Villa Albert Kuntze

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Villa Kuntze is a "splendid neo-baroque villa" in the Oberen Bergstrasse 16 in the Niederlößnitz district of the Saxon city of Radebeul . The building was designed in 1899/1901 by the architect Oskar Menzel for the banker Albert Kuntze (junior). The gatehouse from 1900, which can be found at Obere Bergstrasse 14 , was also designed by Oskar Menzel. At the same time, Menzel rebuilt Kuntze's sister Thekla , who had inherited her father's house in Albertsberg , while the siblings Frida with the Villa Sommer and Max with the Villa Max Kuntze received new buildings. The villa stands at the foot of the vineyards within the historic vineyard landscape of Radebeul and in the Lößnitz conservation area . Both buildings were listed as Rolf-Helm-Straße 14 (with gatehouse) in the 1979 district monument list.

Gatehouse

Villa Albert Kuntze: gatehouse

The one-story, listed gatehouse ( location ) has an almost square floor plan. The flat tent roof has convex roof ridges . The plastering of the building standing on a rubble stone plinth shows a differentiated structure, as the pilaster strips and the eaves are smoothly plastered, while rough spray plaster is applied to the emerging fields.

In the left side view, access to the building is via an outside staircase and through a tiled door arch, the free corner pillar of which on the left side carries a sandstone ball and a heraldic cartouche . The driveway is on the right side of the house.
