Villa Berliner Strasse 133
The Villa Berliner Straße 133 , the so-called Red Villa , is a listed building in the Berlin suburb of Potsdam.
history
The corner house Berliner Straße / Otto-Nagel-Straße was built in 1872/73 by the Potsdam company Gebr. Petzholtz. The design was made by the court builder and court mason Ernst Petzholtz . The house, which was then located at Neue Königstrasse 49 b (later 107), was acquired by a Herr von Ziethen, lieutenant and, at the latest, in 1882, a cavalry officer in the Guard Hussar Regiment. Von Ziethen sold the property in 1892 to the restaurateur Gustav Lübnitz, who ran the Zur cozy Klause restaurant in the building , which he later leased to various innkeepers. In 1892, Petzholtz converted the stable building to the north into living spaces for Lübnitz.
According to the Potsdam address book for 1914, the son of the same name, the locksmith and bully Gustav Lübnitz, is the subsequent owner. He had leased the restaurant to Martin Schemkowski. According to the address book for 1922, the house then belonged to the innkeeper Schemkowski and the locksmith Lübnitz was one of the residents until 1928. At the beginning of the 1930s, the building also housed the office of the Brandenburg Wirteverband in the administrative district of Potsdam, the provincial association of the German Gastwirteverband e. V. and the office of the Märkischer Gastwirteverein Potsdam e. V. The "Red Villa" was used until 1999 by various operators. After vacancy and renovation, the house has housed office and living rooms since 2004.
architecture
The building, which consists of two components of different heights, is three-story with a flat roof and two-story with a loft and a flat hipped roof . The brick-faced building was painted red, which gave the house the name "Red Villa". The light-colored window frames and cornices - the cornice between the ground floor and the upper floor with leaf ornamentation - stand out from the coloring of the wall surfaces. Wooden cross- storey windows on the ground floor and paired arched windows on the upper floor illuminate the interior. A stylized crenellated wreath below the eaves , octagonal decorative turrets at the corners and a stepped decorative gable with a figure niche give the building a castle-like appearance. The covered entrance area on the southwest side can be reached via an outside staircase.
