Villa Kolbe in Radebeul: Refurbishment ensures stop through monument protection!

Radebeul, Deutschland - In Radebeul is the impressive Villa Kolbe Jewel from 1890/91, currently the focus of the renovation work. The owner, René Kuhnt, bought the villa in spring 2022 and after years of decay, in which the villa was empty for 30 years, there is now a breath of fresh air. The surrounding garden, which was once overgrown, now presents itself with a new lawn and a free view of the magnificent villa.

Kuhnt works committed and visits the construction site three times a week. While the west side is now completely renovated and unsightly graffiti have disappeared, the north and east facade are currently being reinforced by a new scaffolding. "There is a lot of work, but the progress is visible," says Kuhnt. Extensive work in particular in the roof area is also in progress: gable, turrets and bayards have been re -covered, and the jewelry elements on the roof are now even shining with gold leaf.

a piece of history is lively again

The architecture of the villa is considered one of the most complex in the city and is characterized by the style of a German Renaissance castle, as the author of berndroth.net Visitors are often overwhelmed by the magnificent design and the decorated columns in the basement and can be found in a historical ambience that almost seemed forgotten.

The city of Radebeul paid a symbolic euro for the area and then resold it to Kuhnt for 35,000 euros. This decision shows how important the preservation of such historical buildings is for the city. However, it is not just about the building itself, but also about the adjacent park. In this, original lawns and old paths were reconstructed; However, further work is currently being restored due to the lack of permits that the monument protection authority must grant.

an open day

An important date is already on the calendar: On September 14, 2023, an open day will take place, in which interested parties can visit the renovated Villa Kolbe. Kuhnt plans to complete the outer shell by mid -September 2023, which should already attract a variety of curious looks.

with a landscape architect, Kuhnt works on the new parking plans, which will soon be presented to the monument protection authority. So it remains exciting how the history of Villa Kolbe continues and what treasures it will offer in the future.
