Villa Gericke

Villa Gericke is a residential building in Potsdam located on a slope below the Belvedere on Pfingstberg, featuring detailed architectural work and decorated facades. The house shows the typical characteristics of German villa design with carefully crafted elements on its walls and roofline.

The building was created during a time when Potsdam was developing many homes for wealthy residents. This period shaped the town with elegant houses that reflected the architectural trends of that era.

The building's name reflects its original owner, and it shows how wealthy residents of that era lived and what they valued in their homes. Today you can see in the facade and details how the tastes and lifestyle of the inhabitants were expressed in the architecture.

The building is privately used and access to the villa is not possible without prior permission. Visitors should check in advance whether a visit is allowed under certain conditions.

After years of decline, the house underwent major restoration work that uncovered its original architectural elements. These elements show connections to French spa designs from Normandy, revealing international influences in how it was designed.
