Gattersburg, Grimma, Heritage villa in Grimma, Germany.

Gattersburg is a heritage villa in Grimma with a distinctive round tower that rises from a steep hillside above the Mulde River. The estate operates today as a hotel and includes multiple rooms and spaces used for accommodation and events.

The site takes its name from judge Johann Christian Gattert, who bought the slope in 1785 and built a country house there in 1791/92. In 1887/88 the Leipzig architects Pfeifer & Händel built the present Neorenaissance villa for paper manufacturer Max Schroeder, replacing an earlier house. After 1945 it housed a commandant's office, then a school, kindergarten and flats until 1997; it reopened as a hotel in 1998.

The name Gattersburg comes from Johann Christian Gattert, who bought the slope in 1785 and built a country house there in 1791/92. The neighbouring Neue Gattersburg served beer and food until 1990, most recently as an HO restaurant. Since 2003 the Evangelical Elim congregation has used that building as its community house, while the villa hosts private celebrations and conferences with external catering.

The villa stands at Colditzer Straße 3, about 60 metres back from the road in a park-like plot; behind it the ground drops roughly 20 metres to the Mulde, crossed by a suspension bridge. The hotel reopened in 2017 without a restaurant, so meals are not served on site; it is set up for private celebrations with external catering and for conferences.

The property features an artificial ruin made from rubble stones, deliberately built during the initial development of the estate. This ruin remains visible today and gives the hillside a romantic quality that hints at centuries past.
