Villa Swiderski

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Villa Swiderski (1898)

The original Villa Swiderski (later Villa Reclam ) was an upper-class villa in Leipzig and part of the villa ring along Karl-Tauchnitz-Straße in the music district . The house was badly damaged in an air raid on December 4, 1943 during the Second World War and the ruins were blown up in 1947. Remnants of the ruins were used as building material for the construction of the Philipp Reclam publishing house in the Graphic Quarter (Inselstraße 22-24).

The villa was designed in 1894 by the Leipzig architect Arwed Roßbach (1844–1902) and built for the manufacturer Philipp Swiderski (* 1836). His son, the German chess master Rudolf Swiderski (1878–1909), also lived here for a while. The house originally had the address Carl-Tauchnitz-Straße 51 . In 1901 the spelling of the street name was officially changed to Karl-Tauchnitz-Straße , presumably at the same time the properties were renumbered, the building later had house number 35. From 1909 the publisher and printer's owner Hans Heinrich Reclam (1840–1920) lived in this house . Reclam can be traced back to 1900 as the owner and apparently also as the resident of the villa.
