Kommandeurvilla, Cultural heritage villa in Flensburg, Germany.
The Kommandeurvilla is a 2-story residential building from 1910 in Flensburg with a symmetrical facade showing northern German building traditions. The house features bay windows, decorative ornaments, and Art Nouveau elements that display the craftsmanship of that period.
The villa was built in 1910 during Flensburg's phase of industrial growth, when the city expanded through shipbuilding and trade. It was constructed when wealthy merchants and officials commissioned impressive homes in this expanding harbor city.
The building shows how affluent families in Flensburg lived and arranged their homes in the early 1900s. The rooms and details reveal the daily life and social status of that era.
The house can be visited on Heritage Day, held annually on the second Sunday of September when many historical buildings open to the public. At other times, the exterior and architecture can be viewed anytime from the street.
The building retained its original architectural details from 1910, including fine handcrafted plasterwork, ornaments, and artistic windows. This preservation allows visitors to see directly the high building quality and refined aesthetic standards the wealthy patrons demanded.
