The Stützelvilla is the manufacturer's villa built by Kommerzienrat Ludwig Winkler , operator of the Winkler & Sohn table and mirror glass factory, opposite Neuhaus Castle in the Neuhaus district of the Upper Palatinate town of Windischeschenbach .

history

The building permit for the construction of the villa was granted on October 18, 1887 by the Neustadt an der Waldnaab district office and the building was completed the following year. The name of the architect is unknown.

After the Klarahütte collapse in 1927, the villa and the park in front of it were transferred to the Bayerische Staatsbank in Fürth on July 28, 1931 . In 1934 an SA sports school was to be built here by the NSDAP Gauamt Bayreuth . These plans came to nothing and on July 30, 1934, the municipality of Windischeschenbach purchased the building for 30,000 gold marks . However, the community's plan to redesign the building for school purposes could not be implemented and so the villa was leased to the Reichswehr for training purposes in 1935 . However, the lease was terminated on December 31, 1935. After various efforts to use the building as a school after all, to set up a women's labor camp here or to rent it to the National Socialist Women's Association of the Bavarian Ostmark district , the facility was rented to the NSDAP Weiden-Neustadt an der Waldnaab district management in 1939, who established a party district school here on May 1, 1939.

During the Second World War the villa was used as a hospital and a police school. After the end of the war, the US military and then displaced persons were housed here. After Windischeschenbach was elevated to town in 1957, plans arose to accommodate the town hall here. This was not realized, instead homeless people and gypsies were quartered in the villa free of charge. The villa became increasingly neglected, and at the urging of the health department, the residents were evacuated and housed in so-called "simple apartments" outside the city. Plans to demolish the villa were not carried out to the benefit of the city. Rather, the idea arose of donating the building and the park to the Neustadt an der Waldnaab district and building a youth conference center here; the notarial certification took place on August 21, 1979.

Under architect Quirin Punzmann , renovation work on the villa, which was then called the “rat hole”, began on August 23, 1979. In close cooperation with the Bavarian State Office for the Preservation of Monuments , the paintings were restored in an elaborate process with a team of eight restorers. To combat the dry rot , all wooden ceiling beams were removed and replaced with metal beams, and the house was also supplied with air at 120 degrees for 14 days and then impregnated. In parallel to the renovation of the villa, a two-storey new building was built next to it, which contains the bedrooms for the youth conference center and which was connected to the old villa with a glazed intermediate building. The one hectare park was also repaired and provided with facilities for recreational activities. On April 18, 1984, the renovation work was ceremoniously completed. The importance of the restoration of the Stützelvilla is compared with the renovation of the Villa Clementine in Wiesbaden or the Villa Frowein in Wuppertal .

On December 31, 2016, the high-deficit youth conference center was closed, although asylum seekers were already accommodated here in 2016. In 2017 the building was acquired by the Free State of Bavaria for the symbolic price of one euro. The Bavarian State Ministry of Finance and Home is planning to set up the “Digital Maps Bavaria” department here. The renewed renovation of the listed villa is planned, the demolition of the existing extension and the construction of a replacement building at the same location for the purposes of the authority.

Construction

The castle-like two-storey structure with four corner towers and a central dome was erected on a square floor plan. The building is designed in the neo-renaissance style. To the southwest, a staircase with three flights of stairs and a square platform was built. This led to the park, which is enclosed with an iron mesh fence.

In 1904 a smaller support villa was built by Kommerzienrat Eduard Stützl a little further south , in which he lived with his family. From 1955 to 1994, this was owned by Annahütte , which was the successor company to the table and mirror glass factory Christian Winkler und Sohn (today Nabucco Glas GmbH ). The Annahütte has meanwhile also gone bankrupt. A glass gallery, a model room and a café are housed here.

Interior

All rooms were painted in the neo-renaissance style, some of which were covered on the upper floor with art nouveau painting . The painting is done in oil tempera , with phatasy figures, flowers, exotic plants, mythical creatures, angel fountains, fountains, etc., sometimes framed by stencil painting , were depicted. Four medallions were created in the dome, depicting allegories of science, industry, trade and the arts in grisaille painting . The white cast iron banisters have also been preserved.
