Villa Duttenhofer, Historic villa in Rottweil, Germany.
Villa Duttenhofer stands as an elegant two-story building with a hipped roof, featuring a polygonal corner bay window, cornices, and arched windows that define its architectural character.
Built in 1857 as the residence of powder manufacturer Max von Duttenhofer, the villa was designed by Stuttgart architect Emil Otto Tafel during the industrial boom period.
The villa served as a prestigious venue where the Rottweiler Narrenmarsch was premiered in 1899, and it hosted the Württemberg royal couple, establishing its cultural significance.
Visitors can explore the restored interior featuring original woodwork, ornamental plasterwork, and period furnishings through guided tours and cultural exhibitions held at the site.
The villa contains a copy of the Orpheus mosaic created by Oskar Hölder for the entrance hall, representing an exceptional artistic element within this Baden-Württemberg heritage monument.
