description

It is a two-and-a-half-storey house with a mansard roof in the homeland style . The high western narrow side shows the loggia and window bay. On the northern long side there is the entrance and staircase in a narrow, gabled risalit. Joachim Hennze , architecture and art historian and head of the lower conservation authority Heilbronn describes the style of the villa:

“ Moosbrugger also built his own house in 1908 in the Heimat style. It stands on the corner of Gutenbergstrasse and Lerchenstrasse, the main axes of the villa district in the east of the city, which was conceived around 1887 and laid out after 1900. The client used the relatively small hillside property by dividing the high western narrow side of the two-and-a-half-story house with a loggia and window bay window, which is provided with a striking mansard roof. He placed the entrance area and staircase on the northern long side; you will find enough space in a slender risalit with a gable roof. The beautiful staircase and the original fence around the garden have also been preserved . "

Julius Fekete also describes the neo-baroque details of the house with the baluster-framed staircase, festoon reliefs, profiled drapery , ornate window grilles , consoles decorated with volutes:

“ The interior of the villa, which has largely been handed down in its original form, is a good example of the style movement in residential architecture at the beginning of the 20th century. A distinctive feature is the building, dominated by a striking mansard roof and reminiscent of the rural architecture of the 18th century. which also presents neo-baroque motifs in the detail: at the house entrance baluster-framed staircase, festoon reliefs on the pillars of the entrance loggia, profiled entrance door walls, decorated window grilles, the street-side terrace over Rusika plinth with volute-adorned consoles; the intimate staircase with the original entrance hall ...
