The Villa Elisabeth at Kasseler Straße 5 is a listed villa in the northern Hessian community of Lohfelden .
history
Around 1800 the plots on the old linden tree of Vollmarshausen were redistributed due to inheritance. In place of an old building, the Villa Elisabeth was built in 1825. As a primary residential building, it is somewhat smaller than the single-house buildings on neighboring properties 4 and 6. The builders were entrepreneur and part-time farmer Michael Armbröster and his wife Elisabeth Armbröster. The first floor and the roof were used for residential purposes, while the ground floor (at least temporarily) housed offices for their operations behind. After the end of operations, the building was only used as a private residence and the business premises behind it as a barn and stable. From the 1920s the childless entrepreneur Johannes Lengemann lived in it with his housekeeper, after which it was divided into apartments. In 1930 Lengemann initiated a lawsuit to have the shed leaning against the house removed, the fire protection argument was refuted, and the shed was later even replaced.
Until 1936 the address was Dorfstrasse 5 , since then Kasseler Strasse 5 . The Wahlebach runs between the house and the linden tree, but today it is dulled . The main entrance was relocated from the double-leaf door on the stairs to the ground-level side entrance to the rear. There is also a trough and a ring for tying up horses. The former entrance is used as a door to the garden.
building
The unplastered half-timbered house with a gable roof , five to two window axes, has a flush, three-storey central projectile with a triangular gable in the north main view . In front of the risalit there is a two-flight sandstone staircase on the ground floor on which there is a (weathered) memorial plaque. All four facades are structured strictly symmetrically .
Of the former fence around the garden, only the garden gate still exists. The house tree and the pergola no longer exist, instead there is an apple tree in the garden and, since 2010, the pear tree of an old variety from the “Young Giants” project.
A large classicist door frame and a wooden angled staircase with quarter pedestal have been preserved in historical interior fittings.
Monument protection
For architectural, architectural and local historical reasons, the central villa is protected by the State of Hesse . The building is a cultural monument and also part of the overall Vollmarshausen complex .
