Villa Hinderer, War ruins in Steglitz-Zehlendorf, Germany.

The red brick villa on Beymestrasse 16 stands without a roof, with trees growing through its window openings and walls covered in ivy.

Built in 1904 for rentier J. Stein, the villa suffered severe damage during an Allied air raid on March 23-24, 1944, destroying the Protestant Press archives.

Theologian August Hinderer, director of the Protestant Press Association, resided in the villa while leading the influential Protestant media organization until 1934.

The property remains enclosed by a secure fence, with the current owner, Hinderer's granddaughter, maintaining the site in its unrestored condition.

Trees have grown through the structure over decades, creating an unusual merger of architecture and nature within Berlin's urban landscape.
