The Villa Berberich was an upper-class residential building at Karlstrasse 141 in Heilbronn .
history
The Offenbach architect Hugo Eberhardt built the Villa Berberich in 1905/6 for the paper wholesaler Carl Berberich. According to the building application, the construction cost was estimated at 40,000 marks. In addition to this building, Eberhardt also built the Villa Pielenz and the Villa Plappert in Heilbronn . All three buildings are based on the English country house architecture and show the influence of the Berlin architect Hermann Muthesius . The Villa Berberich was destroyed in World War II and not rebuilt.
description
On the ground floor of the two-story building, Eberhardt used quarry stone masonry on all four sides of the facade as a striking design element , which only extended over a large area to the underside of the window openings. At the corners of the building, the quarry stone masonry was made higher for accentuation. On the north and east sides of the building there was also a round arched window and on the south side the main entrance, which was also designed as a round arch, was completely surrounded by quarry stone masonry. On the west side there was a covered porch made of quarry stone masonry, the roof ridge of which reached to the lower edge of the upper floor. The upper floor had wood paneling as the facade design. Another typical stylistic feature of Hugo Eberhardt's villa architecture was the steep and mighty roof landscape, which was clearly structured by several dormers, windows and chimneys. In the case of Villa Berberich, the basic shape of the roof was a large, steep tent roof. The east and west sides of the roof also had wide dormers with five and ten windows respectively. On the north side there was a large hipped dormer with five windows and visible framework. The south side of the roof had a dwarf house with a hipped roof to the left and right, the shape and size of which corresponded to the roof of the northern dormer. In all three cases, the roof pitch corresponded to the pitch of the main roof. On the south side, the main roof still had a centrally inserted bat dormer, which lay in a line above the main entrance.
