Villa Huth, Protected villa in Halle (Saale), Germany.
Villa Huth is a residential building in Halle (Saale) featuring architectural design from the early 20th century. The structure preserves its original layout and decorative elements from this period.
Villa Huth was built in 1926 for the department store owner Adolf Huth. The architects were Gustav Wolff and his nephew Wilhelm Ulrich, who drew on contemporary villa designs by Frank Lloyd Wright, Erich Mendelsohn and Thilo Schoder. In the GDR period the house was temporarily used as a children's nursery before being converted back into flats.
The villa's name recalls department store owner Adolf Huth, who had it built in 1926. In GDR times the rooms served as a children's day nursery before being converted back into housing. Today an engineering firm uses part of the building as offices, while the address remains Hohen Weg 13 in Kröllwitz.
The building is protected as a heritage monument, ensuring its condition is maintained. Visitors can view the exterior from the street, but remember this is a private residence not open to the public.
The interior is split into a living wing and a servants' wing, both arranged around a circular hall, a division invisible from outside. Bedrooms and servants' rooms occupy the upper floors, while the raised ground floor holds a winter garden, dining room, music room and kitchen. This layout survives almost unchanged since 1926.
