Building history

The villa in the then Neue Königstrasse 30a (later 49, 104) was built around 1824 for the commander of the Leib-Garde-Hussar Regiment , Lieutenant Colonel (from 1826 Colonel) and adjutant Carl von Malachowski (1783-1844). The architect is unknown. The leading position of Malachowski and the structure of the facade suggest a design influenced by Karl Friedrich Schinkel and realized by the architect in the military economics department of the War Ministry, Carl Hampel († around 1842). The original building was single-storey with a basement and a gable roof . It had two flat corner projections, framed by pilasters , on the doors and windows with bezels . In the rear courtyard, two sheds were built on square ground plans and steep pitched roofs.

The property changed hands several times. In 1894 a central risalit was built. In 1910 the chamberlain, Ewald Freiherr von Kleist (1868–1938), acquired the villa and had it redesigned by the architect Otto Rehnig . The central projection was extended with a polygonal stand bay , the gable roof was expanded to form a mansard hipped roof with gables on both sides and a stair tower was added to the rear of the house. In 1924 the manor owner Otto Wrede ( Dr. jur. ) Bought the property. In 1947 it became the property of the Garantie und Kreditbank and in 1951 the City of Potsdam, which transferred it to the Deutsche Investitionsbank, Brandenburg branch, whose legal successor from 1968 was the State Bank of the GDR . From 1990 to 1997 the Deutsche Bundesbank used the building as a Potsdam branch and after renovation and renovation work between 1998 and 2000 it served the bank as a seminar building. The property belonging to the state of Brandenburg has been the seat of the Potsdam Institute for Advanced Sustainability Studies (IASS) since 2009 .
