Blücherstraße 4, Heritage villa in Bad Sachsa, Germany.

Villa Blücherstraße 4, formerly Bismarckstraße 14 and now called Villa Vida, is a listed villa built in 1900 as the summer residence of Franz Uthemann, the Russian ambassador in St. Petersburg. It stands next to the Schmelzteich in Bad Sachsa's spa quarter and is now part of the Romantischer Winkel hotel. On the grounds is a garden pavilion from the Paris World Exhibition of 1900, bought by Uthemann as a gift for his wife.

Built in 1900 as the summer residence of Franz Uthemann, Russian ambassador in St. Petersburg whose main home was in Wiesbaden. In 1904 Uthemann bought a tea pavilion shown at the Paris Exposition of 1900 as a gift for his wife; it still stands on the grounds. The Lohoff family, owners of the Harzer Holzwarenfabrik Gebr. Lohoff in Tettenborn, acquired the property in 1923, and from 1945 to 1951 the composer Norbert Schultze lived here. In 1992 the villa was absorbed into the Romantischer Winkel hotel complex.

The villa is known in Bad Sachsa as the Lohoff'sche Villa, after the Lohoff family who bought it in 1923; Emil Lohoff owned the Harzer Holzwarenfabrik Gebr. Lohoff in Tettenborn, once the world's largest maker of clothes pegs. The house chapel holds two historic stained-glass windows donated to St. Nikolai church by Willbrandt Rothert, founder of the Pädagogium boarding school, for his daughters' confirmation. Look for the glazed door to the upper-floor corridor, decorated with fairy-tale scenes including Little Red Riding Hood.

The villa stands on Blücherstraße in Bad Sachsa's spa quarter, next to the Schmelzteich lake, an artificial pond created in the 16th century. It is part of the Romantischer Winkel hotel grounds, so the interior is normally reserved for hotel guests; the villa itself can usually be visited on the Day of the Open Monument.

The garden pavilion on the grounds was shown at the Paris Exposition of 1900 and bought there by Franz Uthemann as a gift for his wife; it still stands on the property. Inside, the glazing of the Beletage corridor door shows fairy-tale scenes, among them Little Red Riding Hood.
