Oskar Kokoschka-Villa on Wilhelminenberg
1160 Wien; Located near: Liebhartstalstraße, Wilhelminenberg, Gallitzinstraße, Gallitzinberg, Starchantgasse
The best air in Vienna – a family refuge on Wilhelminenberg
Nestled in mature trees, with views in every direction and rooms that change with the light - this is Villa Kokoschka - designed by Johannes Spalt
Oskar Kokoschka bought the villa on the Gallitzinberg, built around 1900, around 100 years ago and owned by the family ever since.
Kokoschka's connection to Vienna began during his school years, which he spent at the Imperial and Royal State Secondary School in Währing and at the School of Applied Arts, now the University of Applied Arts.
Thanks to his earnings as a young, aspiring artist, he had enough money in the 1920s to purchase a villa for his family on the Wilhelminenberg.
He wanted to keep his family together there, where the air is the best in Vienna, as his father suffered from a lung disease. The Fondation Kokoschka's catalogue raisonné contains five works from the years 1925 to 1935 in which the artist captured the view of the Liebhartstal valley.
But you don't have to be a Kokoschka fan to fall in love with this magnificent villa at first sight.
While Oskar Kokoschka was still alive, in the late 1970s, the two upper floors of the villa underwent a radical transformation by the renowned architect Johannes Spalt.
The previously rather modest, simple turn-of-the-century villa with a narrow roof was converted into an architectural monument that stands in the best tradition of the Bauhaus style, with whose proponents Kokoschka had been deeply connected since its founding.
Spalt, a student of Clemens Holzmeister and later rector of the University of Applied Arts, added another floor to the villa and expanded it. The result is a work of art.
The completely self-contained garden apartment was extensively renovated just a few years ago and features a terrace and access to the garden. No expense was spared here either, including the kitchen, which is by Steininger.
