Villa Köster
The Villa Köster is a listed residential building in Rencks Park at Parkstrasse 11 in downtown Neumünster .
The villa was built in 1902 for the textile merchant Friedrich Hanssen by the Hamburg architects Lundt & Kallmorgen on a hill in the park at the Schwale . Later, the founder and namesake of the leather factory Emil Köster bought the villa and lived in it with his family. The building is a two - storey neo - baroque plastered building under a hipped roof , the garden side of which is accentuated by a ground floor hall protruding ovally between risalits with tail gables, with coupled columns and a balcony. The rich wooden original interior is also important, especially in the largely preserved staircase hall.
The villa is under monument protection , as is the Kastanienallee , which serves as an access road. There are also numerous sculptures in the park , which are also entered in the list of monuments.
The building belonged to the city until the beginning of 2012 and was part of the Klaus Groth School in Neumünster until the 2007/08 school year . After that, the school no longer needed these premises because it had added additional buildings itself. The villa was sold in December 2011 and is used as a residential and office building after extensive renovation work.
