„Unternehmervilla – Wein Villa“ – „100 Years Adolf Cluss“
The architect Adolf Cluss was born in Heilbronn in 1825 and emigrated to the USA in 1848. Until 1858, he belonged to the inner circle of communists around Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, and after 1864 he became Washington’s most important architect. To mark the 100th anniversary of Adolf Cluss’s death in 2005, parallel exhibitions were held in Washington DC and Heilbronn. An international program of events focused on the life and work of Adolf Cluss. The traces of his life are milestones in the city’s history. In front of the Wein Villa in Heilbronn you can also find several statues and monuments.
Heilbronn’s high society
Around 1900, Adolf Cluss’s siblings were part of the city’s high society, one of its leading families. Since the 1870s, they had lived in Cäcilienstraße, in keeping with their status, and a decade later, they moved to Lerchenberg. They were committed to the city, for example at the great industrial exhibition in 1897 or in support of the new theater building. They met in the circles of high society and demonstrated their status through charity work. Henriette Faißt and her son Hugo supported the composer Hugo Wolf. When Hugo Faiẞt died childless in 1914, he left the city of Heilbronn a large legacy from the Faißt family: 100,000 marks in capital for the poor, 100,000 marks for theater purposes, and 100,000 marks “for oratorios and the like”.
A prestigious new villa in a prime location – this is how the house that sugar factory director Andreas Faißst purchased in 1875 might have been advertised. He immediately had it renovated by the renowned Stuttgart architect Robert von Reinhardt before moving in with his wife Henriette, née Cluss. The purchase did not bring the owner good fortune – he died two years after moving in. His widow, Henriette Faißt, continued to renovate and expand the house, transforming it into a “house full of flowers and music.” After her death, the house changed hands several times and was used as a commercial and administrative building. It was not until 1995 that this Italian Renaissance gem was renovated and turned into the WeinVilla.
