Billen-Pavillon, Cultural heritage building in Wolfsburg, Germany
The Billen-Pavillon is a modern building with a single-story skeleton structure, wide glass facades, and a flat roof located in Wolfsburg. An inner courtyard with a black locust tree sits within, while various natural stones like marble and travertine divide the interior spaces.
The building was constructed in 1959 by natural stone entrepreneur Johann Tilmann Billen and drew inspiration from Mies van der Rohe's Barcelona Pavilion of 1929. It received heritage protection status in 2012.
The interior showcases various natural stone materials like white marble, travertine, slate, onyx, and granite across different sections. These materials define the character of the space and reveal the craftsmanship of its original owner.
The building is situated on Maybachweg 7 in the Heßlingen district and is accessible by public transportation. Visitors should check ahead about access, as entry may be restricted at times.
The pavilion combines clean modern geometry with a green courtyard that weaves nature into the interior. This fusion reflects post-war design philosophy that connected functionality with natural experience.
