The Schwartz Villa

Explore the history of the Schwartzsche Villa, a building that transitioned from an upper-class summer residence to a vibrant local cultural center. Through photographs, architectural drawings, and reproductions of original documents, the exhibition introduces the Schwartz banking family who commissioned the house between 1895 and 1897. The display also traces the eventful history of the building after 1945 and the long journey toward its current use as a venue for the arts. Visitors can gain insight into the architectural heritage and social history of the Steglitz district. This exhibition is a must-see for those interested in Berlin's historic villas and local heritage.
