history

Advertisement for the Weidhaas spa facility (Lily, 1895). Villa Spiro spero far left

According to an advertisement from 1895, the building contractor Carl Ernst Claus built this villa at Hohen Strasse 7 according to a design by the construction company Gebrüder Große . This villa was the southernmost of the five Weidhaas'schen villas , which together were a health resort for asthma sufferers of Paul Weidhaas, a naturopath represented. In 1898 the owner Martha Weidhaas had an extension built on the side wing, which was built by the master builder Hugo Große , one of the two owners of the Große Brothers.

In 1901 the widow Martha Weidhaas still owned the villas at numbers 7, 15 and 17 (today 35, 43 and 45 ) on the west side of the street from the Weidhaas'schen Kurinstitut . The northernmost villa at No. 17 was sold to the author, journalist and factory owner Silvia Brand in the course of 1901 .

Further construction activities followed in 1921 with the construction of a wagon shed, a goat and pig sty and a hayloft. It was later expanded into a laundry sewing facility along with structural extensions. In 1927 the entrance porch was increased.

House name

The house name probably refers to the saying Dum spiro spero (dt. "As long as I breathe, I hope.") By Cicero ("Epistulae ad Atticum" ("Letters to Atticus") ). It means "I breathe, I hope" and probably refers to the illness of asthma patients.
