History and description

Ground plan of the Villa Hermann Beckmann (1888)

The villa was designed in 1888 by Max Pommer (1847–1915) for Consul Hermann Beckmann and built in the neo-renaissance style in 1891 and stood at Ferdinand-Rhode-Straße 2 / corner Karl-Tauchnitz-Straße.

The villa formed the prelude to a whole representative quarter starting in Ferdinand-Rhode-Straße to the confluence with Beethovenstraße. The pictured view shows the house from the shorter side on Karl-Tauchnitz-Straße. The entrance was on the left on the longer side of the house at Ferdinand-Rhode-Straße 2. Today there is a transformer station on it. Around 1912, the publisher Paul List (1869–1929), founder of the publishing house of the same name, lived in the villa .

Compared to the neighboring villas on Karl-Tauchnitz-Straße, the garden was about half the size, as the Villa Carl Beckmann next to it at Ferdinand-Rhode-Straße 4 took up the space up to Wächterstraße. Both villas had to share the space on Ferdinand-Rhode-Straße, so that there was not enough space for stables and coach houses - as with the neighboring villas.

The area of ​​the former villa and its garden were merged with neighboring plots of five war-torn villas ( Villa Gruner , Villa Girbardt , Villa Wölker , Villa Oelßner and Villa Carl Beckmann ) between Ferdinand-Rhode-Strasse and Beethovenstrasse, whereupon the three 16-storey ones in 1970 Point high-rise buildings (type PH 16 ) were built by Walter Havliczek. Popularly known as "the three equals".
