An Extraordinary Villa

VILLA WITH A STORY.

Where history feels at home.

Dahlem, 1928. Two architects, Breslauer and Salinger, designed a villa beside Thielpark and created something that remains unforgettable nearly a century later. This property is among the most significant villas in historic Dahlem — a listed landmark of rare authenticity, immortalized in the book A Noble Address – Prominent Figures in Berlin-Dahlem and Their Stories as part of the history of this unique villa colony.

Hildegard Knef lived here. Within these rooms she welcomed Marlene Dietrich, worked with Wolfgang Staudte on screenplays, and called this house her home. This Villa is more than architecture. It is a life story made tangible.

The classically proportioned façade with its high mansard roof, the sweeping staircase with polished wooden balustrade, the arched openings connecting the reception rooms, the handcrafted wrought-iron entrance portal and the solid timber front door — all speak of a level of craftsmanship that cannot be recreated.

Original features, including the historic integrated elevator, remain intact. This is not a house restored for effect. It is a house whose substance has simply endured.

A place that was not merely built — but has grown through time.
For those who understand that true distinction needs no explanation.

The elevated ground floor welcomes residents and guests with an elegant entrance hall, an open marble fireplace and two glazed winter gardens that seamlessly connect indoor and outdoor living. Generous ceiling heights, handcrafted parquet flooring with inlaid details and refined stucco moldings create an atmosphere of grace and warmth rarely found today.

The first floor offers private retreats of exceptional elegance: a library with balcony, two bedrooms with dressing rooms and en-suite bathrooms, as well as a guest suite.

The attic functions as a fully self-contained apartment with its own entrance — a quality that offers independence without creating distance.

The south-facing garden, framed by mature trees, is more than a garden. It is a world of its own.
