Furtwänglerstraße 19, Heritage-protected single-family house in Grunewald, Berlin, Germany
Furtwänglerstraße 19 is a single-family house whose expressionist brick cube, with a round bay window and carved wooden pillars in the entrance porch, was designed by Fritz Taphorn in 1934–1935 and executed by Walter and Johannes Krüger, who set it in a country-house style under a steep gabled roof.
The house was designed by architect Fritz Taphorn in 1934 and constructed by brothers Walter and Johannes Krüger in 1935. It received heritage monument status in 1993, recognizing its architectural importance.
The house served as a shooting location for several German films and continues to draw the interest of cinema enthusiasts today. This connection to film history makes the place special for visitors interested in German cinema.
Furtwänglerstraße 19 stands in the Grunewald villa district of Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf, a detached house on a residential plot, so it is seen from the public street rather than entered. The brick cube, its round bay window and the carved wooden pillars of the entrance porch face the road. Visitors reach the street by S-Bahn to Grunewald station and continue on foot.
Film director Ulrich Schamoni purchased the property in 1967 using profits from his film productions and later used it as a shooting location. This link between artist and building shows how creative professionals shaped their working spaces.
