Show sight on map

The Villa Patumbah at Zollikerstrasse 128 in Zurich was built between 1883 and 1885 by the architects Chiodera and Tschudy for Karl Fürchtegott Grob. The extraordinarily wealthy builder had acquired his wealth with a tobacco plantation on Sumatra. Today, the villa is one of the most important witnesses of historicism in Zurich and is a listed building. Patumbak is the name of the village that was located at the first plantation of Grob and also gave it its name. In various writings in Zurich, it is written that the name means longed-for land in Malay. However, Patumbak is simply a field name.
