Villa Artushof

Villa Artushof sits at Malerstraße 18 in Loschwitz and shows stone walls, a gate tower, and gardens overlooking the Elbe valley. The building combines late romantic architecture with neo-Gothic details and forms a compact complex on the hillside above the river.

The architect Reinhold Schreyer built the property between 1893 and 1895 for his brother Arthur Schreyer. Later Anna Fischer-Dückelmann ran a small naturopathic clinic here between 1906 and 1917.

The building carries a name rooted in Richard Wagner's opera Parsifal and echoes medieval forms through late romantic design. Visitors today see elements like the arched gate and tower that make this theatrical connection to 19th-century music visible.

All parts of the complex stand under heritage protection, including the gate wall, tower, garage, well, and garden layout. The site sits on the steep Elbe slope and offers an elevated position with a wide view into the valley.

Germany's first female naturopathic physician Anna Fischer-Dückelmann set up her practice here and received patients from across Europe. She wrote medical guides in the same house that were read by millions during her lifetime.
