Wikingborg, Protected cultural heritage monument in Borgfeld, Bremen, Germany.

Wikingborg is a single-story villa at Katrepeler Landstraße 51 in Borgfeld, clad in white stone, built 1961/62 to plans by Eberhard Gildemeister. A tent-like roof with a curved ridge and few dormers covers the main living wing; a curved section adjoins it. Between the living wing and the former stable with six boxes and the caretaker's apartment, a passage is sheltered by this roof, whose round tiles stress its plasticity.

The villa was built in 1961/62 for Bremen shipowner and shipbroker Helmut Parchmann, who founded his shipping company in 1956; by 1962 it owned nine ships. During construction of the property, reportedly costing two million marks, the company entered a widely noted insolvency. The house has been a protected monument since 1981 and is now divided into condominiums.

The name Wikingborg refers to the gilded Viking ship that once topped the roof ridge. A horse sculpture by Herbert Kubica stands before the arcade-covered entrance, and the former stable with six boxes and the caretaker's apartment are linked to the house by a covered passage.

The building is located at Katrepeler Landstraße 51 and today functions as condominiums. The complex remains largely visible from the street while respecting private property boundaries.

The gilded Viking ship that crowned the roof has disappeared, but the name Wikingborg stuck to the house. The owner, shipowner Helmut Parchmann, founded his shipping company in 1956; by 1962 it operated nine ships. During construction of the villa, reportedly costing two million marks, the company slid into a widely noted insolvency. The house is now divided into condominiums.
