The Villa Jako is a residential building in Hamburg - Blankenese , Wilmans Park 17.

The wealthy ship insurer Hermann Witte had the house built in 1922 by the Hamburg architect Walther Baedeker ; it originally had only one floor. In 1926, the Alfred student lawyer acquired the property and left the house in 1927 by Baedeker by one storey to increase .

In 1991 the fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld bought the house, which he called Villa Jako in memory of his deceased partner Jacques de Bascher . He had it redesigned by the Hamburg art restorer Renate Kant. Lagerfeld lived here until 1998. He sold the property to the Hamburg music producer Michael Haentjes. In 2020 it was for sale.

The garden is 12,000 m² and offers a view of the Elbe .
