The Weinschenk Villa is a Regensburg architectural monument from the Neo-Baroque era with elements of Art Nouveau . It is located at Hoppestraße 6 (until 1981: house number Hoppestraße 3) behind the Dörnbergpark . The architect Joseph Koch built the villa in 1898/99 for the Jewish banker , patron and liberal city councilor Max Weinschenk , who together with his wife Sophie created a regional center of urban salon culture here. The painter Max Wissner (born June 18, 1873 in Geiersberg ; † June 14, 1959 in Regensburg) had his studio in the tower room.
In 1920 Weinschenk moved with his family to Munich and rented the house. At the time of National Socialism , it was forcibly "Aryanized" and from 1936 onwards it was used by the Wehrmacht as an office building. After 1945 the American military government housed a state main fund here . Father Emmeram tried to establish a seminary in the Weinschenk villa, but it did not succeed. The house was converted into a restaurant ("Münchner Löwenbräu") and later acquired by the Upper Palatinate district , who extensively restored it. Inside, historicizing rooms can be seen, including an Arabic room, a Renaissance oriel room and a Rococo salon.
In 1986 the Weinschenk-Villa was opened to the public as a district center; The cultural administration of the Upper Palatinate district had its headquarters here from 1996 to 2006. During this time, numerous events were held that linked to the cultural tradition represented by Max Weinschenk: u. a. Exhibitions, book presentations, readings by the authors Margret Hölle , Albert von Schirnding , Peter Horst Neumann , Godehard Schramm and Harald Grill , song and chamber music premieres by the composers Ernst Kutzer and Jens Joneleit as well as performances by the actors Wolf Euba and Dorothee Hartinger ( Miss Else ) .
