Villa Langhammer
Villa Langhammer stands in Saarbrücken as a neobaroque villa with a long rectangular plan and single storey. An expressive entrance rises beneath a mansard hipped roof. The street façade centres on a three-axis risalit, a triangular gable, and a cross-oval window above its balcony.
Built in 1924 and 1925, the residence was commissioned by steel construction manufacturer Bernhard Seibert and designed by Hans Weszkalnys. Eight mullioned windows line the ground floor. Triangular pediments crown the mansard-floor windows, while a strongly profiled cornice projects above them. White and red speckled sandstone frames the windows, shapes their sills, and forms the cornice and balcony.
Square corner columns, two round columns with Ionic capitals, and pilasters support the balcony. At the rear, a semicircular bay window replaces it. Both gable ends contain further semicircular bay windows, reached through dormers. Behind the building, a baroque pleasure garden climbs the slope, adding a theatrical setting to the stone façade.
