Villa Kogge, Historical villa in Charlottenburg, Germany
Description
Villa Kogge is a protected residential building in the Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf district that now serves as a register office. Inside, a central hall with a skylight stretches across several floors, built according to classical Renaissance principles.
History
Timber merchant Carl Albert Friedrich Kogge commissioned the building between 1864 and 1866 at the former address Lützow 12 as his private residence. In the 21st century, the structure underwent extensive renovation and was handed over to district administration as a register office.
Culture
Visitors entering from the south see two Hellenistic figures on covered pedestals, framed by columns that reflect late classical design. This formal entrance now welcomes couples and families attending civil ceremonies in the register office.
Practical
The register office receives visitors on weekdays for weddings and other official matters. Ground floor rooms are accessible without stairs, while upper levels are reached by a staircase.
Did you know?
Each of the four facades displays different architectural elements with projecting sections and extensions, setting the building apart from other Charlottenburg residences. This design makes it among the oldest surviving residential structures in the neighborhood.
