Haus Rothenberge, Protected villa in Wettringen, Germany

Haus Rothenberge is a rendered villa on the crest of the Rothenberg in Wettringen, built 1920–1921 to plans by Alfred Hensen as a maison de plaisance. It has a mansard roof, grooved corner pilasters and a semicircular balcony projection; a thatched tea house stands on the grounds.

Haus Rothenberge was built from 1920 to 1921 to plans by architect Alfred Hensen for the banker Jan Jordaan (1873–1935) and his wife Engelbertha van Heek (1876–1960). The design follows an 18th-century maison de plaisance. The villa later passed to the University of Münster, which uses it as a Landheim and for academic conferences.

The villa is run by the University of Münster as a Landheim for scientific conferences and seminars. During their studies, figures such as Thomas de Maizière, Robert Spaemann and Georg Milbradt took part in sessions here. The house is also known as Villa Jordaan - van Heek, after the couple who commissioned it.

The villa stands on the Rothenberg hilltop in the Rothenberge district of Wettringen, in the Steinfurt district. It is used by the University of Münster as a Landheim and for academic conferences and seminars, so the grounds and rooms are not open to casual visitors.

The villa's mansard roof is a nod to the 18th-century maison de plaisance it imitates, not a French chateau of the 1900s. Look for the round balcony projection and the grooved corner pilasters, and note the separate thatched-roof tea house on the grounds.
