Villa Rauch, Cultural heritage monument in Heilbronn, Germany.

Villa Rauch is a Neoclassical villa at Steinstraße 1 in Heilbronn, built 1811/12 to plans by Gottlieb von Etzel. Its five-axis facade has a column-flanked portal topped by a tympanon, with pilasters and a cornice. Rebuilt in 1949 by Adolf Braunwald without the upper storey and with reduced ornament, it stands in a garden that is now a nature reserve.

The building was constructed between 1811 and 1812 by architect Gottlieb von Etzel, reflecting early 19th-century design principles. Following destruction during bombing raids in 1944, it was rebuilt in 1949 with modifications to its original form.

The Rauch family used the house as a summer residence while living at their palais on Heilbronn's Marktplatz the rest of the year; after 1819 the growing family of Moriz von Rauch moved out and his brother Adolf's branch, called the Gartenrauch, stayed on. The Feyerabend name comes from Luise Feyerabend, née von Rauch, who inherited the estate in 1882.

The property sits within walking distance of Heilbronn's city center and is straightforward to reach while exploring the old town. The exterior grounds are viewable from the street, making it easy to observe the building and its surroundings.

The 1811 building permission was sought from King Friedrich I of Württemberg by Johann Moriz von Rauch, who had architect Gottlieb von Etzel, later a senior building official, take leave from state service for the private commission. Etzel had previously built a Neckar bridge in Heilbronn.
