Villa Zietz

Villa Zietz is a residential building in the Weisser Hirsch district showcasing early 1900s architectural design with carefully crafted exterior details and solid construction. The structure reflects the grand building style of Dresden's upscale neighborhoods from that period.

The building was constructed in 1912 by architect Max Herfurt for tobacco manufacturer Hugo Zietz, becoming part of the growing villa landscape in the area. The family was among the business figures who shaped Dresden's development during this period.

The villa represents the social status of Dresden's industrial elite during the early 1900s, when tobacco business leaders commissioned substantial private residences.

The property is located in a quiet residential area best explored on foot, providing access to other nearby historic buildings. The surrounding area has no major roads, making a visit straightforward and pleasant.

The original building was called Villa Waldhaus before adopting the name of its owner. This renaming reflects how private residences in the early 1900s were often known by their owners' names.
