description
The villa-like country house is located at the foot of a former vineyard, it has a lively, irregular layout. The two main floors lie above a basement protruding from the slope , which together with the ground floor housed the office space. Special features of the building are a jagged hipped roof with tower and dormer window, rectangular as well as differently shaped arched windows and on the upper floor a loggia behind arched arcades with two columns. The corner tower shows an ornamental framework that is supported on the corner by a hermen-like atlantic figure. On the roof above there is a gargoyle in the shape of a dragon. Today's facade painting does not correspond to the design drawing from 1895, but can be seen in photos and a picture panel from the turn of the century. There you will also find information on price and equipment. The local construction business, Gebrüder Ziller, took over the construction . The final construction inspection took place in the summer of 1895.
After Haenel's death in 1911, the historian Walter von Boetticher lived in this villa from 1912 to 1945 . After his death, the house was rebuilt during GDR times and divided into two residential units. In 1982 Boetticher's heirs were expropriated. In 1990 the city of Radebeul sold the house to a private person working for the city council before the official reunification . After the reunification in 1990 and years of legal disputes, this purchase contract was declared unlawful by the courts and the house was returned to the Boettichersche Heirs, who had to sell it in 2001.
The new owners, also in the interests of the community of heirs, brought the house back to its original state through extensive repair and renovation work. In 2005, they were awarded special recognition for restoration work of the Radebeul Builders' Prize that was particularly worthy of recognition . In the following year 2006 they received the Federal Prize for Crafts in Monument Preservation . In his laudation it says that she
“[Have] restored a piece of jewelery in the villa landscape of Radebeul. [...] The demanding restoration of an impressive villa with the help of historical sources makes the original intention of the builder tangible again. While preserving the important details of the furnishings and restoring the room structures, floor plans, windows, ceilings and stairs, one of Radebeul's important villas has been rebuilt. The generous new design of the entire complex in the tradition of Radebeul as a wine-growing location forms the perfect setting for the monument. "
The garden to the villa is listed as an annex to the preservation order. In the garden there is a life-size statue of Fortuna with a base, the design of which is attributed to Balthasar Permoser (1651–1732).
