Haag-Villa
Haag-Villa stands in Augsburg as a two-storey neo-Renaissance building with a T-shaped layout. Its red and yellow Franconian sandstone façade reflects Italian villa models and Gründerzeit ambitions. Fountains, trees and gas-lit paths still shape the surrounding park, one of Augsburg’s few surviving villa grounds.
Johannes Haag commissioned the building in 1877 as a director’s villa for his factory. Jean Keller expanded the property in 1892. Stadtwerke Augsburg bought the villa and grounds in 2002, then restored the roof, windows, heating system and sandstone façade over thirteen years. A water-damage repair and new sanitary facilities completed the renewal.
The ground floor now hosts conferences, workshops, product presentations, concerts, exhibitions, jazz sessions and wine tastings. The main hall combines a projector, large screen, six speakers and touchpads for connected devices. Restaurant August occupies the upper floor, serving seasonal cuisine by chef Christian Grünwald beneath illuminated glass-topped tables. A walk through the park reveals changing views of the sandstone architecture.
