Villa Beck, Neoclassical villa in Biebrich, Germany

The Villa Beck features a symmetrical two-story cube design with a three-story central projection adorned by a flat triangular pediment.

Clockmaker Hubertus Kreitz commissioned the villa in 1872, which was later purchased by industrialist Ludwig Beck, owner of the Rheinhütte ironworks in 1898.

Ludwig Beck completed his extensive five-volume work on the history of iron metallurgy while residing in this villa during the early 1900s.

The villa stands at Rheingaustraße 138 in the Biebrich district of Wiesbaden and remains a private residence not open to public visits.

The residence connects to resistance history through Ludwig Beck Jr., who participated in the July 20, 1944 plot against the Nazi regime.
