history

Before the First World War , numerous representative apartments and holiday homes were built on Zeppelinstrasse. On the corner plot of Zeppelinstrasse / Rosenstrasse, which at that time had the address Zeppelinstrasse 11, a villa was built in 1913/1914 according to plans by the architect Ernst Niederberger for the building contractor Matthias Birkle . It had eleven rooms and three girls' chambers and offered its residents a view of the Swiss mountains on the other side of Lake Constance .

Karl Maybach's family lived in the house from 1920 to 1922 . Later it belonged to the entrepreneur Ernst Sachs , after whom it was named. Sachs bought the property in 1925 and made it available to his mother Pauline, who died in 1926, and his siblings Albert, Lina and Maria as a retirement home. He himself also stayed in the Friedrichshafen villa again and again in the following years.

The Villa Sachs was demolished in 1977 and replaced by an apartment building. Only the sandstone walls and the old driveway to the property have been preserved.

The Villa Sachs and the Villa Jehle are named in a newspaper article as "exposed examples of the earlier villa culture in Friedrichshafen", the loss of which was not due to bomb damage in the Second World War , but which "fell victim to the wrecking ball" . While the Villa Sachs had apparently survived the war without major damage, the Villa Jehle was destroyed and rebuilt in 1949 according to the old plans.

The former Villa Sachs is station No. 9 on Maybach-Weg in Friedrichshafen.
