Architecture and history
The wooden villa was built on a cross-shaped floor plan in 1891 for Paul von Hase (1840–1918), royal Prussian senior medical officer for veterinary medicine . After him, the building was initially named Villa Hase . One of his children was the later resistance fighter against the National Socialist tyranny, Karl Paul Immanuel von Hase . The construction of the house type called Wolgasthaus was carried out by the Wolgast timber construction company JH Kraeft . The building is reminiscent of American wooden houses in the Victorian style of the second half of the 19th century. In fact, the Kraeft company had close relationships with American companies. The principle of prefabrication of individual components was also adopted from there. The villa has largely been preserved in its original form. A winter garden was added later . The property belonging to the building was originally much larger than it is today. Von Hase created a small park on the property. A ginkgo standing close to the house and a weeping beech date from this time.
In front of the upper floor there is an open loggia with wooden white arcades on the street side . A high gable with an open space towers above the loggia . In the interior of the building there are various small rooms, typical of the Wolgasthaus. Partly the paneling of the walls and ceilings made of glazed wood is still preserved. The woodwork in the house was made from pitch pine . The completely preserved paneling of the stairwell is remarkable.
In 1908 von Hase sold the property. The new owners, the Kelch family from Berlin , named the villa after their daughter Erika . The villa was used as a private summer house until it was leased to VEB Volltuchwerke Crimmitschau , who used it as a holiday home, during the GDR era . After 1990 the villa was renovated by the heirs of the Kelch family and then used as a guest house.
In 2019 the villa used as a holiday home was repaired, taking into account the preservation of monuments, in order to restore the representative character of the house.
