Gorzów - Villa Hermann Paucksch

Johann Gottlieb Hermann Paucksch (1816-1899), was a successful industrialist from Landsberg, owned here the huge 'Maschinenbauanstalt und Dampfkesselfabrik H. Paucksch AG' and donated to the town the famous 'Paucksch Fountain' in 1897. The fountain was destroyed during the WW2, but re-erected in 1997. By this fountain Hermann Paucksch is still well known in Gorzów.

His Villa at the Warta is a three-storey building which Paucksch built in eclectic style in the late nineteenth century. After 1945 it became the headquarters of the Soviet army. I discovered this building quite soon, after I arrived here in Gorzów and like the little remainings of the former bigger park. Unfortunately it is not possible to go inside.
