The Seidlvilla (also Villa Lautenbacher ) is a 1905 built villa on Nikolaiplatz 1b in Munich district of Schwabing .

The villa is built in the style of the German Renaissance with Art Nouveau forms . The complex originally consisted of a manorial house with a side wing for the coach house, stable and coachman's apartment, surrounded by a garden wall with pillars crowned with vases. The architect was Emanuel von Seidl .

history

The owner of the villa was Franziska Lautenbacher, whose fortune came from her first marriage to one of the company owners of the Spaten brewery . After the death of the first owner in the 1930s, the property changed hands several times.

In 1970, investors presented a plan that called for the demolition of the villa and the development of the entire street block. In 1971 the property was sold to another developer who wanted to keep the main house, but wanted to build a new building in the garden property. The architect Meinrad von Ow, who lives in the neighborhood, and the Münchner Forum association founded a citizens' committee and informed residents, the district committee, the city council, the monument protection authorities and the press. They submitted a large number of applications and demanded that the buildings that had grown since 1900 and the heavily greened ensemble around Nikolaiplatz be preserved. They also wanted the garden to be open to the public and the square to be traffic-calmed. In 1975 the Seidlvilla was added to the list of monuments. In May 1976 the city council decided to buy the villa and keep it.

In the meantime, the building has been rented out several times for filming purposes. Numerous episodes of the schoolgirl report were filmed in the villa. In addition, the episode Sister Ignatia of the successful crime series Der Kommissar with Erik Ode was filmed there in 1972 .

Various institutions have registered their interest in using the villa. The international youth library wanted to move in, a community center and cultural education center were planned, the Goethe-Institut was considering setting up its headquarters in the Seidlvilla, as was the Munich adult education center and Pro Familia . Partial commercial use was also discussed. In 1978 the non-profit association Bürgerzentrum Seidlvilla was founded and demanded that a house that was only saved through the efforts of the citizens should also be used by the citizens.

In the same year 1978, the Free State of Bavaria applied to be able to set up a police station in the building on a temporary basis, as a new building in the city district was planned but not to be implemented soon. Contrary to initial considerations, the city council approved this use for three years in the summer of 1979. Because the new building was delayed, the police station stayed in the building until 1987.

The community center Seidlvilla kept up its claim with cultural events in the meantime. In 1986 the city council gave him the responsibility and in October 1987 provisional permanent use began. After the financing was secured, the building was renovated from 1989 to 1991 and converted for the new use. At the beginning of June 1991 the Seidlvilla community center was opened with a cultural program.

Today's owner is the state capital Munich. It supports the house with an annual grant from funds from the cultural and social departments. Since then, the villa has been available to non-profit associations and the Munich Adult Education Center for events. The Schwabing district committee, the district archive, the Seidlvilla association and the local neighborhood aid are based in the building.

Regular users also include the Seerosenkreis e. V. for literary and visual artists who hold events there, for example the annual Christmas reading by the fireplace . Its members include Walter Zauner, Maria Peschek , Winfried Zehetmeier , Gert Heidenreich , Brigitta Rambeck, Anatol Regnier , Robert Hültner , Asta Scheib , Dagmar Nick and Michael Skasa .

Other users are the German Werkbund Bayern and other associations.
