The Villa Streccius is a historic building in Landau in the Palatinate .
Building history
The Villa Streccius was built in 1892 according to plans by the Karlsruhe architect Ludwig Levy . In 1904 a horse stable with a carriage shed was built as the rear building. The client was the lawyer and notary Heinrich Streccius. Renovations and refurbishments took place in the 1960s and late 1990s.
use
Initially, the villa was used as a residential building and notary's office for the client until it was "handed over" to the NSDAP district leadership in 1935 . In 1941, the Nazi war victims' supply also moved into some rooms in the back of the building.
After the war ended in 1945, the representative building was confiscated by the French occupying forces and declared the seat of the commanding general.
The villa became the property of the city administration in 1957 and has been used as an exhibition space for contemporary art since 1959. In 1996 the community foundation of the city of Landau in the Palatinate acquired the building and in 1998 it was extensively renovated. The municipal gallery in the Villa Streccius is used alternately by the cultural department of the city of Landau and the art association Villa Streccius eV for temporary exhibitions. Since 2012, the Institute for Art History and Fine Arts of the University of Koblenz-Landau has been located on the 2nd floor with the “Work Area Art and Art Didactic Projects”.
