The building has been a listed building in Bremen since 1979 .

history

The two-storey villa with 14 rooms and a living space of approx. 250 m² with a three-storey octagonal turret, a bay window on the side front and a rounded, Art Nouveau- style pompous gable facing Kurfürstenstrasse dates from the turn of the century. The building is characterized by a differentiated mix of styles. An old majolica fireplace from around 1860 was installed in the neo-baroque salon.

The villa was built in an area which at the end of the 19th century still belonged to the Lehe area as garden land and was developed by the brewery owner Lüder Rutenberg . In 1883 a development plan was drawn up for his property. Around 1900 only the Rutenbergstraße named after him was laid out and the eastern half was built on. The later Kurfürstenstrasse was initially called Malzstrasse, matching the Hopfenstrasse, which is still called today, so that the original address of Villa Rabien was Malzstrasse 10.

The builder was Obersteward August Rabien from Norddeutscher Lloyd , who took over this private castle and had to sell it to Armin Ketelsen, who owned a large men's clothing store on Hafenstrasse in Wesermünde-Lehe.

In 2010, the owner Marika Büsing was awarded the Bremen Monument Preservation Prize in recognition of the building owners' category for the renovation of the villa in accordance with the requirements of the monument.

The building was used until 2019 under the name Mehrgenerationenhaus Bremerhaven as a service hub and day meeting point in the seaside city.
