Villa Wachholtz
The Villa Wachholtz is a 1903 by the Kiel architect Hans Schnitger in Art Nouveau style built villa in Neumünster in Schleswig-Holstein .
It is located in a three hectare landscape and sculpture garden in the Brachenfeld district . The 700 m² villa was built in 1903 on behalf of the colored paper manufacturer Paul Ströhmer. The couple, Else and Karl Wachholtz, Ströhmer's nephew, had the villa converted from 1924 by the Neumünster architect Friedrich Willem Hain . The conversions and additions included a wood-clad glass veranda and a glazed roof on the north side of the house.
After the Second World War, the villa was used by British occupation soldiers, after which it was used as a home for young repatriates from 1957 to 1963 . From 1963 to 1975 the Evangelical Working Group for Soldiers Care was housed here and in the following years the building was used as a diaconal counseling center in Mittelholstein. In 2004 ownership was transferred from the city of Neumünster to the Herbert Gerisch Foundation . The villa was extensively restored in 2006 and 2007 and is now a listed building .
Temporary exhibitions of contemporary painting, graphics, photography, sculpture and video art of the Herbert Gerisch Foundation take place in the rooms.
