The Villa Kogge is a villa in Berlin-Charlottenburg , Alt-Lietzow 28. It was built from 1864 to 1866 and is a listed building .
architecture
The late classicist two-storey villa stands in the middle and free in a park-like garden near the green of the former village of Alt-Lietzow . It has two high floors, divided by a cornice , above a high basement plinth . The building is closed at the top with a strong, richly decorated eaves and a gently sloping hipped roof. The four facades are designed differently: The east side is almost windowless and has a bay-like , two-storey porch in which the arched main entrance and above a window are located. The south side is characterized by a strongly protruding central projection with three window axes. To the left and right of it, flanked by columns, stand two Hellenistic figures on roofed pedestals. Below is a cast of a three-part relief of the bronze monument of Frederick the Great . The west side has another two-storey bay window with a 3/8 end. The north side has seven windows on each floor, the middle three of which are linked by a strong common cornice. There is a large terrace in front of it, which is roofed with a söller supported by four Corinthian columns .
The interior of the villa is characterized by a multi-storey central hall, which is illuminated by a skylight and serves to access the upper floor. It thus follows the classic scheme of the Villa Rotonda by the renaissance architect Andrea Palladio , which has since been used in classicist villas ( Prinzenpalais , Villa Madelung , Villa Berg, etc.). The somewhat freer and more functional floor plan and the different design of the four facades, however, already point to the future.
history
The villa was built between 1864 and 1866 for the timber merchant Carl Albert Friedrich Kogge . It is one of the oldest town houses in Charlottenburg. In 1891 it was acquired by the banker Franz Volkmar (* 1848), a grandson of the banker Moritz Daniel Volkmar and son of the lawyer Leopold Volkmar . In 1910 it became the property of the city of Charlottenburg and so later to the city of Berlin.
In 1959 the villa was last rebuilt in accordance with a listed building and has only been used as a registry office since then. It is one of the 100 most beautiful and most popular registry offices in Germany. In 1977 Hildegard Knef and Paul von Schell , among others, said yes in the Ville Kogge .
