Villa Seligmann, Jewish cultural center in Mitte, Hannover, Germany

The two-story sandstone building features neo-baroque elements, high mansard roof, and ornamental fountain with five columns at its semicircular driveway.

Hermann Schaedtler designed this residence in 1906 for Continental AG director Siegmund Seligmann, which later hosted Belgian Crown Prince Albert during Imperial maneuvers.

The European Center for Jewish Music presents concerts, exhibitions, and educational programs focusing on Jewish musical traditions and cultural exchange.

Located at Hohenzollernstrasse 39, the villa maintains a media library and offers guided tours through its restored rooms and garden designed by Julius Trip.

The building survived World War II bombings intact and transformed from Wehrmacht offices into the current center for preserving Jewish musical heritage.
