Villa Halstenbach, Timber-framed villa in Wuppertal, Germany

Villa Halstenbach features a slate-covered timber frame construction with a gable roof and a meticulously designed facade at the street-facing entrance.

Peter Mittelsten Scheid built the villa between 1806 and 1807, and Willy Halstenbach acquired it in 1922, making it his family residence.

During the National Socialist period, the villa served as a meeting place for members of the Confessing Church, including theologians Karl Barth and Martin Niemöller.

The villa transformed into individual apartments and flats in 1980, with a retirement home constructed in the rear section of the park.

On August 17, 1945, the villa's gentlemen's room hosted a meeting that laid the foundation for the Christian Democratic Union of Germany political party.
