history
The cadastre of the Lower Monument Authority dates the construction between 1832 and 1860. In fact, Bachstrasse was not opened up as a building site until after 1860. The cloth manufacturer Franz Schnabel, partner in the cloth factory C. & F. Schnabel , took this as an opportunity to build a house there. In 1866 the Franz Schnabel family moved to the villa. It took a few servants to operate the large house and the spacious garden. There was a “1. and 2nd girl ”, a cook, a laundress, an ironer, a stoker and a gardener. During the Second World War , the military were often billeted; Evacuees and refugees stayed here in the 1950s. On the first day of the US occupation, residents had to vacate the house to make way for a command post. In 1959 a roundabout was built near the villa. A not inconsiderable part of the villa garden had to give way, including a hundred-year-old red beech and a fountain. Today Villa Schnabel is privately owned.
