Ohlendorff mansion

The Ohlendorff mansion is a residential building in Volksdorf displaying typical Hamburg villa architecture. Its structure shows characteristic room layouts and design principles from the period when it was built.

Architects Gottfried Schramm and Erich Elingius created this mansion as an expression of the early 20th century. Today it is protected as a monument and preserves the craft and artistic standards of that building period.

The mansion bears its founder's name and shows how wealthy Hamburg residents designed their homes. The rooms and exterior form tell of how people lived in an earlier time.

The house sits in a quiet residential area and is visible from public spaces. Visitors should know that this is a privately used monument that can only be viewed from outside.

The two architects created here one of their lesser-known works that still shows the same care for details. The house demonstrates how master builders applied their principles even to smaller private projects.
