Discover more about Liebermann-Villa am Wannsee
Step back in time at the Liebermann Villa, the former summer home of Max Liebermann, a leading figure in German Impressionism. Built in 1909, the villa provided Liebermann with a serene escape from the city, and its gardens became a central motif in his art.
Explore the villa's rooms, which house a collection of Liebermann's works, including paintings of the gardens and Lake Wannsee. The museum also features portraits of Liebermann by his contemporaries, offering a glimpse into the artistic circles of the time. Wander through the reconstructed gardens, designed in the early 20th-century "reform garden" style with straight paths, boxwood-lined beds, and vibrant flowerbeds.
The Liebermann Villa offers a unique opportunity to experience art in the place where it was created. After viewing the art, relax at the café on the garden terrace, enjoying the picturesque views of the Wannsee. The villa also recounts the story of the Liebermann family, their fate after the Nazi rise to power, and the villa's post-war history.
