Villa, Architectural heritage monument in Feldafing, Germany.
The Hans-Albers-Villa is a two-storey white stucco building with a dark brown gabled roof, deep eaves and exposed wooden beams. A wooden balcony with cut-out balusters sits under the gable, and a dark metal canopy with a glass roof covers the entrance. Wooden shutters flank the windows, and a smaller wooden balcony with slat railings stands on the ground-level right side.
Oberstabsarzt Ludwig Loé bought the roughly two-hectare Mühlbergl in 1857 and built the country house on the hill in 1865; a small Calvary chapel that had stood there since the 16th century was demolished for it. In 1935 the actor Hans Albers bought the villa for 60,000 Reichsmark and lived there until his death in 1960. His partner and heir Hansi Burg sold it to the Free State of Bavaria in 1971, and since 2020 the villa, boathouse and park are protected monuments.
The name recalls actor Hans Albers, who bought the Loé villa in 1935 for 60,000 Reichsmark and lived there until his death in 1960. His partner Hansi Burg, daughter of his mentor Eugen Burg, returned from British exile after the war and shared the house with him for 15 years. The entrance portal carries wrought-iron ornament with fish motifs.
The ensemble stands at Hans-Albers-Weg 6 in the Garatshausen district of Feldafing, on the Mühlbergl hill above the western shore of Lake Starnberg. Villa, boathouse, bathing house and park have been listed monuments since 2020, and the property passed to the Free State of Bavaria in 1971 for public recreation use. The buildings are not open as a museum; the park paths and the view axes toward the lake and the Alps are what a visitor can reach.
The entrance portal carries wrought-iron ornament with fish motifs, and the boathouse built in 1936 has a largely column-free interior spanned by a hanging truss, its ceiling carried by a Hängewerk construction. Craftsmen from East Frisia built the thatched wooden boathouse with a bat dormer to a design by Munich architect Georg Hellmuth Winkler.
