Villa Gans, Cultural heritage villa in Königstein im Taunus, Germany
The Villa Gans stands at the beginning of Hainerberg, featuring a large terraced park with geometrically trimmed bushes across five levels extending into nature.
Adolf Gans, owner of Cassella chemical works, commissioned the construction of this residence between 1910 and 1912, with architect Bruno Paul designing the building.
The interior walls display large paintings by Swiss artist Karl Walser, creating visual connections between indoor spaces and the surrounding natural environment.
The villa currently serves as the administrative headquarters of Deutsche Rentenversicherung Hessen, following several transformations throughout its existence.
During post-World War II occupation, the villa functioned as a Victory Guest House, hosting General Eisenhower and visitors including Rockefeller and Bette Davis.
