Villa Hartmann (Dresden)
The Villa Hartmann , also Hartmannsche Villa , is a listed , upper-class residential building on Laubegaster Ufer 33 in the Dresden district of Laubegast . It is considered to be “a particularly successful example of Dresden villas from the Wilhelminian era ” and is “one of the few remaining sophisticated villas from the Wilhelminian era”.
history
The Villa Hartmann was built between 1874 and 1877 by the architects Max Hübner and Rudolph Baron for the Chemnitz machine manufacturer and railway pioneer Richard Hartmann as a summer residence. After Richard Hartmann's death in 1878, his son Gustav Hartmann lived in the villa from 1881 . A grandson of Richard Hartmann founded the Creutz-Film-Gesellschaft in the garden and in the palm house of the villa , which was later renamed Saxonia-Film . Electricity for the film production was drawn from the tram overhead line , so that it was mostly shot at night. Silent films were made at this time , for example the film The Geiger von Meißen with Erich Ponto , Hedda Lembach and Alexander Wirth was shot in the villa in 1920 . Commercials followed later. The Swede Sven Berglund produced the first optical sound films in the villa .
In 1940 a private kindergarten moved into the villa. Until 1945 it also served as the quarters of the Laubegaster school. In 1946, the state of Saxony bought the villa from the last owner and used the house from 1953 to 2005 as a day care center and elementary school day care center. From 1982 to 1983 the interior of the building was restored. Today the building is privately owned again.
Building description
The Villa Hartmann is a two-storey villa built in the neo-renaissance style with influences from the French baroque , the structure of which shows the after-effects of Gottfried Semper's Villa Rosa . The "floor plan according to the scheme of the Dresden School " is also " enriched by oriel structures ".
The strictly symmetrical villa, the façade of which is made entirely of sandstone, is structured in five axes, with three window axes forming the central projections . These are additionally emphasized by roof extensions with sandstone figures. The sandstone figures were designed by the sculptor Friedrich Rentsch and executed by the sculptor Franz Schwarz . Unfortunately, these are currently left to decay due to the weather and urgently need restoration. The eastern main side on the Elbe is richly sculptured in the style of the French baroque; the windows are flanked by pilasters and have balconies that go over one or three window axes. The elbabgewandte garden is a deep upper chamber dominated.
The Villa Hartmann has a distinctive, steep mansard hipped roof "above the pronounced cornice" , which architects around 1870 "perceived as French ..." and which was implemented in some Dresden villas and terraced houses.
Inside, the villa's rooms are arranged around a vestibule that is illuminated with daylight through a round ceiling opening with a 3.5 meter high glass dome. The spandrels of the lower vestibule are decorated with four round panel paintings depicting Hartmann's four daughters as the "Four Seasons". The “paintings in the Pompeian style” in the vestibule, ground floor and staircase resemble the style and motifs of the paintings in the second Dresden Semperoper , which was built between 1871 and 1878 at the same time as the Hartmann Villa. The paintings are therefore attributed to Wilhelm Andreas Schaberschul , who also created the paintings for the Semperoper.
In the neo-renaissance style, the rooms were provided with marble and stucco marble and structured by pilasters. Windows and doors were made of oak veneer. Around 1900 the staircase, which has a richly painted coffered ceiling and is entered via an elaborately designed portal, received art glazing, which, like parts of the staircase, was decorated in a picturesque Art Nouveau style .
