The Villa Baedeker is a Grade II listed town house from the 1870s in the Käthe-Kollwitz-Straße 64 in Leipzig Bach quarter , accounting for about seventy years was owned by the family of publishers Baedeker. Today it is the seat of a private clinic for special surgery.

history

The villa was built in 1874/75 according to plans by the building director Julius Hoffmann for the private man Fritz Baedeker , Leipzig travel book publisher, in what was then Plagwitzer Straße . At the turn of the century in 1901, the architect Bruno Eelbo converted the villa. After the headquarters of the Baedeker publishing house on Nürnberger Straße was destroyed in the Second World War , the villa served as an alternative location for the publishing house's business. In the course of the reprisals of the Soviet occupation forces after 1945, the publishing house was relocated to West Germany. In 1948 the Baedeker family moved out of the building.

In 1953 the FDJ took over the building and converted it into the “Georg Schumann” youth hostel , which remained there until 1998.

Since 2009, the villa is home to a special surgical ENT - Clinic ( ACQUA Hospital Leipzig GmbH ) and a reference and development center for surgical technique ( IRDC GmbH International Reference and Development Center for Surgical Technology ) to the physician Gero Strauss . The IRDC is the “chosen location” of the location initiative Germany - Land of Ideas .

The back of the villa has been located on the exposed Elstermühlgraben since the 2000s .
