Villa Wollner, Heritage monument in Wachwitz, Dresden, Germany.

Villa Wollner is a spacious private residence on a sunny slope above the Elbe in Wachwitz. The building includes four event spaces on the ground floor, a winter garden, five guest rooms, broad terraces, and a landscaped garden with a pond.

The core of the house dates from the 18th century; an etching of 1799 names Gottlob Ernst Ferdinand von Knoch as owner. Justus Friedrich Güntz, who bought the estate in 1861, extended the house and added greenhouses for pineapples and a water tower. From 1906 to 1908 Wilhelm Kreis rebuilt and enlarged the villa for Robert Wollner, and Max Bertram laid out the park. From 1933 an SS unit was quartered here, later followed by an SS sports school and the Reich Labour Service.

The villa's name comes from Robert Karl Paul Wollner and his wife Emmy, née Spies, who inherited the Am Steinberg 14 property and had it rebuilt by Wilhelm Kreis from 1906 to 1908. Wollner used it as a summer residence on the Altwachwitz vineyard hill. Since 2015 it has housed the non-profit LIOHT Foundation and the IFEB institute, and can be rented for events.

The property sits on a southwest-facing slope overlooking the Elbe and the river valley, making it easily visible and reachable. The elevated location allows visitors to enjoy views while attending events or exploring the grounds.

Justus Friedrich Güntz, who bought the estate in 1861, grew pineapples in a large greenhouse complex. A water tower built at the same time, holding a 5,000-litre copper tank, supplied irrigation for the exotic plants and doubled as a viewing tower; it was demolished by blasting in 1959.
