The Villa Zietz is a listed building located at Am Hochwald 1 in the Weißer Hirsch district of Dresden . It is considered a “splendid historicist villa”.

history

The Villa Zietz was built between 1910 and 1912 by Max Herfurt for the entrepreneur Hugo Zietz - he had the tobacco mosque Yenidze built in Dresden until 1909 - as a summer house. It lies on the edge of the Dresdner Heide . Herfurt created a number of buildings on the Weißer Hirsch, whereby the Villa Zietz “is a good example of Herfurth's work in terms of building materials and proportions”. Zietz's family owned the villa, which was initially called Villa Waldhaus , until 1945 and then became the property of the Soviet headquarters. The villa was later used as a kindergarten, among other things, and is now inhabited again.

Building description

Hunting relief on the villa

The Villa Zietz was built as an asymmetrical plastered building in a historic country house style. It "impresses with a rich design language". The central gable is made in the neo-renaissance style and decorated sparingly. The villa has a polygonal turret and various window formats and shapes that are typical of Herfurth's buildings. The porch is emphasized by half-timbering, a wooden bay window and a "rusticated entrance gate", the upper floor is also clad with dark, solid wood and gives the house an autochthonous character. At the same time, the villa, with its voluminous and widely overlapping tiled roof and its asymmetrical structure, appears playful and romantic, but also stately.

Typical of the decorations is, for example, the relief of a beehive above the entrance to the villa, which is supposed to symbolize Zietz's hard work. The parapet of the left corner bay is decorated with stucco with a hunting scene. Colored lead glass windows in the stairwell of the villa show the path of two tobacco boxes from the plantation to the warehouse. The painting was done by Josef Goller .

In addition to the villa, there is also a coach house on the property.
