Villa Haux

Villa Haux is an Art nouveau villa built in 1908 by archtects Richard Böklen and Carl Feil in the southern German town of Ebingen.

It was built for Kommerzienrat Friedrich Haux (1860-1929), entrepreneur in the local textile industry, between his factory and a railway line crossing the town on a bridge.

His previous house, built in 1885 on the same place and just decorated neo-baroque in 1898, was relocated across a street.

The new villa was equipped with most modern installations, such as elevator, central heating and central vacuum cleaner.

The Haux family lived in the house until 1958. Afterwards, it was rented to various users. From 1978 it was empty.

1994 a new owner started renovating it. Today the Klaiber-Schlegel tax advisor society owns and uses it. Some rooms are available for cultural events.
