Villa Trebitsch
The Villa Trebitsch , built between 1907 and 1908 for the writer and translator Siegfried Trebitsch , is a representative residential building at Maxingstrasse 20 in the 13th district of Hietzing in Vienna . Today it serves as the residence of the Slovak ambassador.
The building's draftsman was Ernst Gotthilf , the construction was in charge of city architect Hugo Schuster , who built it for Siegfried Trebitsch, the translator of George Bernard Shaw's works . A glass house in the garden that had existed since 1893 was replaced in 1915 by a new building by Adolf Micheroli (1864–1935). The villa was confiscated during the Nazi era and served as the office of a military tribunal, the valuable interior was auctioned to pay the escape tax extorted from Trebitsch . Among them was u. a. a two-part armored cash box from SJ Arnheim . Because of the “Aryan” origin of Trebitsch's wife Tina, who owns half of the property, the house was not “ Aryanized ”. In 1946/47 it was sold to the Czechoslovak Republic ; In 1990 it was fundamentally rebuilt on all floors according to plans by Franz Josef Perotti. The building is now occasionally used for cultural purposes.
