Villa Kleine

Villa Kleine Lippstadt: a house with two faces in the Poststrasse area

Opulence and representation - the status symbol of a brewery owner
At the end of the 19th century, Lippstadt brewery owner Wilhelm Kleine jun. had a magnificent villa built for himself. The Villa Kleine, designed by well-known architects such as Friedrich Ostendorf, was not only intended to be used as accommodation. He also wanted to use it as a symbol of his wealth and importance in the town.

Two sides of the same coin in a private villa
The façade of Villa Kleine is a prime example of opulent architecture. The rustic corner tower and ornate majolica tiles testify to a pronounced sense of aesthetics and representation. In contrast, the rear of the house is much more modest in its décor. This contrast underlines Kleine's desire to demonstrate wealth and power to the outside world.
