Feuerschlößchen

The Feuerschlößchen stands on Kirchbeuel hill with 500 square meters of living space and features architectural details from the early 1900s construction period.

Wilhelm Girardet, a newspaper publisher from Essen, acquired the property in 1903 and launched an architectural competition that attracted 900 participants.

The villa transformed through various functions, from a private residence to a Nazi training facility and later became an engineering school.

Located at coordinates 50.6506, 7.22585, the villa underwent extensive restoration work in the 1980s to recover its original architectural features.

The construction project included 6,000 marks as prize money for the winning design, which was awarded to architect Wilhelm Freiherr von Tettau.
