Villa Seelig

Villa Seelig in Heilbronn

The Villa Seelig is a villa at Wilhelmstrasse 25 in Heilbronn .

description

The two-and-a-half-storey villa was built in 1877 based on plans by Robert von Reinhardt for the chicory manufacturer Emil Seelig on what was then the southern edge of Heilbronn.

The Villa Seelig has an entrance on the ground floor with a triangular gable and heraldic cartouche as the upper end. A metope and triglyph frieze is located to the right and left of the entrance area, above the side shop windows and directly below the first horizontal cornice on the facade, in the transition area from the ground floor to the first floor.

On the first floor there are pilasters or pilaster strips and a balustrade. The mezzanine floor below the roof, a so-called mezzanine floor, has white figure friezes that are lined with pilasters. In the attic there is a neoclassical gable from 1929. The ground floor and the interior design of the entire building were changed significantly in the 1940s and 1990s.

In 1950 there was Emil Tengelmann's coffee shop on the first floor. In 1961 the Büsing dye works and dry cleaning company moved into the ground floor, as well as Richard Ruff's photo studio and Arthur Krüger's grocery store. The compensation office of the city of Heilbronn used rooms on the first floor.
