history

Tomb by the sculptor Ebe for his father-in-law Kleinecke, today in the former property

The builder and architect Edmund Hacault from Klotzsche built a house and ancillary building for the property owner Henry Bernhard Dirks between summer 1894 and November 1895. In 1929 a roof was built for a studio , and in 1933 a veranda was added. In 1963 the attic was expanded further.

In 1920, the Berlin wine wholesaler and patron Fritz Kleinecke (1859-1931) moved with his family to Mohrenstrasse 14/16 in Lößnitz . The sculptor Burkhart Ebe (1881–1949), son-in-law and later adopted son, set up a studio workshop below the villa on Mohrenstrasse (No. 16), where he worked until the end of his life. Among other things, he created the tomb for his father-in-law there in 1931/1932 , which was placed in the Radebeul-West cemetery and was transferred to the property when the grave was closed in 1994.
