Villa Maria, Cultural heritage monument in Oberloschwitz, Dresden, Germany
Villa Maria is a neoclassical building with Italian architectural elements located in Oberloschwitz. The structure features distinctive roof terminations and a characteristic tower at the rear of the property.
The building was constructed around 1879 originally under the name Villa Dora. It was later renamed after becoming associated with Maria Rink, a person connected to the Saxon court.
The building gained recognition when it served as a filming location for the 1988 production Die Weihnachtsgans Auguste. This cinematic connection continues to shape how visitors and locals perceive the place today.
The building stands near the Dresden funicular railway and can be explored on foot. The surrounding area is hilly and offers various walking paths to view the property and its surroundings.
The outer wall displays an unusual plaque stating 'Hier geschah im Jahre 1875 absolut nichts,' which humorously commemorates an imaginary event. This witty installation is a rare example of artistic provocation on a heritage monument.
