Mantz, Werner: House of Professor Georgii, Lindenthal

House of Professor Georgii, Heinestraße 2, Lindenthal, architect H. Walter Reitz. 1928/printed 1932. Gelatin silver print on Agfa paper. 24 x 18 cm. Signed, dated and annotated by the photographer in ballpoint pen in lower margin; annotated in pencil on the verso. - - The group of detached houses in Heinestraße, Cologne is probably the earliest example of Neues Bauen in that city. The builder of Heinestraße 2 was the pianist and university professor Walter Georgii. The large-scale form and details clearly show an orientation towards Le Corbusier: the free façade structure with window bands, the inclusion of the roof garden in the rectangular outline of the house, the semi-circular avant-corps with a lookout at the apex, concrete planter boxes, a chimney running through to the attic and curved interior walls and a wide concrete band as a closure above the terrace. The August 1929 issue of Die Welt compared the house to buildings of Le Corbusier and Gropius. – Slight discoloration in lower margin, otherwise a fine tonal print in very good condition. - - Lit.: Reinhold Mißelbeck/Wolfram Hagspiel.
