history
Adolar von Donop (1846-1922) was the youngest son of the married couple August von Donop and Auguste von Donop and the brother of Lionel and Hugo von Donop . Like many of his ancestors and relatives, von Donop had close ties to the Lippe family , including being Leopold III's personal adjutant . and under Ernst zur Lippe-Biesterfeld Fürstlich-Lippischer Chamberlain. Unlike his brothers, he lived in Detmold until his death. After marrying Anna Elisabeth Lucie Troost (1848–1920) from the Hornoldendorf manor , he moved into an apartment on Gartenstrasse in 1868.
After the Franco-German War , Detmold experienced rapid growth, especially in terms of the built-up area, out of the confines of the historic city center. The projected residential areas south of the city were considered the preferred residential area. The name Freiligrathstraße was determined as early as 1871 , the actual street was built around 1875. Von Donop commissioned the government architect Bernhard Hermann Meyer, who was in office from 1882 to 1887, to design a villa on the corner of Freiligrathstraße and Palaisstraße and submitted the building application on July 3, 1886 Wish to be able to move into the house in the same year if possible. The shell was completed in November 1886 and the move took place in 1887. At that time, the property on Freiligrathstrasse was already fenced in with a wall. On the other hand, there was only a wooden fence facing Palaisstrasse, as the exact course of the street and the house line had not yet been determined. It was not until 1902 that the still existing shell limestone wall with iron grating was built on both sides of the street according to plans by the master builder Martin Danjes.

The quarry stone villa with an irregular floor plan stands on a high basement and has a full floor.
On the street corner, the building has a two-storey, tower-like porch with a pyramid roof . On the roof there is a circumferential wrought-iron parapet and a weather vane. In the roof are three roof houses, the middle one with a hipped roof , the two smaller ones with a Welscher hood . In front of the porch there is still a söller with leaded glass windows in the narrow sides. The covered patio on it has recently been closed with windows and boards. A side elevation protrudes slightly towards Freiligrathstrasse . There are obelisks on both sides of the gable, and stone spheres stretch up the edge of the roof. The facing gable is completed by an artfully crafted wall anchor and a fan rosette .
The roof surfaces are clad with slate, ridges and ridges accentuated with reddish slate panels. These decorations were lost on the tower roof during a renovation after 1995.
The entrance, which can be reached via a flight of stairs and a platform, has a glass canopy on an ornate iron structure, from which hangs a lantern with an iron frame. The double-leaf front door probably comes from the construction time. Inside, the room layout and essential parts of the furnishings, including historical wooden decorations, have been preserved. The wrought-iron gate facing Freiligrathstraße contains the initials of the Donop couple: AvD and LvD.
The windows deserve further mention, many of which are still in the state in which it was built, some of them as leaded glass . For example, show the side windows in the balcony , among other things, a white amphora that is whirls of three blue flowers. The full coat of arms of Adolar von Donops is shown in the middle skylight wing of the dining room window. Particularly noteworthy is the lead-glazed skylight dome in the hallway on the upper floor: the coat of arms of Lippe is shown in the center of a large area, with a green, curved ribbon around it, which is interrupted on two opposite sides by the Donop noble coat of arms.
