The widow Henriette , nee Cluss, was the sister of Adolf Cluss and August Cluss, with whom Faißt founded the Cluss brewery in 1865 . After the death of the widow Faißt, the building was owned by various entrepreneurs, from 1922 onwards it was the seat of various administrations and from 1960 to 1995 it was owned by the city of Heilbronn and the seat of municipal offices. Since 2000 the building has been maintained as a representative "Wine Villa" by a joint venture between 16 wineries and the Heilbronn-Erlenbach-Weinsberg eG cooperative winery .

architecture

Main building

The main building on Cäcilienstraße was built in the course of the expansion of the city of Heilbronn from 1873 according to plans by Christian Zillhardt in a simple style. By 1876 it was converted into a villa based on a design by Robert von Reinhardt . The building has a porch with an entrance hall on the ground floor. A portal leads to this entrance hall, above which a balcony parapet with a balustrade and arched loggia can be seen. There are two statues next to the arched loggia on the 1st floor. One figure carries several roses as a symbol of love ( flora , rose as a symbol of love) the other carries ears of grain (Demeter; bread as a symbol of love and mercy / Caritas). There is a fresco by Bader on the south side of the facade of the main building. It shows a putto with acanthus leaves . Acanthus was a recurring motif Bader. The bows already show signs of the upcoming Art Nouveau . The elaborate decoration above the arched loggia has been lost.

Cultivation

Exterior architecture with allegory of music

In 1893 an extension was built according to plans by Ernst Walter and Karl Luckscheiter . This resulted in additions to the garden side, such as verandas and a greenhouse, which was decorated with niche figures. On the facade of the extension in the south there is another statue with the lyre , as the patron saint for music . The allegory for music thus points out the special function of the extension in which the music hall is located.

Interior design with garden and music room

The former garden hall is located on the ground floor of the extension. There are remarkable frescoes with the four seasons. In winter the potted plants were protected from frost; In the summer Henriette Faisst could have tea here with friends in the cool of the room. In its "splendor, the garden hall is reminiscent of Italian Renaissance models in Florence and Mantua".

The former music hall, in which the composer Hugo Wolf made music, is located on the garden side on the upper floor . The music room forms the “State Hall of the Villa”. The walls are lavishly decorated with paintings and a stucco frieze. Pilasters and pilaster strips are so artistically painted as if they were actually made of real ocher-colored marble. Below the corner medallions were painted in pale blue tones, which represent the 4 elements (fire, water, air and earth) as dancing women. Vaulted dome and gable over the imitation marble inlay. The ceiling shows a large rectangular skylight with decorative iron rungs. On one side a landscape picture with the motif of the Blue Grotto in Capri . In the anteroom to the music hall, a wall was decorated with musical instruments, which, however, was temporarily protected behind a white panel due to the lack of restoration options, so that future generations can restore it.

Art historical significance

It is a building "from the early phase of southern German historicism ". E. Bader's interior furnishings reflect Italian interiors from antiquity to the neo-Renaissance.
