history
The Villa Maria was built around 1879 as a "neoclassical villa in the country house style". The villa, which was originally called Villa Dora , was later named after Maria Rink. She owned the villa shortly after 1900 and was rumored to be an illegitimate daughter of Friedrich August III.
Before 1945 the house was maintained by various measures, it fell into disrepair until the 1970s. When the opera singer Gunther Emmerlich bought the house, the upper floor of the villa, which was in acute danger of collapse, had already been closed. Emmerlich had the building extensively restored after 1990. Among other things, ornamentally designed tiles came to light in the entrance area, which had previously been covered by several layers of linoleum .
The villa is based on Italian neoclassicism. It has highlighted walls and a tower on the back that bears the name of the villa. On the outside wall of the property is a plaque with the inscription "Absolutely nothing happened here in 1875."
In 1988 the film The Christmas Goose Auguste was shot in the villa .
