Villa Gustav Lohmann – Wikipedia
The Villa Gustav Lohmann is one of the representative entrepreneurial villas of the Lohmann family on Ruhrstraße in Witten, North Rhine-Westphalia.
The house was built on the property of Ruhrstraße 78 on behalf of Gustav Lohmann (1847–1934) on behalf of Gustav Lohmann (1847–1934). [first] The design is characterized by historicism and “Italian” style. The facade consists of a representative Parisian sandstone and is divided by five windows axes as well as two fully developed and a mezzanine floor. The mighty middle risalite with free stairs and two -storey portico also sets a clear accent.
The main house was created in the immediate vicinity of the Lohmann family’s grain distillery. At the same time as the main building, a greenhouse and a gardener and coachman’s house were built behind the house.
The ground floor of the villa originally served purely representative purposes. The portal first came to a reception room, to the right of it was the men’s room, which was also reached from the side entrance on the right building side. On the left, the reception room, salon and dining room formed a connected room escape (Enilade). On the first floor there were family private rooms, all work rooms and the personnel accommodation were in the basement, in the mezzanine floor or completely outside the building.
After 1882 and after 1903, the building in the front area was redesigned twice, especially by closing the podium to the free stairs and other smaller corrections of the front.
Around 1900 Wilhelm Dittmann, founder of the company Dittmann & Neuhaus , the building.
The building was badly damaged in the Second World War, whereby the roof structure and mezzanine floor burned out.
The villa has been under monument protection since 1985. It is part of the route of industrial culture.
Behind the villa originally extended a richly equipped landscape garden, which offered an idyllic picture with curved paths, a moving railing, extensive lawn, trees, trees, decorative beds, a pond with a bridge and a grotto. The garden design was greatly simplified in the course of the 20th century, the pond was filled. [2]
In 2018, the ensemble was rediscovered from the hourly glass -shaped pond including the bow bridge at the narrow point and the subsequent grotto structure and also made a listed building in 2019. In May 2020, the garden grotto was recognized by the LWL monument preservation, landscape and building culture in Westphalia as the monument to the month in Westphalia-Lippe. [2]

- ↑ The online leader “Baukunst-NRW” published by the North Rhine-Westphalia Chamber of Architects false the building date with 1865 and names the architect Wilhelm Bovensiepen from Kupferdreh, but names the owner of the building owner Gustav Lohmann, who are well before the construction period .

The building request is dated on May 3, 1873, the construction permit on July 4, 1873. (cf. Kristina Schramm, Daniele Guagliardo: Villa Gustav Lohmann, building history. )
