Villa Duttenhofer (Rottweil)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Villa Duttenhofer

The Villa Duttenhofer in Rottweil was built by adding and converting a house built in 1857 by powder manufacturer Xaver Flaiz. They were made by Max von Duttenhofer (1843–1903) as heir to the company owner according to plans by Prof. Emil Otto Tafel , Stuttgart. In doing so, he created an appropriate family seat at the entrance to the city center of Rottweil at a dominant urban development point. The building is now on Königstrasse (No. 1). It has been owned by the city of Rottweil since 1919.

architecture

The villa was built in the urban development phase of high industrialization before 1918 as a private building by the director of the Rottweil powder factory , Max von Duttenhofer, and expresses the sense of class of the ennobled Kommerzienrat. Similarly representative villas with a stately park were built in Schramberg ( Villa Junghans ) and Oberndorf am Neckar (Villa Mauser) by the Junghans brothers and the Mauser arms manufacturer .

A two-storey hipped roof building rises above an almost square floor plan . The exterior of the building is structured by a polygonal corner bay window, horizontal plastering, cornices and arched windows.

History of the building

The core of the building consists of the detached house with an outside staircase, built in 1857, which, after the purchase of land, was surrounded by two greenhouses, a garden shed, a vegetable garden, an ice house and a tree nursery. Powder manufacturer Franz Xaver Flaiz and Thessaline Duttenhofer, widow of pharmacist Wilhelm Heinrich Duttenhofer, were registered as owners as late as 1860. It was not until 1875 that an entry was made in the land register in which Max Duttenhofer was named as the owner with the note “by inheritance”.

In 1878 a building application was submitted for a new bay window and extensions on the east facade according to the plans of Tafel. In 1884, Tafel expanded the building to include a small salon with a domed roof, a large hall building with adjoining halls, a winter garden with glass windows and hot water heating, a stable building with a park, a riding school and a bathhouse. The draftsman, sculptor and archaeologist Oskar Hölder (1832–1894) created a copy of the Orpheus mosaic for the vestibule adjoining the main building to the south.

The building had glorious days. In 1899 the Württemberg royal couple was a guest at Villa Duttenhofer. The Rottweiler fool's march Heinrich von Beseles was premiered in the large hall of the house .

In 1919 the entire villa property was donated to the city of Rottweil, initially with the obligation to use these buildings exclusively for museum purposes. Max von Duttenhofer was appointed honorary board member of the antiquities association with the rights of a committee member. The foundation's goal fell behind with the prevailing housing shortage. The building was not used by the foundation for residential purposes and for offices and was only rarely used for exhibitions. By 1925, the former Duttenhofer's property was dismantled into a residential building. Around 1929/30 the employment office was housed in the Villa Duttenhofer. At the time of National Socialism, the NSDAP district leadership moved into the building, after the war the police used the building, and in 1970 it was converted into a youth center. In 1988 the villa was renovated and used as a restaurant, in 1998 a pavilion was added to the south, which had to be demolished in 2010 with the end of the lease. The building has been empty since 2009.

The remaining building is a cultural monument in accordance with § 2 DSchG and is part of the entity of the former Rottweil powder factory .
