Pfaff-Villa

The Pfaff-Villa is a neogothic mansion in Solln featuring a mansard roof, symmetrical window placement, and a balustraded terrace on its south side. A spacious garden surrounds the structure and emphasizes its grand residential character within the neighborhood.

Built in 1923, the house was designed by architects Leonhard and Otto Heydecker for oil merchant Alfred Pfaff. After decades as a private residence, public authorities used the building for official purposes until 1985, when it returned to residential use.

Inside, the rooms feature high ceilings and ornately designed fireplaces that reflect the wealth of its original owners. These details shape the house's character and offer insight into how affluent Munich residents lived in the 1920s.

The villa stands in western Solln at Allersherstrasse 14, right at the intersection with Buchhierlstrasse. The area is well served by public transportation and the garden provides a good view of the entire property.

A mezzanine level tucked under the roof features circular windows that add an unusual detail rarely noticed from outside. The grand staircase on the northern side of the building demonstrates the original importance of the main entrance.
