Schoeler-Schlösschen, Country house in Wilmersdorf, Germany.
Schoeler-Schlösschen is a two-story country house in Wilmersdorf with light masonry walls and a bluish-gray stucco facade on the ground floor. The building displays baroque architectural features with its proportioned window rows and characteristic roof structure.
The country house was built in 1752 as a single-story farmhouse by preacher Samuel Gottlieb Fuhrmann and was transformed into a baroque mansion in 1766. Over time it served various purposes including silk moth cultivation and later as a youth center and kindergarten through the early 2000s.
The building takes its name from a family that shaped its character over generations. Today visitors can read the different periods of its use on the facade and in the preserved rooms, from its time as a residence to its role as a gathering place for the community.
The building is located at Wilhelmsaue 126 in Berlin's Wilmersdorf district and is visible from the street. Nearby you can find remnants of historical gardens that extend toward the former Wilmersdorf lake and can be explored during a visit.
During the ongoing restoration project, a third floor addition from 1935 is being removed to return the structure to its original baroque design. This reconstruction reveals the layers of its architectural history and allows visitors to understand how the building changed across the centuries.
