Villa Wilhelm Wertheim
In the Villa Wertheim is a summer house in the country style of the co-owner of the department store group Wilhelm Wertheim (1858-1934) in Berlin-Grunewald , let street 4. It was from 1897 to 1898 by the Berlin architect Messel Alfred and Martin Altgelt designed and of the Wolgaster Actien-Gesellschaft für Holzverarbeitung . In relation to the originally very large property, which took up the entire street block, the house itself looked rather modest. This effect is also due to the fact that the upper floor is integrated into the large hipped roof as a mansard floor with wood-shingled gable surfaces .
In 1920 the facility was supplemented by a gatehouse (Lassenstrasse 2). For the new house owner Hermann Fischer, the villa was significantly expanded in 1925–1926 according to plans by the architect Willi Lorch with representative lounges. At around the same time, the first parts of the extensive garden plot were parceled out, sold and further residential buildings were built on. This process continued into the 1970s, today the villa is almost completely surrounded by younger residential buildings. The gatekeeper's house was also sold later, after renovations and extensions it is hardly recognizable. In the 50s and 60s, the composer Gerhard Winkler (“Capri Fischer” and others) lived in the villa with his family. His mother-in-law Charlotte Neeße lived in the gatehouse until her death.
The villa itself has been preserved with further changes and is a listed building .
