This house, belonging to department-store owner Adolf Huth, was built on Hoher Weg in the suburb of Kr\u00f6llwitz in 1926.<\/p>\n
Situated high above the Saale Valley, the house can be seen from a long way off and impresses even from a distance with its projecting hip roof over two simple orthogonally positioned blocks with rounded corners. What can\u2019t be seen from the outside is that the building is divided into a residential area and a staff area, arranged around a circular hallway. The reception and living rooms are on the upper floors. This unusual layout has been preserved almost unchanged. Architecturally, Haus Huth was inspired by contemporaries Frank Lloyd Wright, Erich Mendelsohn and Thilo Scoder. It is one of the most remarkable examples of private houses in Halle in the \u2018New Building\u2019 style. Only two years after it was built, architects Wilhelm Ulrich and Gustav Wolff designed a department store for Adolf Huth on the market\u2014a similarly impressive building, which unfortunately no longer stands.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":174514,"template":"","ort_gruppe":[25],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
