Haus Hartenfels, Heritage villa in Duisburg-Mitte, Germany
Located on the northern peak of Backelsberg, Haus Hartenfels stands as a mansion-style residence within the Duisburg city forest at 82.53 meters above sea level.
Steel industrialist Peter Klöckner commissioned architect Hermann Wolters to construct this late historicism residence between 1910 and 1911 on land purchased from Duisburg city.
The building incorporates architectural elements from Gothic and Renaissance periods, featuring an asymmetrical structure with high roofs, gables, and bay windows.
The villa underwent extensive renovation between 2014 and 2019, transforming the historical structure into multiple residential units while preserving its protected status.
During World War II, the tower served as an anti-aircraft observation post, and the property housed the 4th Flak Division command post under the codename Drossel.
