Waldhof Hackhausen, Architectural heritage monument in Ohligs district, Solingen, Germany.
Waldhof Hackhausen is a stately mansion in Solingen featuring classical design with Greek wall decorations and two chandeliers in its entrance hall. The building has multiple rooms with refined interiors and is currently used for cultural events and private gatherings.
The mansion was built in 1912 by Eugen Berg, a prominent merchant from Solingen's blade industry, and designed by architect Paul Schultze-Naumburg in classical style. It represents the prosperity and design ideals of the early 1900s.
The rooms carry names like the Pink Hall and Blue Salon, reflecting the taste of the Belle Epoque era. Today these spaces host art exhibitions and musical performances that reveal how the wealthy once lived and entertained.
The property can be rented for events and meetings with capacity for up to 100 people in historical rooms or garden settings. Visitors should check ahead whether the house is open for tours or available only for private events.
The property includes a two-hectare garden with tree-lined paths, rose beds, hornbeam hedges, and specimen trees throughout the grounds. A swimming pool nestled within the garden provides an unexpected leisure facility on this urban estate.
