Villa Marie, Timber-framed house in Blasewitz, Dresden, Germany

The Villa Marie stands next to the Blue Wonder bridge on the Elbe River, featuring Italian architectural elements with a distinctive tower and oriel windows.

Built in 1860 by architect Friedrich Pötzsch, the villa changed its name from Monbijou to Villa Marie after 1944 when owner Marie Hortenbach was expropriated.

During the 1980s, the building became an underground art gallery called 'fotogen', where local artists gathered and exhibited their works from 1988 to 1990.

The restored villa now operates as an Italian restaurant, offering dining services with views of the Elbe River and surrounding hillsides.

Local artists and preservationists prevented the demolition of this deteriorating structure in 1988, leading to its complete restoration in the 1990s.
