Villa Baare

Villa Baare, Villa in Höntrop, Bochum, Germany.

Villa Baare is a villa at Reiterweg 13 in the Höntrop district of Bochum, built in 1888 for Louis Baare, general director of the Bochumer Verein für Gußstahlfabrikation. It was extended with a service building and in 1904 with a tower and annexes. A local association now runs a Waldorf kindergarten there.

The building was constructed in 1888 by an industrial company as a residence for their director Louis Baare. A tower and additional structures were added in 1904 by his son Fritz.

The street beside the villa was called Baarestraße until Höntrop was incorporated into Wattenscheid, a name taken from the family of Louis Baare. Since 1974 the house has belonged to the city of Wattenscheid, and today a local association runs a Waldorf kindergarten in the rooms.

The building is not open to the public as it operates as a kindergarten facility. The exterior gardens are visible from the surrounding streets and give a sense of the original landscape design.

The adjacent section of Höntroper Straße was called Baarestraße until Höntrop was incorporated into Wattenscheid, a name taken from the villa's first owner. The house stands directly beside the former Zeche Vereinigte Maria Anna Steinbank colliery.
