history
The builder of the castle-like estate at the Dr.-Waibel Street, Guntram Hämmerle (1862-1923), was the youngest son of the founder of the FM Hämmerle Textilwerke , Franz Martin Hämmerle . Together with his three brothers Otto, Viktor and Theodor , Guntram Hämmerle has managed the large Dornbirn company since the death of his father. After Guntram Hämmerle had married the factory owner's daughter Natalie Winder in 1888, in 1890 he commissioned the architect Julius Rhomberg and the master builder Josef Anton Albrich to build a befitting villa on a property belonging to his father-in-law on the border between the districts of Markt and Oberdorf. The building site was there directly above the Wingathof built by his brother Otto in 1873 .
The duo Rhomberg / Albrich built almost all of the representative manufacturer's villas in Dornbirn between 1870 and 1910, which is why they were selected for this construction. The first ajar to the other existing property design was ultimately in consultation with the client in a romantic, castle-like building with Palas and a kind of keep redesigned. With the massive tower of the building in particular, the architect and client referred to the feudal Middle Ages.
