Villa Quandt

The two-story brick villa features traditional plasterwork and stands as an example of residential architecture from the 1820s period in Potsdam.

The villa changed ownership multiple times, serving as a home for industrialist Günter Quandt and later becoming part of the Soviet military administration until 1993.

Since 2007, Villa Quandt houses the Theodor Fontane Archive and Brandenburg Literature Office, contributing to the preservation of German literary heritage.

Guided tours provide visitors access to this architectural monument, which forms part of the UNESCO World Heritage site Palaces and Parks of Potsdam and Berlin.

The building maintains its original structural elements while functioning as an archive, demonstrating the successful adaptation of historical architecture for modern purposes.
