history

The villa was designed in 1804 by the Danish architect Joseph Christian Lillie as a summer house for the Senator Hermann haarmann . A park was created around the building. In 1898 it was acquired by the ophthalmologist Max Linde , who built up an important art collection there with works by Edvard Munch , Auguste Rodin and Édouard Manet . Munch and Linde were friends. Between 1902 and 1907 Munch stayed several times in Lübeck and painted, among other things, the group picture The four sons of Dr. Linden tree , which hangs in the Behnhaus today , and a picture of the villa with the sculpture The Thinker , which then stood in the villa's garden.

Because of this relationship with Lübeck, the adjacent side street is also named after Munch. Linde lost his fortune and collection, which was scattered around the world, in the inflation of 1923 , but lived on the first floor of the villa until his death in 1940.

The dormer window on the front of the building and the first floor on the garden side of the house were demolished undocumented around 1960 due to their disrepair.

In 1964, the Dr. Max Linde gave the villa to the city of Lübeck. In 1967 the Trave municipal real estate company took over the building, renovated and expanded it. In 1968 the registry office moved in. In 2015 there were plans to move the registry office out and sell the building. The city's lease with the property company Trave ran until December 31, 2017. At the end of May 2017, it was announced that the city had acquired the building in exchange for a building plot and that the villa would be retained as a registry office.
