and several churches in quarry stone in the Odenwald. The country house on Schillerstrasse is the only known quarry stone house in Pinand.
