Weinberg House

The Weinberg House is a villa built in 1875 in Waren with historicist architectural style and prominent decorative details across its facade. Large windows and ornamental embellishments give the structure its distinctive appearance from the street.

Architect Gustav Werner designed and built the villa in 1875 for Hermann von Maltzan, initially housing a natural history museum collection. The property changed hands in 1877 when it became a railway administration center.

From 1911 to 1939, folklorist Richard Wossidlo used rooms here to preserve his extensive collection of folk traditions and manuscripts. The spaces reflect the scholarly work that once filled this place.

The villa sits on Bahnhofstraße near Waren's train station, making it easy to find and approach from the town center. The building can be appreciated from the street, and nearby attractions are within walking distance.

The building takes its name from botanist Johann Weinberg, whose legacy influenced the region's scholarly traditions for generations. This connection to natural science makes the property noteworthy in Waren's intellectual history.
