Haus Lindenberg, Protected villa in Kreuzberg, Berlin, Germany

Haus Lindenberg is a richly ornamented villa at Methfesselstraße 23/25, designed by the architect E. Becher and completed in 1874. It rises two storeys toward Methfesselstraße and four toward the garden, and originally carried the address Wilhelmshöhe 11. A remnant of its garden with an outdoor staircase and old trees survives.

The villa was built in 1874 as a residence for businessman Ernst Lindenberg. It remains the sole surviving original building from the former Wilhelmshöhe villa colony that once stood on this eastern slope of Kreuzberg.

The building housed the Literaturhaus Lettrétage, founded in 2006, until 2013; it organised readings, small theatre performances and art exhibitions at changing venues. The 23|5 Filmproduktion of director and producer Hans-Christian Schmid was also based here. The villa is currently vacant, with renovation and sale planned.

The property sits on a private street between Mehringdamm and Viktoriapark with easy access to public transport. The surrounding area offers many restaurants and cafes nearby for visitors.

The garden retains a Freitreppe and old trees from the Wilhelmshöhe colony, whose private street was locked by a gate and open only to authorised persons. The site had earlier been used by the military and held a sand pit supplying Berliners with white sand.
