Lindenbeinsche Villa, building in Quedlinburg, Germany
The Lindenbeinsche Villa is a Neogothic building built in 1898 that stands on a large plot next to Quedlinburg's city wall. The stone house has a roof with battlements and turrets, white windows, and a garden with old trees such as ginkgos and pines.
The building was designed in 1898 for industrialist Georg Lindenbein by architect Friedrich Staeding and was meant to reflect his business success. After World War II, the villa served as a military office, later as a textile factory, and was eventually neglected for decades until the Wobst family began restoration in 1995.
The villa takes its name from the Lindenbein family, who shaped the building in the early 20th century. Visitors can see original wall paintings, decorated tiles, and fireplaces inside that show how wealthy families of that era lived and decorated their homes.
The villa is located on Wallstraße just west of the old town and is easily reached from the city center. Since the building now operates as a hotel with a restaurant and cafe, visitors can view parts of the interior as well as have meals or drinks there.
When built, the house was technologically advanced with its own electric lighting generator, hot and cold water in all bathrooms, and an internal telephone system connecting rooms. A particularly large ginkgo tree from the house's founding era still grows in the garden today.
