The Schwartz Villa

This exhibition traces the 125-year history of the Schwartzsche Villa, from its origins as a grand upper-class summer residence to its current role as a vibrant cultural center. Visitors can explore the lives of the Schwartz banking family, who commissioned the house between 1895 and 1897, through original photographs and architectural drawings. The display also chronicles the building's turbulent fate after 1945 and the long journey toward its public use. Set in one of Steglitz's most beautiful historical buildings, the exhibition offers deep insights into local heritage. It is a perfect visit for those interested in Berlin's architectural and social history.
