Villa Tübke, Art villa in Gohlis district, Leipzig, Germany.
Villa Tübke is a two-story residential building in the Gohlis district with distinctive Art Nouveau features. The structure combines private living areas with studio spaces and gallery rooms for art exhibitions.
The building was constructed in 1905 and 1906, representing the architecture of that period. The artist Tübke moved in during 1977 and made it his residence and workplace until 2004.
The house carries the name of Werner Tübke, who lived and worked here for nearly three decades. The rooms reflect the close connection between living space and artistic practice that defined this painter's life.
The ground-floor gallery shows rotating exhibitions alongside permanent artworks on display. The former studio functions as an additional exhibition space and provides a complete view of the building's interior.
The attic studio was added in a 1988–89 conversion ordered by the GDR Ministry of Culture, which rebuilt the villa as a home and studio with museum character and met the painter's need for security. Tübke worked in this raised room until his death in 2004. Since 25 May 2024 the non-profit Tübke Atelier association has reopened it as a free museum.
