61 Batalionów Chłopskich Street in Szczecin, Cultural heritage villa in Szczecin, Poland.
The Grüneberg Villa at 61 Batalionów Chłopskich Street is a two-storey Art Nouveau house designed in 1908 by city architect Adolf Stahl and completed in 1910 (or 1911–12). Its design follows ideas of the Deutscher Werkbund. Inside, the staircase retains original elements of its balustrade and ceiling decoration, and the original door and window joinery survives.
The villa was built during the period when Szczecin was under German administration and reflects the architectural styles of that time. It later became part of Poland's cultural heritage register and has retained its historical designation since then.
The house displays architectural features typical of residential design from its era in this region. Walking around it, you notice the construction details and proportions that were common for homes built at that time.
The building is located in a residential neighborhood with convenient connections to central Szczecin. Visitors should understand that this is a private residence that can only be viewed from outside.
In 2010 the city approved demolition of the villa for a fast tram line, apparently unaware of its history; protests across Europe followed, the building was entered in the municipal monument register, and in 2014 the whole house was moved 45 metres on rails.
