Haus K. in O.

The three-story villa features a flat roof design, ceramic tile facades, and a concealed entrance area constructed with reinforced concrete techniques.

Architect Martin Elsaesser designed this residence in the early 1930s for cigarette manufacturer Philipp Fürchtegott Reemtsma on a 1,700 square meter property.

The ground floor contains formal areas including a dining room with gilded ceiling, while private spaces occupy the upper level of this architectural structure.

The property includes staff quarters, garages, stables, and a gatehouse, with recent additions of underground parking and multiple residential units after 2001.

British occupation forces commandeered the villa from 1945 to 1952, using the property as an officers' mess during their post-war administration.
