Villa Dopfer
The Villa Dopfer is a villa at Gutenbergstrasse 37 in Heilbronn . The historic building is a listed building .
history
The building was built in 1909 by Theodor Moosbrugger for the chemist Otto Dopfer, who had been with the Knorr food company since 1906 . Carl Emanuel Knorr lived there for a few years until 1923 . Until around 1936 it belonged to Paul Löffler, director of the Löwenwerke AG canning factory. In 1950 the villa belonged to the factory director Heinrich Gebauer, who at that time still lived on Louis-Hentges-Straße. The villa was rented to the dermatologist Willi Hertner. In 1961 Gebauer lived in the villa himself, and the painter Charlotte Usadel was also registered there. Today the villa is still privately owned and used as a residential building.
description
To the building was an asymmetric stand bay with steep gables attached. The stand bay itself is partially shingled and polygonal . The windows show dense bars and are flanked by folding shutters .
Art historical significance
The English country house architecture was introduced in 1905 by Hugo Eberhardt in Heilbronn with the Villa Pielenz . The Villa Dopfer follows the English country house style and broke with historicism. Therefore, the building was elevated to a cultural monument. So says Julius Fekete:
“ [...] The architecture of the building was progressive and took up the English model propagated by Hermann Muthesius. Its characteristics are the radical break with historicism and the reference to English country house architecture . "
Joachim Hennze, architecture and art historian and head of the Heilbronn lower monument authority, describes the villa's homeland style:
“ Here at Gutenbergstrasse 37 you can clearly feel the connection that the Heimatstil enters into with the English country house architecture: Asymmetrical in view, the house has an imaginative combination of gables and roofs. Narrow bars and folding shutters characterize the deeply cut windows. Its outer skin combines plastered surfaces with shingles and is effectively crowned by the staggered roof landscape. In addition to the Villa Pielenz by Furtwang architect Hugo Eberhard from 1905, the Villa Dopfer is the only building in Heilbronn from this period that has survived . "
