Wiehbergstraße 22 or Villa Heintze in Hanover is a listed villa on Wiehbergstraße in the Hanover-Döhren district , which was built as the director's villa for the Döhrener wool laundry and combing .

History and description

While the monument topography of the Federal Republic of Germany assumed that construction of the villa would still start in the 1870s, the building was actually not built until 1907 according to plans by the architect Karl Börgemann . The client was the general director of the Döhrener wool laundry and combing, Georg Heintze , the paternal grandfather of the ethnologist Beatrix Heintze , born in 1939 , at the same time related to Walter Cramer , who was also active in the textile industry , the board member of the worsted yarn spinning mill Stöhr & Co. AG and who was later executed against the resistance fighter National Socialism .

The two-story plastered building, presumably rebuilt several times, emphasized its deliberately impressive effect behind a wrought iron fence and front garden compared to the more modest buildings in the area. Two figures in niches on the facade facing the street represent as allegories with the Greek goddess Demeter the fertility of the earth and autumn and with the Roman goddess Flora the blossom and spring.

After the couple Margarete and Martin Radke acquired the villa in 2003, the villa, which was painted in dusky pink in the 1980s, suffered substance damage to the exterior walls, in particular the accumulation of water under the non-breathable layer of paint led to expansion and flaking, especially of the ornamental jewelry which had to be partially re-cast. With an investment of around 100,000 euros and in consultation with the monument office, restorations were carried out and the facade was repainted in umber and white. The two almost human-sized figures were still in the workshop of a restorer in the southern part of Hanover in 2015 .

Finally, in 2015, the Radke couple, as one of 28 applicants, won the first prize, endowed with 1,500 euros, in the facade competition of the home and real estate association and the painters' guild.
