history

The sandstone-clad and finely decorated villa of the publisher Leopold Gebhardt, owner of J. M. Gebhardt's Verlag, was built by Arwed Roßbach from 1880 to 1881 in the form of the Italian Renaissance with sweeping stairs and terraces.

After the Jewish Gebhardt family had been expropriated by the National Socialists as part of the Aryanization , the Musisches Gymnasium was set up in the building in 1941 , which was moved to Nossen in 1944 and existed there until it was closed in 1945.

After the Second World War , the building became the clinic of SAG Transmasch (successor company of Adolf Bleichert & Co. ) and was used as a medical facility until the political change (most recently as a company policlinic for the Leipzig construction workers ). With a modern extension, it has been part of a nursing home since 2003.
