Villa Oberhummer, Heritage villa in Thalkirchen district, Munich, Germany
Villa Oberhummer is a residential mansion at Heilmannstraße 25 in the Thalkirchen district featuring a two-story entrance hall, fireplace, tiled stove, large dining room, and connected library. The building combines spacious living areas with a carefully planned interior layout.
The building was constructed in 1901 by architect Gustav Schellenberger in English country house style for the villa colony, with Jakob Heilmann's nephew involved in its design. It was part of a residential movement that sought elevated living outside the city center.
The interior showcases detailed stucco decorations and wood paneling designed by architect Ino A. Campbell that remain intact today. These crafted elements shape how the rooms feel and reflect the quality of the original construction.
The building was renovated between 1981 and 1985 and now contains four independent apartments while maintaining the original room configuration. Visitors should know that modern use has preserved the historical structure.
Garden designer Karl Foerster from Potsdam created sun and shade gardens around the property with a walkway that was destroyed in 1943. These gardens show the tension between wartime damage and what remains visible today.
