Borsig-Villa Reiherwerder, Baroque revival villa in Reinickendorf, Germany

The Borsig Villa stands on Reiherwerder Peninsula by Lake Tegel, featuring grand architecture and ornate details across its multiple floors.

Built between 1911 and 1913 by architects Alfred Salinger and Eugen Schmohl, the villa served as residence for the industrial Borsig family until 1937.

The villa now functions as a guest house for the German Foreign Office Academy, where diplomatic service members receive their training.

Located on a 12.37-hectare peninsula, the villa includes a neo-baroque garden facing the water and numerous reception rooms for official functions.

After World War II, the property became part of the French sector, transforming into the residence of the French troops' supreme commander.
