Villa Hoffbauer, Residential villa near Stadtkanal in Potsdam, Germany.

Villa Hoffbauer was a villa on the Stadtkanal in Potsdam, named after the industrialists and foundation founders Hermann and Clara Hoffbauer. It stood a few metres before the mouth of the Planitz into the Havel, directly on the eastern canal wall at the end of the street An der Gewehrfabrik. The building was destroyed in the air raid on Potsdam on 14 April 1945; its plot, like the filled-in Stadtkanal, is now largely overgrown.

Hermann and Clara Hoffbauer, industrialists and founders of a foundation, acquired the villa in 1870; until then it was known as the Havelhaus. Under them it became a meeting place of Potsdam society, with frequent guests including Theodor Fontane and the surgeon Ernst von Bergmann. On 14 April 1945 the building was destroyed in the air raid on Potsdam, and that same year the street An der Gewehrfabrik was renamed Hoffbauerstraße after the couple.

The villa served as a meeting place for writers, doctors, and educated figures who gathered to exchange ideas and conversation. These gatherings shaped intellectual life in Potsdam during the late 1800s and made the house a center for discussion and social events.

The villa no longer stands: it was destroyed in the air raid of 14 April 1945, and its plot at the end of today's Hoffbauerstraße, by the filled-in Stadtkanal, is largely overgrown. Nothing of the building can be viewed; the street name, given in the same year, is what recalls the Hoffbauers.

The villa no longer stands: it was destroyed in the air raid on Potsdam on 14 April 1945, and the street at the former gun factory was renamed Hoffbauerstraße in the same year after Hermann and Clara Hoffbauer. The plot, like the filled-in Stadtkanal beside it, is now largely overgrown.
