history

The originally single-storey villa in what was then Albrechtstrasse 17 (later 25) was built in 1874/75 for Auguste Julitz, née Schulz, wife of the Berlin court caterer Ernst Julitz. The Potsdam address books of the 1870s show the Potsdam architect of the same name, Ernst Julitz, who does not live in the house, as the owner. After Wolfgang Brönner , the architect was also the client and Ludwig Heck was the master carpenter. The Berlin court traiteur Ernst Julitz appears as the owner in the address book for 1882 under “Albrechtstrasse 25”. The family sold the property in 1890 to the Berlin merchant Heinrich Ludwig Eduard Fischer. According to the address book for 1894, it then went to the Berlin businessman Albert Schubert and according to the address book for 1900 to the Berlin bookseller Raimund Mitscher.

From 1903 Rittmeister was z. D. Hans von Decker owned and rented the villa from around 1907 to 1910 to the Chamberlain of Crown Prince Wilhelm , Captain Ferdinand Wolf von Stülpnagel (1873–1938). From 1912 at the latest, the property belonged to the von Decker's heirs. According to the entry in the address book, the villa was “locked” in 1917 and in 1919 it was still probably not inhabited. In the address book for 1922, the manor was owned by Count Rothkirch from Boberstein in Silesia (today Bobrów, part of the municipality of Mysłakowice ) and by 1925 at the latest, Francis Pfotenhauer, husband of Charlotte Sascha Pfotenhauer, née von Decker. She was the owner of the Silesian manor Dittersbach (Oberhof) in the municipality of Herzogswaldau , district of Lüben and in 1932 also the Potsdam villa.

In June 1933 Kammerherr und Hauptmann a. D. Ferdinand Wolf von Stülpnagel bought the property and had the house added a mezzanine floor by the architects Estorff and Winkler . The family lived there until 1945. Immediately after the Potsdam Conference in the nearby Cecilienhof Palace , the Soviet military administration in Germany (SMAD) seized the area between Pfingstberg and the New Garden in August 1945 . Like the widow Marta von Stülpnagel, born von Wietersheim (1885–1959), all residents of the district had to leave their homes. On the 16 hectare, hermetically sealed area, the German headquarters of the military counter-espionage of the Soviet secret service ( MGB ), from 1954 KGB , was set up, the "Military Town No. 7". The Villa Stülpnagel served as a command center . The street was renamed “Ulitsa Bibliotechnaja” (Library Street).

After the turnaround and the withdrawal of the secret service units and the Russian army in 1994, the Federal Property Office managed the property. A member of the Stülpnagel family bought the property back and had it renovated. Michiel Den Hond, then the Dutch envoy, was the first tenant to live in it from 1999 to 2002 after the work was completed .
