Siemens historic estate goes on sale at public auction
The historic Siemens Villa, a grand monument situated on a peninsula jutting into the Lehnitzsee, will be going up for auction on Thursday at the Potsdam District Court. The auction is a forced sale, with no further details about the reason for the forced sale or the potential buyers being disclosed.
Built in 1910 by architect Otto March, the main house of the Siemens Villa was designed for the family of Carl Friedrich Siemens. After reunification, the Siemens Villa estate was returned to the Siemens family, but a planned renovation did not materialize.
The estate, spanning over 100,000 square meters, has a rich history. After World War II, it was used by the Soviet army as a hospital. From 1952 onwards, it served as a lung clinic. The Siemens family, however, allowed the use of a clinic and a school on the estate.
Haiko Türk, head of Practical Monument Conservation at the State Office for Heritage Preservation, has commented on the Siemens Villa. In a recent announcement, he mentioned the potential for renovation. Despite the lack of renovation in the past, the estimated market value of the Siemens Villa is approximately 27 million euros.
The Siemens Villa, with its significant historical and architectural importance, is a highly anticipated addition to the auction block. Interested parties will have the opportunity to bid on this grand property at the Potsdam District Court on Thursday. As the auction is a forced sale, no information about the background of the auction can be provided until the date of the public auction.
