Villa Rosenhof Loschwitz, Heritage villa in Loschwitz, Germany.
Villa Rosenhof is located at Schevenstraße 11 in Dresden and displays Neo-Renaissance architecture with detailed exterior elements and ornamental patterns. The building was converted into multiple residential units after World War II, with each apartment accessed through separate entrances.
The site was a vineyard owned until 1627 by Rittmeister von Schönberg and from 1753 by the Güntz publishing family. In 1848 the Villa Solitude was built as a summer residence. Rosa Freifrau von Hausen acquired the property in 1884 and had architect Oskar Kaiser build the present Neo-Renaissance villa in 1885–86 for herself and her husband Clemens Freiherr von Hausen.
The villa reflects the lifestyle and tastes of Dresden's wealthy residents during the 1880s through its architectural design and grounds layout. The way the building is divided into separate living spaces today shows how people have adapted grand houses for modern residential needs.
The house is located in Loschwitz, a neighborhood of Dresden, and remains in residential use as private apartments today. Visitors should be aware that it is an occupied home and public access to the grounds may be limited.
The well house stands beside the villa, not inside it, and its 41-metre shaft was dug in 1725. The same ensemble of protected structures includes the vineyard terraces, retaining walls, a small vineyard house and a gate from around 1640 that opens onto the Körnerweg.
