History and description
,_S._377.jpg)
The villa was built in 1891 by the architects Karl Weichardt (1846–1906) and Bruno Eelbo (1853–1917) - architects Weichardt & Eelbo - for the Leipzig businessman Carl Beckmann in the style of historicism with stylistic features of late classicism and stood on the Ferdinand- Rhode-Strasse 4 / corner of Wächterstrasse. Today the skyscraper is located there at Wächterstrasse 36.
The depicted view shows the villa from Ferdinand-Rhode-Straße. The garden was about half the size of the neighboring villas on Karl-Tauchnitz-Straße, as the Hermann Beckmann villa next to it at Ferdinand-Rhode-Straße 2 took up the space up to the corner of Karl-Tauchnitz-Straße. Both villas had to share the space on Ferdinand-Rhode-Straße, so that there was not enough space for stables and coach houses - as with the neighboring villas.
The area of the former villa and its garden were merged with neighboring plots of five war-torn villas ( Villa Gruner , Villa Girbardt , Villa Wölker , Villa Oelßner and Villa Hermann Beckmann ) between Ferdinand-Rhode-Strasse and Beethovenstrasse, whereupon the three 16-storey ones in 1970 Point high-rise buildings (type PH 16 ) were built by Walter Havliczek. Popularly known as "the three equals".
