Villa Josef Thyssen, Neobaroque mansion in Mülheim an der Ruhr, Germany.
The Villa Josef Thyssen features a symmetrical facade with a central rounded portal, topped by a balcony and decorated with ornamental elements throughout its exterior.
Constructed between 1898 and 1900 by architects Heinrich Kayser and Karl von Großheim for Joseph Thyssen, brother of industrialist August Thyssen, on former textile factory grounds.
The residence exemplifies upper-class industrial living standards of the late 19th century through its grand reception rooms, private quarters, and detailed interior craftsmanship.
The villa maintains a public garden with old trees and the Thyssen pond, located opposite to the Wasserbahnhof, making it accessible for walking tours.
From 1984 to 2004, the building served as headquarters for the Center of Innovation and Technology before standing empty until 2008.
