The Villa Kämmerer on the Tivoliberg in Dessau-Roßlau in Saxony-Anhalt is a listed building .
history
The Tivoliberg is a 6 meter high elevation on today's Amalienstraße. Up until the end of the 18th century there was a place of execution known as Galgenberg.
The CG Kämmerer soap factory was built here around 1866. This was taken over by Otto Flemming in 1934. Today the former factory is used as a fitness studio. In 1873 Carl Gustav Kämmerer had the villa built by the Dessau architect Franz Januskowski.
The wrought iron gate originally comes from the Ascan Gate that can be found in Polling Park . Kämmerer bought the lattice in 1873 and had it decorated with his initials. His daughter Christiane, born June 22, 1870, married to the engineer and industrialist Otto Polysius , later inherited the house. The large pub "Tivoli" next to the villa, which has been operated by the Dambacher brewery since 1873, was part of the building complex. It was acquired jointly by the SPD, the union and the cooperative in 1910 and used as a venue for the Dessau workers' movement, known as the Volkshaus . In 1933, like other "people's houses", it was expropriated by the Nazi state and, after 1945, a state hygiene institute.
architecture
The villa is a late Classicist two-storey brick shell with a rectangular base. The facade is determined by the ocher clinker.
The upper end of the building is formed by two three-axis gable risalites, which are decorated with terracotta friezes in the eaves areas. The risalit is decorated with pairs of griffins and the monogram of the builder.
