Villa Sack, Neo-baroque villa in Plagwitz, Germany

The three-story Villa Sack stands on Karl-Heine-Straße with a mansard roof and tuffstone exterior covering its 36-meter by 20-meter structure.

Built in 1909 for industrialist Fritz Sack, the villa later served as Gestapo headquarters during 1939-1940 before becoming state property in 1941.

From 1950, the building operated as Klubhaus Freundschaft, a leisure facility connected to German-Soviet relations and local state enterprises.

The building underwent complete renovation from 1995 to 1997, including the installation of an elevator connecting all floors from basement to third level.

The villa currently houses two Criminal Senates of the Federal Court of Justice, serving as an important judicial center in Leipzig.
