Villenensemble der Familie Wilkens

The Wilkens Family Villa Ensemble consists of two buildings: a two-story plastered classical villa with a hipped roof and a single-story brick residential house.

The Wilkens family acquired the villa in 1869, following the establishment of their M. H. Wilkens & Söhne silverware factory in 1859 in Bremen.

The buildings represent the architectural transformation of Bremen during the industrial period, when successful manufacturers constructed substantial private residences.

The ensemble currently serves the community as a civic center, offering various services and public spaces within its renovated historical structures.

The connecting green space between the buildings has been transformed into the public Wilkens Park, integrating the historical properties with contemporary urban life.
