Villa Finckenstein
The Villa Finckenstein is a listed residential building in Potsdam district Nauener suburb , Great Weinmeisterstraße 61st
history
The current appearance of the villa was created by the renovation and expansion of an existing house, which is documented by a map from 1848 and which probably belonged to the Finck von Finckenstein family. On behalf of the major in the 1st Guards Regiment on foot, "Lord Count Finck von Finckenstein", court builder and court mason Ernst Petzholtz applied for a building permit in 1868 for the extension of the house and the addition of a tower.
In the Potsdam address book for 1879, Lieutenant Colonel z. D. Conrad Finck von Finckenstein (1820–1884) is registered as the owner. On behalf of his widow Mathilde Finck von Finckenstein, née von Wartensleben (1835–1918), the Berlin architect Friedrich Gericke applied for a building permit for a stable building in 1894. In 1905, master mason Wilhelm Berend (1851–1931) built an extension on the north side of the house for their son Conrad Finck von Finckenstein (1862–1939) and in 1911 a stable and a coach house for “Countess von Finckenstein” .
The property was believed to be family property until the 1910s. According to the Potsdam address book, in 1912 it belonged to the personal adjutant of Crown Prince Wilhelm , Captain Max Edler von der Planitz, and according to the address books for 1914 and 1917 it belonged again to the Finck von Finckenstein family. The Rittmeister Wilhelm zu Solms-Sonnenwalde, who already lived in the house as a tenant in 1917, is the owner in 1919 and a Major in 1922 at the latest. D. Julius von und zu Egloffstein (1885–1946). Egloffstein had also rented living space and submitted an application to demolish the coach house and a laundry room.
The property belonged to the Garantie- und Kreditbank AG in 1949 and has been "used by the Soviets" since 1950. After the fall of the Wall, the villa went back into private ownership.
architecture
The previous building, which had seven axes and was located on the eaves, was one and a half story high with a gable roof . An outside staircase led from a loggia to the front garden. The loggia was flanked by two tall rectangular windows. The rooms on the mezzanine were illuminated by three four-part ribbon windows .
The mezzanine floor was expanded to a full floor in 1868/69, divided on the street side by a flat central projectile with a triangular gable and the central ribbon of windows reduced to two openings with blind windows . The tower extension on the southwest corner took up the stairs and the entrance area that were originally located in the house. Instead of an open belvedere, a tower room has been designed for residential use under the protruding tent roof . "With the Villa Finckenstein [...] built in 1869 - at the same time as the Villa Henckel on the Pfingstberg - the first tower villa after Friedrich Wilhelm IV. Was created on the suburbs level through the conversion of a detached house."
