Bleichröder residence
The Bleichröder residence is a listed villa in the style of spa architecture at Delbrückstraße 14 in Heringsdorf on Usedom and is one of the most representative buildings on the Heringsdorf promenade. The Bleichröder residence is a holiday apartment complex with a hotel. A park with old beech trees and a rose garden with a historical fountain are located on the approximately 9,000 square meter property. The art forged fence on Delbrückstrasse with the two-winged entrance gate has been preserved in its original form. In the course of the last renovation and redesign of the facility according to the plans of the architectural office Leckband / Jürgensen from Flensburg, two villa-like new buildings and an underground car park were built on the property in 2000.
history
In 1908 the neo-baroque villa and the coach house were built as the summer residence of the Bleichröder Jewish banking family. The year 1890 found in the literature is incorrect. Also, it was not Gerson von Bleichröder , but his son Hans von Bleichröder who was the client. The two-storey plastered building with an attic , mansard roof and dormers is located in the middle of the park on a hill. The Remise (also called Mews) is built in the neo-baroque style and presents an elaborate plaster structure. It served as a garage for carriages and the first automobiles of the Bleichröder family, and the servants lived on the upper floor . The sculpture Archspanner by the sculptor Ferdinand Lepke (1866–1909), which was reinterpreted here as the hunting goddess “ Diana ”, has stood at the foot of the villa since 1910 . She gave the house the name Villa Diana at times . The anti-Semitism of the Nazi regime meant that the Jewish owners of the residence were ousted and the building was used as a maternity home for the National Socialist People's Welfare (NSV).
After the end of the Second World War , members of the Soviet Army recovered here in the sanatorium until 1950/51 . After that, the Free German Trade Union Federation (FDGB) ran the house as the "Richard Schmidt" guest house of the federal board. Trade union officials who were friends were invited. Harry Tisch , the last chairman of the FDGB, was often a guest in the villa. After the fall of the Wall in 1990, the Treuhand took over the property and the buildings, handing them over to Mr. von Reicherstorfer, who ran it together with his wife as "Hotel Diana".
In 1995 Sieveking und Co. KG took over the property and redesigned it in its current state. This includes the renovation of the historic buildings, the new construction of Villa Rosengarten and Villa Rondell, as well as the construction of the underground car park and a playground.
