Villa Garke

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Villa Garke is located at Thomas-Mann-Straße 6 in the Niederlößnitz district of the Saxon city of Radebeul . The new villa was built in 1896/1897 by the builder Hugo Große , who lived in the neighboring house to the south, and some time later received an extension in the left side view by Alfred Große , like Hugo co-owner of the building company Gebrüder Große . From 1913 the property was owned by the later Saxon general Charles Garke , namesake of the house, whose descendants now live there again.

history

In March 1892, the rentier Friedrich Wilhelm Otto Teske, who had himself built houses in Thomas-Mann-Strasse 1 and opposite in No. 2 in 1891, separated the property from his large plot of land. In December 1895 it was owned by the builder Hugo Große , who in 1896 handed over his construction company to his sons Alfred and Hugo Große. In June 1896, the master carpenter Hugo Große submitted a building application based on his own design for a new villa, which was approved in July 1896 and February 1897, respectively. The new building was completed in August of that year, and some time later, brother Alfred Große, added an annex in the left side view.

From September 1898 the property belonged to Hermann Karl Günther von Kauffberg and from January 1909 to the higher regional judge Heinrich Clemens von Feilitzsch .

Charles Garke (1860–1936) bought it in November 1913 and lived there with his family. In 1914, as Lieutenant Colonel, he was in command of the Royal Saxon 8th Field Artillery Regiment No. 78 in Wurzen (part of the 24th Division (2nd Royal Saxon) ), for which he also composed the trot march.

Garke's grave in Dresden's north cemetery

In 1917 he was major general in command of the 19th Replacement Division (Royal Saxon) . In 1936 Garke was buried as Lieutenant General in the Dresden North Cemetery.

Garke's widow went west with the key to the house in 1947. The property remained with the owner or her heirs, while the house was "allegedly inhabited by up to 10 different tenants at the same time".

After the fall of the Wall , one of the heirs, great-grandchildren of General Charles Garke, paid off his co-heirs and became the new owner in November 1994. The villa was completely renovated by 1996 and from then on rented for 10 years to the electronics company AMD , which let various employees live there. Since January 2007, the descendants of Charles Garkes have been living in their ancestral home again.

In 2012 the Villa Garke was presented to the public on the day of the open monument.
