Villa Haux

Villa Haux is a residential mansion built in the Art Nouveau style with detailed stucco decorations, upholstered walls, and large windows that flood its rooms with light. The building displays the characteristic design elements typical of early 20th-century luxury homes.

The villa was built in 1908 by architects Richard Böklen and Carl Feil as a residence for Friedrich Haux, a prosperous textile manufacturer. It was constructed during a period when the region's wealth grew significantly through industrial expansion.

The villa functions as a venue for various cultural activities including exhibitions, lecture series, and professional gatherings in the Albstadt region.

The building now functions as corporate offices and is used to host public events and gatherings. Visitors interested in viewing the interior should inquire ahead of time about access to the building or scheduled occasions.

When first built, the house incorporated cutting-edge home technology for the time, including a central vacuum system, an elevator, and a heating system throughout the building. These features were exceptionally modern for 1908 and reflect the owner's wealth and technological ambitions.
