Villa Simson, Cultural heritage monument in Suhl, Germany

The Villa Simson displays a limestone base level, followed by a terrace and two recessed plastered upper floors, topped with mansard and attic levels.

Built between 1911 and 1912 for Jeanette Simson, widow of entrepreneur Gerson Simson, the villa served as a residence until the family fled to the USA in 1935.

The two-story entrance hall and dining room on the first floor reflected the social status and entertainment purposes of the Jewish industrial family.

The property spans 7,644 square meters with 953 square meters of living space, situated on the southern slope of Domberg mountain above Suhl's city center.

In March 2023, the gutted villa was sold at auction for 260,000 euros, with plans for conversion into eleven residential units and underground parking.
