A Summer of Heritage at Lehnitzsee: Villa Aurea Opens Its Doors
On September 13, 2026, Landhaus Adlon, now known as Villa Aurea, invites you to a special afternoon filled with architecture, memory, and vibrant local history. From 3:00 PM to 8:00 PM, visitors will experience an event that combines guided tours, readings, and exhibitions in a historically enriched environment.
A History You Can Touch
The villa was built in 1925 on behalf of hotelier Louis Adlon, designed by Hans Rottmayer in the style of Neo-Baroque. The property, spanning over 500 square meters, including the main building, the cavalier house, and the boathouse, tells the story of an era when representative architecture, social life, and private retreats were closely intertwined.
Exploration, Tour, and Reading
The program focuses on variety and depth: A guided exploration tour traces the footsteps of the Adlons through the area, complemented by an exhibition on its use as a children's clinic from 1948 to 1966, including a documentary film. The guided tour starts at 4:30 PM, followed by a reading by Hedda Adlon at 6:00 PM. In addition, there is a gastronomic offering on-site to round out the visit pleasantly.
A Place with a Multifaceted Past
Villa Aurea represents not only elegant architecture but also a piece of Potsdam's contemporary history. After World War II, the complex was used by various institutions. Today, it is primarily known as Villa Aurea and a wedding venue, embodying a unique blend of heritage conservation, event planning, and cultural use.
Travel and Practical Information
The connection is clearly described: Those arriving by public transport can reach the villa via the Heinrich-Heine-Weg stop with bus lines 638 and 697 from Potsdam Central Station. The visit to the heritage sites and the associated offerings is free; fee-based additional offerings are indicated separately. Donations are welcome.
Conclusion: For those who wish to experience the interplay of heritage, narrative, and atmosphere live, this offers a rare insight into a historically significant house at Lehnitzsee. A visit is worthwhile for anyone looking to discover Potsdam from its narrative and architectural side.
