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

The three-story residence at Cranachstraße 47 features substantial interiors designed by architect Henry van de Velde in classical elements.

Friedrich von Dürckheim-Montmartin commissioned the construction between 1912 and 1913 using funds from his wife Charlotte von Kusserow's estate.

From 1919 to 1928, the villa functioned as a meeting point where Bauhaus teachers and students gathered for shared meals and music performances.

The grand salon and surrounding park currently operate as exhibition spaces, presenting works from contemporary artists throughout the year.

The building changed functions multiple times, from aristocratic residence to Soviet command post and later as district administration for state security.
