Haus Ende, Architectural heritage monument in Ende, Germany.

Haus Ende is an industrialist's villa in the Ostende district of Herdecke, built around 1911 by Bachmann and Pinno for Kommerzienrat Robert Müser in the style of a Baroque manor house. Visitors entered through a vestibule into a hall dominated by a nearly five-metre chimney, with smaller rooms and the library adjoining it; behind lay the owner's apartment and several guest rooms.

Built around 1911 by Bachmann and Pinno for Kommerzienrat Robert Müser as a Baroque-style industrialist's villa, Haus Ende was bought in 1919 by Albert Vögler, general director of the Vereinigten Stahlwerke, who added a large bunker at the start of the war. Seized by the American military administration after 1945, it was handed to Herdecke on condition it serve social purposes, becoming a children's home, a nurses' training home, and later a Zivildienst school.

The house is also known as Villa Vögler, after Albert Vögler, who bought it in 1919 and was soon general director of the Vereinigten Stahlwerke. Its baroque-style rooms, restored and still surrounded by an old park, now serve as the Bundesamt für Familie und zivilgesellschaftliche Aufgaben's Bildungszentrum Herdecke, where volunteers for the Bundesfreiwilligendienst are taught.

Haus Ende stands at Ostendener Weg in Herdecke-Ostende, surrounded by an old park that has grown over the years; the bunker complex added under Albert Vögler is locked. The building now houses the Bildungszentrum Herdecke of the Bundesamt für Familie und zivilgesellschaftliche Aufgaben, where Bundesfreiwilligendienst volunteers are taught, so the interior is not open to casual visitors.

Albert Vögler, who bought the house in 1919, feared capture as war ended and had a large bunker built and security measures installed around the villa; the bunker still exists but is locked. He took his own life in 1945 rather than face the victorious powers.
