history

Möhring designed the bridge gate of the Moselle bridge built in 1898/99, the first permanent bridge between the two districts of Traben and Trarbach. During this time he made contacts with wine merchants and hoteliers in Traben and Trarbach. In the years that followed, a number of Art Nouveau buildings were built in the city , including Villa Huesgen.

The villa was built for the winery owner and wine wholesaler Adolph Huesgen (1855-1949), whose imposing appearance had earned him the nickname "Moselbismarck", in the vicinity of the winery buildings. Möhring also designed the interior of the house in the sense of a total work of art . The roof contains a theater room for private performances. In 1906/07 Möhring published various images of the Villa Huesgen in the renowned architecture magazine Berliner Architekturwelt .
