history
Around 1890, the mayor of Klein Ottersleben and manorial estate owner and owner of a large sugar factory in Groß Ottersleben, Wilhelm August Böckelmann, commissioned the architect and master bricklayer Max Behrendt to build a stately villa on his property in Klein Ottersleben. The property had already been converted into an English landscape garden in 1874 . After the old house there was demolished, the construction of the new villa was completed in 1892. The Böckelmann family owned the villa until it was expropriated in 1945. After that, the building was used as a children's home, party school and youth hostel. After extensive renovation in the years 1999 to 2000 and the construction of a new bed block, the villa became a multi-generation house as well as an education and conference center. Since 2019, the building has also served as the headquarters of the European Youth Education Center in Magdeburg and houses other international projects such as an information point for the Franco-German Youth Office .
