Villa Spaeth on Dutzendteichstrasse

The Villa Spaeth (Villa Späth), also known as the Falk Villa, is a Wilhelminian style entrepreneurial villa in the southeast of Nuremberg , Dutzendteichstraße 24. It houses the sports boarding school House of Athletes .

history

The villa was built in 1874 by Konradin Walther for Johannes Falk, the son-in-law of the Nuremberg machine manufacturer Johann Wilhelm Spaeth, in the style of a castle in northern France. In 1929, the Frankfurt merchant Paul Simon bought the property and had it converted by Ludwig Ruff . After he came to power in 1933, the National Socialists pushed Simon out of his property because of his Jewish descent. From 1945, the Americans first used the property.

The representative villa on the former park-like property has been in the possession of the Archdiocese of Bamberg since 1956 and was the seat of the St. Paul's Catholic Boys' Seminary from 1957 to 1998. Since the 1970s, the listed villa has been enclosed on three sides by various extensions.

Todays use

Today the facility houses the House of Athletes , a boarding school for young athletes run by the city of Nuremberg . The students attend schools in Nuremberg, especially the Bertolt Brecht School and the Lothar von Faber Technical College, and train at Nuremberg clubs such as 1. FC Nürnberg . The neighboring department of education at the university also uses dormitories and other rooms.

The once planned additional structural addition to include two block-like structures on the previously free front was and is controversial because it would obscure the view of the facade.
