history

  • Designed by Max Littmann from 1900

  • Ground plan from 1900

In 1900 Ida Littmann, a daughter of Jakob Heilmann , who was married to her father's business partner, the architect Max Littmann , bought the property from her father. In 1901 Max Littmann built the villa as a summer house. Since Littmann had planned to set the house back from the street, the local building commission objected to the plans because of a violation of the building line regulations. Only after a letter from Littmann, in which he wrote that strict adherence to the building line was not even desirable in the villa colony, did she give permission.

The Littmanns used the villa until 1909. Then Jakob Heilmann bought it back and had it extended to the east to the slope edge and to the north. In 1913 the kitchen wing was expanded and remodeled, as well as the construction of a boundary wall facing the street by the architect John A. Campbell.

From 2005 to 2007 the villa was used as a location for the first seven episodes of the Sonnenfeld family television series .

The latest owner of the villa is former Siemens CEO Peter Löscher . He had the house renovated over the years. Since spring 2014, a hedge made of evergreen trees several meters high has been hiding the house from passers-by.

The original summer house is an English country house style villa with half-timbered elements . The single-storey building has an eaves saddle roof and an originally clapboard upper storey with a knee- length floor . The south gable side is very open on the ground floor with large windows and a veranda . On the upper floor there is a loggia to the right of the central axis and a window bay in the top of the gable . A small two-storey transverse building and the entrance building protrude from the facade to the west towards the street. The top floor has a wide dormer window with three windows next to each other.

The extension from 1910 that extends to the edge of the slope connects to the north and east. It is two-story and has a hipped roof that merges seamlessly into the gable roof of the original house on the west side. On the south side, a semicircular protruding winter garden connects to the veranda of the original house. Above it is an east-facing dwelling with a triangular gable. On the east facade, a small semicircular tower protrudes from the line of the wall, which has a dome-shaped dome .

Behind the house, a serpentine path leads down the Isar slope into the lower part of the garden, through which the Wenzbach stream flows. A bridge leads over the stream to a summer house.

Towards Heilmannstrasse, the property is closed with a garden wall, which has an entrance gate in the entrance axis of the villa. In the northeast corner of the property there is a gatehouse with a garage, which has neo-Romanesque style elements. Both come from the renovation in 1913 and, like the villa itself, are under monument protection.
