Haus Hüsgen, Cultural heritage residential building in Traben-Trarbach, Germany.
Haus Hüsgen is a four-story residential building constructed with fieldstone walls and features a tower element with a curved dome facing the garden side. The property encompasses 7000 square meters of gardens and includes a glass pavilion.
The building was constructed in 1904 by Berlin architect Bruno Möhring for wine merchant Adolph Hüsgen, whose regional influence earned him the nickname 'Moselbismarck'. Its creation coincided with a period of economic prosperity in the Mosel wine trade.
The building displays Art Nouveau features with tall rooms and a spacious entry hall featuring detailed interior designs that reflect the wealth and taste of the Belle Époque period in this wine region.
The property is visible from outside and can be viewed from the Mosel riverbank or the surrounding public gardens. The glass pavilion sometimes hosts wine tastings, which is worth checking beforehand.
Original side staircases from the terrace led directly to the Mosel riverbank, where a rowing boat waited for the owner's transportation. This private river connection reveals how closely the wealthy family was tied to the river and the wine trade.
