Built in 1927 for the merchant Carl Protze, the villa is located in the traditional Briller Viertel district and is one of the architecturally significant testimonies to this era. The representative, three-storey building stands on a park-like plot of approx. 2,300 m² and impresses at first glance with its imposing appearance, the high-quality stone façade and numerous historical style elements that characterize the unmistakable character of the house. The property, which has a full basement, offers a living area of around 413 m² as well as an additional usable area of around 148 m² and impresses with its spacious, classic room layout.
Built in a baroque style under the influence of the Bergisch Heimatstil, the villa is a testament to the quality of its craftsmanship and the sophistication of its design. The façade is executed in cut ashlar and is structured by ashlar blocks at the corners of the building, cut window and door jambs and decorative elements. A single-storey conservatory in the form of an apse with a semi-circular floor plan and two-tiered terrace gives the building a special architectural touch. Wrought-iron balustrades, mullioned windows, original wooden shutters and the characteristic hipped roof with a central gable emphasize the historic elegance of the house. The enclosure with retaining wall made of quarry stone and ornate gate system with lantern attachments also blends harmoniously into the overall ensemble and underlines the prestigious effect of the property.
Inside, the villa offers generous room structures with a total of twelve rooms, including eight bedrooms and three bathrooms. The classic floor plan with separate kitchen area, high ceilings and parquet flooring, some of which has been preserved in its original state, conveys an authentic feeling of living that preserves the style of the period in which it was built. Generous window areas provide bright rooms and offer beautiful views of the extensive garden, which guarantees privacy and tranquillity with its mature trees. Two garages and two additional outdoor parking spaces complement the space on offer.
The building is in need of renovation and at the same time offers exceptional potential for restoration in keeping with its listed status. Original features such as the single-glazed wooden windows with shutters, the stone façade and numerous historical details create an excellent basis for a stylish modernization that preserves the original charm and architectural quality of the house. The existing oil-fired central heating system no longer meets today's standards, which means that a modern, energy-efficient heating system can be integrated as part of the renovation without compromising the historic character of the building.
The villa is part of the listed buildings in the Briller Viertel district and is an important testimony to Wuppertal's architectural and urban history. According to §2 (1) DSchG, its preservation and use are in the public interest for reasons of urban development, art, science and urban history. This property is therefore not only an exceptional residential property, but also a piece of architectural history - a refuge for lovers of classical architecture who appreciate the value of historical substance.
This villa combines historical substance, spaciousness and character - a building with history that offers exceptional development potential and the rare opportunity to give a listed property of special architectural value a new lease of life.
