The Villa Hohenzollernstrasse 6 was part of a building ensemble on Karlshöhe in the south of Stuttgart . The villa was built ready for occupancy in 1895 in the historicism style. The building was destroyed by the bombing of Stuttgart during World War II.

history

The building was built according to the plans of the architects Lambert & Stahl , which was founded in Stuttgart in 1883 by the Swiss architect André Lambert and the German architect Eduard Stahl and existed until 1912. It was integrated (with house number 6) between house numbers 4–8 and with house number 10 it was part of a three-person ensemble of free-standing villas designed by the partnership . The Swiss honorary consul Wilhelm Kernen moved into the building in 1895. W. Kernen became honorary consul for Württemberg and the Principality of Hohenzollern in 1876. and was released from his duties in 1919. The narrow villa plot extended continuously from Hohenzollernstrasse to Humboldtstrasse, which ran parallel to it. It was on the south-facing slope and rose sharply to the rear connection to the higher Humboldtstrasse, so that the villa, like the neighboring houses, was built into an embankment .

Today, the Eduard-Mörike senior citizen 's residential complex , which is operated by the welfare organization for Baden-Württemberg , is located on the former villa property and adjacent properties .

description

The villa is one of the few buildings in which the rich design of the main facade was not oriented towards the street, but was oriented to the east due to the lack of width of the property.

The building was two and a half storeys high with a mansard hipped roof and a tower with a square onion dome attached to the street facade on the right-hand side and partially rising out of the building . The roof was asymmetrical and had a protruding roof overhang . The floor plan was also asymmetrical. The house entrance was not on the main facade on Hohenzollernstrasse, but was on the eastern side. The flat facade was interrupted below and above the axially arranged windows by applied ornamentation and a cornice band made of sandstone . The windows and doors were edged with sandstone. The left corner of the building on the street facade was formed with a corner pilaster strip made of flat cuboids. A stepped roof cornice made of sandstone closed off the facade at the top and created the transition to the roof.

location

The villa was in the south of Stuttgart at Hohenzollernstrasse 6 at 343  m above sea level. NN high mountain Karlshöhe and thus belonged to the development in the lower area of ​​the south side of the Höhe, one of the preferred locations for mostly magnificent country houses and villas in the state capital Stuttgart, which was emerging in the course of industrialization in Württemberg . On the remaining and predominant area of ​​the mountain, which is separated from the ridge of the Hasenberg by a saddle , there were and are vineyards , gardens and public green spaces .

The buildings by the architects Lambert & Stahl often showed a French-influenced neo - baroque and neo-classical style; In addition to numerous villas in Stuttgart, the architects also built the Queen Olga Building at Königstrasse  9, but they were also active throughout Württemberg and Switzerland. Most of their Stuttgart buildings were destroyed in World War II.

The villa and many neighboring houses on Karlshöhe were destroyed in air raids towards the end of the Second World War . The Mörikeheim retirement home , named after the poet and narrator Eduard Mörike , was later located on the neighboring property, Hohenzollernstrasse 2, and was run by the Stuttgart local charity association, which was part of the Württemberg central government for charities founded by Queen Katharina . After the NSDAP came to power in the German Reich in 1933 , the Stuttgart welfare association and thus also the Mörikeheim came under the influence of the National Socialist People's Welfare ; From 1933, in addition to the old people's home on Karlshöhe, the neighboring houses at Hohenzollernstrasse 3 and 8, Humboldtstrasse 3 and the villa at Hohenzollernstrasse 6 were also used for welfare purposes.

Most of the villas and country houses as well as rental and garden houses that were built in the second half of the 19th century and around the turn of the century in the half- height location in the Hohenzollern- and neighboring streets on the Karlshöhe, which were spared from the effects of the war and still exist today, are now largely standing under monument protection .
