Liebermann Villa

The Liebermann Villa at Wannsee, under the sponsorship of the Max-Liebermann-Gesellschaft Berlin e.V., represents the former summer house of the renowned painter Max Liebermann (1847-1935). After an eventful history from 1940 onwards, the house and the garden were completely restored thanks to the initiative of the sponsoring association and opened to the public in 2006. The villa now functions as an art museum dedicated to Max Liebermann and his era. The listed garden, preserved in its original form from Liebermann's time, is considered a pioneering example of the European reform garden movement.

An outstanding feature of the Liebermann Villa is the voluntary commitment, which is carried out by 120 volunteers. They support the property with their services in the garden, as tour guides or in the museum shop. The architecture of the villa in the style of Hamburg classicism and the collection in the permanent exhibition are decisively enriched by numerous permanent loans, including Liebermann paintings from the National Gallery. Since the opening of the museum, the Nationalgalerie has continuously supported the museum with loans, and further loans from private collections as well as from German and international museums are presented for the changing special exhibitions. Visitors also have the opportunity to enjoy the atmosphere of the house and garden on the terrace and in the former dining room of the Liebermann family during opening hours.
