Ein Stück Berliner Baugeschichte – Elegante Jugendstilvilla In Der Villenkolonie Schlachtensee

The State Monument Office considers the single-family house in Zehlendorf to be artistically and historically significant for the villa colony in Zehlendorf-West at Schlachtensee.

Although designed as a country house, the villa is one of the few examples featuring the stylistic elements of Art Nouveau. Architect Ernst Weinen built this gem in 1905 for publishing director Max Pechstein. It is set slightly back from the street and impresses with its half-timbered gable front. The highlight of the house is the curved decorative gable porch in Art Nouveau style.

Inside the house, you will find further examples of the architecture of the time, as well as classic features such as original parquet floors, double casement windows, stucco ceilings, and glazed sliding doors with Art Nouveau ornaments like floral patterns and decorative curved lines. A property with substance and charm, offering space for contemporary redesign.

The plot itself is beautifully overgrown and primarily faces south.

The villa colony Zehlendorf, located between the charming Mexikoplatz and the picturesque Schlachtensee, is a sought-after residential area in Berlin. This neighborhood is characterized by its green surroundings, impressive villa architecture, and excellent quality of life.

The residential area is known for its spacious plots and magnificent villas, often surrounded by old trees and well-maintained gardens. This creates a quiet and exclusive living atmosphere. Additionally, the infrastructure is excellent: schools, kindergartens, shopping facilities, and medical services are easily accessible.

Another advantage is the cultural diversity in Zehlendorf. Numerous events and cultural institutions offer a rich program for all ages. The combination of nature, exclusivity, and excellent connectivity makes the villa colony Zehlendorf one of the most attractive residential areas in Berlin.
