Villa Gans, Cultural heritage monument in Oberursel, Germany

The Villa Gans stands at Königsteiner Straße 29, featuring architecture in English style with multiple outbuildings including a greenhouse and riding arena.

Built between 1909 and 1910 for Ludwig Wilhelm Gans by architect Otto Bäppler, the villa was constructed on a site called Kastanienhain covered with chestnut trees.

From 1953 to 2004, the building functioned as the House of Union Youth, providing educational facilities and accommodation for young trade union members.

The villa underwent conversion into a hotel complex in 2016, incorporating elements of the original structure while adding modern accommodations across 12,190 square meters.

The surrounding 10-hectare park contains 55 protected trees, including rare species such as sequoias and hanging beeches, creating a natural sanctuary.
