Guided Story

Imagine yourself as a wealthy banker in early 1900s Berlin, seeking a peaceful retreat by the tranquil Lake Templiner. That's exactly what Carl Hagen did when he commissioned this villa. Look to your left, and you'll see the harmonious facade with its grand columns—a true piece of neoclassical architecture. Behind you, through the trees, the lake shimmers and hints at the tranquility Hagen once sought. Just a bit further, across the water, is the Hermannswerder Church, offering a glimpse into an almost fairytale-like idyll. The villa wasn't just a home; it was a place for social gatherings and lavish parties. Close your eyes, and you might just hear the echoes of music and laughter from days gone by.
