Location

The villa is located at Drobného 22 (formerly Sadová – Park Street) in the Brno-Sever district in the cadastral municipality of Černá Pole, northeast of and not far from Brno's old town. In the 1860s, the development of the hillside plots above Lužánky Park (Augarten) began according to an urban planning concept by Heinrich von Ferstel. The area with its villas developed into one of the most desirable residential areas in Brno.

History and architecture

Street façade before renovation (2013)
Construction of the villa began in 1903 according to a design by architect Alexander Neumann. The client was the entrepreneur Moritz Fuhrmann (1850–1910). According to the magazine for the municipal capital of Brno, the villa housed four apartments with a total of 14 rooms, 7 closets, 3 kitchens, 2 bathrooms and 6 toilets. The almost symmetrical street-side façade looks elegant with its two side projections. The main entrance is on the right. From the anteroom, a few steps lead to the large central hall with the main staircase to the upper floor. This is naturally lit by a pyramid-shaped glass roof. On the garden side, stairs lead from a terrace into the park. The upper parts of the façade are decorated with a band of Art Nouveau stucco decoration, while the lower parts are highlighted with imitation rustication. Similar decorations can also be found on the walls and ceilings of the interior, some of which are also made as wood carvings. Art Nouveau floral motifs also adorn ceramic tiles and the cast-iron stair railings. After Fuhrmann's death, his heirs sold the villa to the textile entrepreneur Alfred Löw-Beer (1872–1939) in August 1913 for 290,000 crowns. The new owner later had some changes made by the Viennese architect Rudolf Baumfeld (1903-1988) - probably under the impression of the Tugendhat house built for his daughter and son-in-law. The Jewish family had to leave the house in 1939 and emigrate abroad. The house was confiscated by the Gestapo in 1940, after 1945 it was nationalized and used as a youth center until 2012. The old customs house, a functional building that was used for stables and as a garden house, is also located in the villa's park.
