News from the Liebermann Villa
Until January 22, 2024: Introducing Grete Ring
Until January 22, 2024 we will present the fascinating life of Grete Ring, an influential art dealer of the 20th century who has now been almost forgotten. As Max Liebermann’s niece, a close friend of his daughter Käthe and godmother of his granddaughter Maria, Ring was a regular guest in Liebermann’s summer house on Lake Wannsee. It’s high time to welcome her back.
Garden. Donation. Future
Until 2024 we are planning important major projects in our garden to prepare Liebermann’s garden for the future – and we need your help!
The Villa
Around 1900, a trend for country houses became noticeable among Berlin’s upper middle classes. In July 1909, the painter Max Liebermann (1847-1935) acquired one of the last waterfront properties in the Alsen villa colony on Lake Wannsee – two plots of land at Große Seestraße 24 (today Colomierstraße 3). There he created a summer retreat for his family away from their main residence in the heart of Berlin.

The Garden
A central component of the Liebermann Villa is the historical garden, designed according to Liebermann’s own wishes. The garden became a important motif for Liebermann’s late work and today attracts over 80,000 visitors a year.
