Villa Lüdicke
The Villa Lüdicke is a listed building in the Nauener Vorstadt district of Potsdam , Puschkinallee 10.
history
The tower villa in what was then Capellenbergstrasse 10 was built in 1876/77 by master bricklayer Albert Lüdicke († probably in 1901, at the latest in 1903). The house, initially rented by Lüdicke, was acquired by the manorial estate owner Karl Wilhelm Julius Matthes from Hohenkarzig (later Gardzko, part of Strzelce Krajeńskie ) in 1882 . As early as 1880, Lüdicke had added a “servants' room” for Matthes next to the tower, changed the entrance with two flanking columns and added a single storey building on the north side. From 1891 to 1903 at the latest, the widow Matthes, née Häfner, was the owner and from 1904 was the “Matthes heir”. The villa was bought in 1906 by the a. D. Friedrich von der Marwitz (1858–1912) and in 1912 the Real Secret Council Willibald von Dirksen, who lived in Berlin (Margaretenstrasse 11) .
Rittmeister Richard von Spalding (1844–1919) acquired the property in 1918 . After his death it went first to the widow Marie von Spalding, née von Loesewitz (1850–1923) and then to the "von Spalding's heirs". From 1933 the daughter who lived in the house, the welfare sister Hedwig ("Hedda") von Spalding (* 1882) was the sole owner. It is registered as such in the Potsdam address book for 1938/39, as is Lieutenant Colonel a. D. Siegfried von Braun, who has lived in the house as a tenant since the early 1920s.
After the Second World War, the Soviet army occupied the house. Around 1955 it went to the VEB municipal housing administration and was used by the state insurance of the GDR until the fall of the Berlin Wall . The villa is privately owned again.
architecture
The tower villa on Puschkinallee and the corner of Beyerstraße has two floors and a basement . The wall surfaces are faced with yellow bricks, on which sandstone-imitating structural elements and sgraffito paintings stand out. The west side on Puschkinallee, elaborately designed with figurative ornamentation, is accentuated by a three-axis, gabled risalit with a crowning group of putti and a front staircase as well as a loggia to the north. The three arched French windows in the risalit are adorned with pilasters , columns, putti heads and medallions with playing putti. The three tall rectangular windows on the upper floor are adorned with sgraffito paintings and herms with women's heads. The entrance area is on the south side of Beyerstrasse. The building is surmounted by a stair tower on the east side with a belvedere , to which a three-axis risalit with a polygonal stand bay adjoins to the north .
