Villa Fritz Thyssen, Architectural monument in Mülheim an der Ruhr, Germany.

The Villa Fritz Thyssen exhibits English manor house architecture with neo-baroque features, standing on a 70,000 square meter property with gardens and viewpoints.

Built in 1910 for industrialist Fritz Thyssen, the villa was seized by the Nazi regime in 1939 when its owner fled Germany, later serving as a British boarding school.

The residence represents the industrial heritage of North Rhine-Westphalia through its connection to the Thyssen family, who shaped the German steel industry.

Following extensive restoration work after a fire in 1993, the villa now functions as part of Villenpark Uhlenhorst, containing multiple residential units.

The property combines original architectural elements with modern residential spaces while maintaining the external appearance of an early 20th-century manor house.
