Villa Hasenholz

In the location's words:

Villa Hasenholz - Kulturhaus - Biergarten - Pension für Künstler & Freunde The Villa Hasenholz is a Wilhelminian style villa with dance hall and colonade. The outdoor area with a large orchard and an old beer garden house is idyllically located directly on the edge of the Leipzig Auenwald. Even at the turn of the century, day-trippers could refresh themselves here with cool drinks and stroll around the grounds to see the latest fashions. The house has seen a lot and the change of time has left its mark. After the fall of the Berlin Wall and years of vacancy, this house threatened to fall into disrepair until it was rediscovered by Marion Salzmann in 2009. The somewhat megalomaniac goal is now not only to rescue the house in a makeshift way and to whitewash the decay, but to tease out all the charm of the past again - from uncovering the hand-painted coffered ceilings and the colorfully painted and partially gilded stucco to the original construction of the colonade and the reconstruction of the park-like garden. A big step, the reconstruction of the western colonade was accomplished with the great support of the Leipzig Monument Protection in 2012. The Villa Hasenholz is supposed to make possible private parties as well as different dance events, concerts, exhibitions, cinema. It is to become a place of relaxation, culture and understanding for a wide range of audiences. Everyone can do their part to make this happen. We are grateful for any help, whether through active cooperation, by supporting the association or simply by recommending it to others. This content has been machine translated.
