The Villa Roser is an upper-class villa in the home style on Killesberg in Stuttgart-Nord in Feuerbacher Weg 51 from the years 1925-26.

Just like the Landhaus Roser , the Feuerbach leather manufacturer family Willy Roser commissioned the building. The architect of the property was one of the main representatives of the Stuttgart School, alongside Paul Bonatz , the homeland security architect Paul Schmitthenner .

architecture

The Villa Roser is a cube-shaped (cubic), block-like, closed structure, covered with slurry plaster, made of brick masonry. It is covered by a high hipped roof , which is covered with beaver tails . The floor plan and the facade are strictly subject to an axially symmetrical structure grid. The villa was seen as a model of living culture for a conservative, upper class bourgeoisie , but also as a model for the “German residential building”.

Todays use

Today the Villa Roser is owned by the Catholic Church Community of Stuttgart. In 1986 the property was thoroughly restored.

Landhaus Roser

Shortly before the Villa Roser was built by Paul Schmitthenner, Paul Bonatz built the stately Roser country house in a further neighborhood, also on behalf of the Roser family of manufacturers. This is located at Am Bismarck Tower 58 . Both buildings together are considered to be an exposed example of the span of the work of the “Stuttgart School” during the Weimar period .
