Keystones of the villa

The Villa Vogesenweg 4 is a listed building in the Dresden district of Blasewitz .

history

The villa was built in 1894 based on a design by Max Georg Poscharsky (1859–1899) not far from the Blasewitz forest park . According to Poscharsky's plans, the nearby Villa Weigang was built in the same year , which is considered to be “an orderly looking structure compared to the Vosges Trail”, even if both buildings are similar in terms of their basic layout and details.

The villa was inhabited in 1930 by bank director Friedrich Behnisch. Around 1940 the villa was owned by the NS-Volkswohlfahrt . After 1945 the building became the property of the city of Dresden, was sold to a private owner in 1998 and then renovated.

Building description

The two-and-a-half-storey Villa Vogesenweg 4 is a historicist building with elements of the neo-renaissance . The floor plan and roof area are irregular, the window shapes varied. The exterior of the basement is visually separated from the smooth facade of the upper floors by polygonal masonry and a strong cornice . The plastered building is divided into sandstone , which was used for the window frames , for example . The keystones have been implemented as warrior heads, among other things.

The roof gable is designed in half-timbering and thus harmonises with the window walls and the balcony of the gable zone , which were also made of wood. There is a polygonal bay window above the deep veranda , which ends with an onion- like hood. The bay window and veranda are richly decorated.
