"Sonnenhaus" Villa of Henrietta and Otto Bamberger in Lichtenfels, Upper Franconia, Bavaria, Germany
Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: "Sonnenhaus" (= Solar House), erected in 1914 by the German architect August Berger of Hildburghausen in Upper Franconia for the family of German entrepreneur Otto Bamberger located at Kronacher Strasse 19 in Lichtenfels, Upper Franconia, Bavaria. The street name was changed to Adolf-Hitler-Strasse after the Nazis came to power. In 1937 the villa's address changed from no. 19 to 21, so today its address is Kronacher Strasse 21. In 1928 the interior of the villa got completely redesigned and fitted by Bauhaus designer Erich Dieckmann (1896–1944) who was a friend of Otto Bamberger. Due to his Jewish background and his membership in the Social Democratic Party (SPD) Bamberger in 1933 was incarcerated in Frankfurt am Main by Sturmabteilung (SA) troops where he got interrogated. After his release he died caused by a heart attack. In 1938 his son Klaus and his wife Henrietta „Jetta“ Bamberger (1886–1978), née Wolff, emigrated to the US, in 1939 his daughter Ruth, too. During "Kristallnacht" on 9 November 1938 local Sturmabteilung (SA) troops raided the villa, destroyed a historic dutch tiled stove in the main living room and threw hundreds of books from the villa's library on the street. The next day Bamberger's collection of several hundreds of artwork by Ernst Barlach, Max Beckmann, Marc Chagall, Lovis Corinth, Otto Dix, Paul Klee, Oskar Kokoschka, Käthe Kollwitz, Alfred Kubin, Wilhelm Lehmbruck, Max Liebermann, Franz Marc, Paula Modersohn und Emil Nolde and others were confiscated as degenerate. The villa today is a protected monument and will be used as a children's after-school care club. The picture might be made either during WWII or after. The villa's fence, then described as painted in shiny white seems at that time shabby. The villa's roof ridge seems to be repaired.
Deutsch: „Sonnenhaus“, Baujahr 1914, der Familie Otto Bamberger, errichtet durch Architekt August Berger (Hildburghausen) in der Kronacher Straße 19 (ab 1937: Adolf-Hitler-Straße 21, heute Kronacher Straße 21) in Lichtenfels, Oberfranken. Das Interieur der Villa wurde 1928 durch Bauhaus-Designer Erich Dieckmann (1896–1944) komplett neu gestaltet und ausgestattet. 1933 „Schutzhaft“ des Hausherrn Otto Bamberger (1885–1933) in Frankfurt am Main als jüdischer Unternehmer und SPD-Mitglied, Verhör, kurz danach verstorben. 1938 Flucht der Witwe Henriette „Jette“ Bamberger (1886–1978), geborene Wolff, in die USA. Ausstattung der Villa während der „Reichskristallnacht“ durch Lichtenfelser Nationalsozialisten teils zerstört (historischer niederländischer Kachelofen) und hunderte Bücher aus der Bibliothek auf die Straße geworfen. Namhafte und umfangreiche Kunstsammlung hunderter Werke (z. B. Ernst Barlach, Max Beckmann, Marc Chagall, Lovis Corinth, Otto Dix, Paul Klee, Oskar Kokoschka, Käthe Kollwitz, Alfred Kubin, Wilhelm Lehmbruck, Max Liebermann, Franz Marc, Paula Modersohn und Emil Nolde) als „entartet“ klassifiziert, beschlagnahmt und größtenteils nie zurückerstattet. Die Villa steht heute unter Denkmalschutz und wird künftig als Kinderhort genutzt. Das Foto dürfte aus der Kriegs- oder Nachkriegszeit stammen. Die Bäume stehen noch außerhalb des Bürgersteigs am Straßenrand, heute unzulässig. Der ehemals leuchtend weiß gestrichene Zaun wirkt verwahrlost, nur Farbreste sind zu erkennen. Der Dachfirst der Villa weist eine Reparaturstelle auf. |
