Villa Porsche

Villa Porsche is a residential property in Stuttgart-Nord built on a steep slope with multiple levels connected by a custom automobile elevator leading to the garage. The complex includes a guest apartment, several bedrooms, and a specialized garage system providing vehicle access from different floor levels.

The house was built in 1923 as the residence of Ferdinand Porsche, an automotive pioneer, and became connected to early vehicle development activities. Its construction reflected the growing importance of Stuttgart as an industrial center during that period.

The house blends regional architectural traditions with modern design through its red sandstone base and distinctive asymmetrical gabled roofs. Visitors today can still observe these features, which reflect the local building style of that era.

The property sits on a sloped terrain making access somewhat challenging and requiring attention while navigating the narrow streets of this Stuttgart neighborhood. Visitors should allow extra time and preferably arrive on foot or by public transit to avoid parking difficulties.

A remarkable feature is the specialized garage with an integrated workshop area equipped in 1935 with lathes and other machinery for vehicle testing. This functional blend of living and working spaces reveals how automotive pioneers at the time integrated their professional pursuits with their homes.
