Villa Gustav Lohmann

The villa features a symmetrical facade with five window axes, two full stories, and a mezzanine level constructed in Paris sandstone.

Gustav Lohmann, a factory and distillery owner, commissioned architect Wilhelm Bovensiepen to build this residence in 1873 next to the family business.

The triangular pediment incorporates allegories of industry and commerce, with a caduceus symbol representing the entrepreneurial activities of the period.

Located at Ruhrstraße 78 in Witten, the villa includes the main building, a greenhouse, and separate houses for gardeners and coachmen.

The property contains a rediscovered hourglass-shaped pond with an arch bridge, which received monument protection status in 2019.
