Villa Dürckheim, Heritage monument and residential villa in Weimar, Germany.

Villa Dürckheim is a monumental three-storey aristocratic residence at Cranachstraße 47 in Weimar, built in 1912/13 to designs by Henry van de Velde for Count Friedrich von Dürckheim-Montmartin, with an elaborate interior. A southern extension was added in 1935 and a larger street-side addition to the west in 1938, which altered van de Velde's sequence of rooms. Since 2007 the renovated building has served mainly as housing and offices.

Henry van de Velde designed the Palais Dürckheim for Count Friedrich von Dürckheim-Montmartin, and it was completed in spring 1913, paid for with the inherited fortune of his wife Charlotte von Kusserow. The Aktiengesellschaft Thüringische Werke bought it in 1928 as an administrative building and added extensions in 1935 and 1938. In 1945 the Red Army seized it for its secret service and the Soviet commandant's office, and from 1968 to 1989 it housed the district administration of the Ministry for State Security.

Until 1928 the villa was an open salon where Weimar notables and artists met; the so-called "I-Kreis" (intelligence circle) gathered there, counting the court theatre's intendant and Kapellmeister, sculptors, painters and pianists among regular guests. Few members of the actual court circles attended.

The building at Cranachstraße 47 is now mainly a renovated residential and office house, and part of it is used by the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar. The restored representative rooms have been available since 2007 for social occasions and exhibitions, so access depends on the respective event. The 1930s extensions on the south and west sides are part of the complex.

The villa served as a Soviet command post and later housed state security administration offices in the post-war years. This surprising transformation reveals how a private aristocratic residence became entangled in political upheaval and Cold War operations.
