The Villa Jaenisch is a listed neo-classical villa with a coach house in the Villenstrasse 6/8 in Kaiserslautern . The Villa Jaenisch is owned by the V8 company. The architect and building appraiser Volker Barth has already spoken out in an interview with the Rheinpfalz about the possible use of the building. The facility has an underground corridor system which, among other things, served as a beer cellar and air raid shelter.

history

The buildings, the main house and the coach house for staff, were built in 1913 as Villa Jaenisch according to plans by Eduard Brill . From 1919 they became "Villa Zschocke". After the First World War until the end of the 1920s, the villa housed a French officer's apartment for General Jean-Marie Degoutte . At the end of the Second World War, 1945, the villa housed the American headquarters. After the end of the war, the villa was used by the French gendarmerie. From 1949 to 1957, the Jewish Welfare Board occupied the premises. From 1957 the ground floor of the villa became the "House of Encounters", founded by Prelate Friedrich Gundermann . Heinrich Zschocke's son, Erich-Günther Zschocke and his family moved to the first floor. After their divorce, Mrs. Jean Zschocke stayed there with her children Heinrich Christian and Dorothee until 1976. From 1979 onwards, the Catholic University Community followed as a user until 2013. Due to its use, the property was acquired by the Speyer diocese in 1981 for DM 900,000 (equivalent to approx. EUR 460,000). In 2013 the buildings were sold to the V8 company (numbers unknown).
