Villa Meister

Villa Meister, Neo-Baroque villa in Sindlingen, Germany

Villa Meister, built 1903–1904 as Villa Lindenhaus, is a castle-like Neo-Baroque estate on a rise above the Main in Frankfurt-Sindlingen, designed by Franz von Hoven. The walled park, redesigned in 1913 by Philipp Siesmayer, contains an orangery, stables for six carriage and two riding horses, a coachman's and gardener's house, and a former riding track.

Herbert von Meister commissioned architect Franz von Hoven to build this mansion, replacing an earlier manor on the same site. After 1980 the building was converted into a rehabilitation clinic following its use as the Institute for Applied Geodesy.

The estate is named after Herbert von Meister, son of Hoechst AG co-founder Carl Friedrich Wilhelm Meister, who bought the land in 1902. The park was redesigned in 1913 by Philipp Siesmayer. Since 1982 the villa housed a rehabilitation clinic of the Deutscher Orden, first called "Phönix-Haus", later "Villa unter den Linden".

The villa sits on elevated ground with views toward the Main River and is best accessed from the nearby street. Visitors should be aware that portions of the grounds may be restricted or privatized, so checking current access before your visit is advisable.

After the Second World War the US military administration seized the estate, and in 1945 Else von Meister and her daughter Elisabeth had to move into the coachman's house, where they stayed even after the property was returned in 1953. The stables, separated from the park by a gate, held six carriage horses and two riding horses, plus two garages for cars.
