Emisch-Haus, Architectural heritage monument in Lichterfelde, Germany.

The Emisch-Haus at Curtiusstraße 6 is a two-storey tower villa with half-timbering and a slate roof, built as an example of eclectic historicism. Its painted facades show the story of Noah's Ark, the medieval poet Walther von der Vogelweide, birds of prey and two angels. A bronze statue of Saint Paul stands in a gable niche facing Baseler Straße.

Architect Wilhelm Sander built the villa for his own family between 1892 and 1895, giving the timber-framed gable its painted decoration. Financial difficulties soon forced him to sell, and he emigrated to German South West Africa. In 1902 the banker Paul Emisch (1873–1956) bought the house, had it converted for his own use and completed the paintings. His descendants still own it and began restoring it in the early 1970s; in 1995, for the house's centenary, they had the paintings renewed by a decorative painter.

Lichterfelde residents call it the Emisch-Haus after a cartouche of half-unrolled leaves on the facade bearing the name Paul Emisch. The banker, who bought the villa in 1902, had his family crest painted with a sun held by his daughter and the motto "Fürchte Gott, tue recht, scheue niemand". Sayings in Low German and Latin, such as "Hic rideo ego", run along the walls inside and out.

The house stands at Curtiusstraße 6, a short walk from Lichterfelde West station. It is a private residence still owned by Emisch's descendants, so the painted facade, the Noah's Ark scenes and the bronze statue of Saint Paul in the gable niche facing Baseler Straße are seen from the street. Nearby at Baseler Straße 2–4 stands the Westbazar, built to plans by Georg Böhme.

The gable tip of the timber frame still holds the former stables, which are well preserved. On the roof garden, once ringed by an ornate balustrade with large ornamental plant tubs and a seating area, the family kept a billy goat for a time.
