history

The villa was built for the Charlottenburg textile merchant Eugen Goldstein according to a design by the Jewish Berlin architect Curt Leschnitzer. It was owned by the Goldstein family, a Jewish merchant, until 1938; in 1938 it was forcibly transferred to Deutsche Eisenhandels-AG .

After the Second World War , the building was available to other users for a few years. At the end of the 1950s, the villa came into the possession of the sports club Hertha BSC , which sold it again in 1998. In 2007 the Namibian Foreign Ministry acquired the villa. The building was converted to house the embassy and officially opened in 2008.
