The Villa Gericke is a private residential villa in Potsdam , in the Nauener Vorstadt , Puschkinallee 17.

history

The original building was built in 1864/65 as Villa Ende in Berlin-Tiergarten , Siegmunds Hof 22 for the architect Hermann Ende . It was carried out by the company Ende & Böckmann . However, due to the close construction of the local S-Bahn line, the villa was demolished again. According to Wolfgang Brönner , the property “must have been touched by the S-Bahn” as early as 1882. According to Irmgard Wirth , the demolition did not take place until 1893. In 1892/93, the architect Friedrich Gericke, a student of Ende & Böckmann, built an almost identical copy of the villa in Potsdam for his aunt "Ms. City Councilor E. Gericke".

Marked by heavy weathering, the building and park were restored and replanted between 2005 and 2008 by the lawyers Jörg and Barbara Zumbaum. In 2017, the Potsdam-based management consultant Knud Brandis acquired the ensemble and completed the renovation.
