The Villa Fritz Heroldt is a historical house in downtown Bydgoszcz.
Location
The building stands on western side of Gdańska Street at N°119, between Chocimski street and Artyleryjski street.
History
The building was built between 1895 and 1896 for Emilie and Fritz Heroldt, a couple of rentiers.[2] At the time, the address was "Danzigerstrasse 67, Bromberg". They lived there until 1899. Fritz Heroldt had also a tenement built in 1896 in Dworcowa Street N°71 by Fritz Weidner.
At the beginning of the 20th century Antoni Chołoniewski (1872-1924) lived in the villa. He was a journalist and Polish national activist who wrote the Spirit of Polish History (Polish: Duch dziejów Polski). As a remembrance, a plaque has been placed on the facade.
Later a school for girls has been established there.
Today the building houses a language school.
Architecture[3]
This was the first realization of Berliner architect Fritz Weidner when he came to Bydgoszcz.
The elevation is decorated with characteristic Neo-Baroque ornaments:[4]
- puttoes figures,
- volutes,
- caryatids.
The building has been put on the Pomeranian heritage list (N°601324 - Reg. A/1097/1-2) on the 15th April 1994.[1]
