Villa Ilgen, Cultural heritage villa in Blasewitz district, Dresden, Germany

The villa features a neoclassical facade with Corinthian columns, a seven-axial main front, and a grand staircase leading to the garden.

Built between 1890 and 1891 by architect Martin Pietzsch, the villa was acquired in 1899 by pharmacist Hermann Ilgen, who made his fortune producing rat poison.

The gable fields display classical figures including Demeter, Mercury, and Saxonia, representing the artistic preferences of late 19th-century German architecture.

Located at Loschwitzer Straße 37, the villa currently houses the Hermann Ilgen Foundation and features a commemorative plaque honoring its former resident.

The entrance hall functions as an atrium with a skylight, connecting various rooms that combine neo-baroque and Art Nouveau interior design elements.
