history
The previous building was built in 1905. The garden was created in 1909 according to plans by the garden architect Friedrich Gildemeister. Only a few parts have survived.
The one and two-storey country house on the Wümme was built in 1939 for the merchant and former Sparkasse director Friedrich Wilhelm Kellner, designed in the conservative style by the cathedral master builder and architect Schumacher . In terms of design, it is one of the "best representatives of the traditionalist country house building of the 1930s in Bremen" (LfD). It consists of the main house and the Hofmeierhaus.
From 1950 to 1994 the Wümmehof was the permanent main residence of the head of the House of Hohenzollern , Prince Louis Ferdinand of Prussia, on the approximately 10,000 m² area . The State Office for Monument Preservation Bremen found: “Prince Louis Ferdinand of Prussia ... last pretender to the throne ... always embodied the hope of conservative circles in the Federal Republic of the reintroduction of a (constitutional) monarchy. He was undoubtedly a figure of considerable importance in contemporary German history. "
In 2013 Christian Sigismund's family moved out of Prussia and the family sold the property to an investor in 2013/14. The property was built on in 2015/16 by three more residential buildings.
In the immediate vicinity (Katrepeler Landstrasse 51) is the well-known Villa Wikingborg .
