About Us
The Liebermann Villa on Lake Wannsee, supported by the Max Liebermann Society, is the former summer house of the painter Max Liebermann (1847-1935). After an eventful history in the years after 1940, the house and garden were completely renovated under the leadership of the Society and opened to the public in 2006. The villa is now an art museum dedicated to Max Liebermann and his time. The listed garden exists as it did in Liebermann’s time and is considered a leading example of the European reform garden movement.
Museum Team
The team of the Liebermann Villa consists of around fifteen employees.

Supporting association
The Max Liebermann Society
The Liebermann Villa is supported by the Max Liebermann Society (“Max-Liebermann-Gesellschaft Berlin e.V.”). The purpose of this charitable association is to maintain the memory of Max Liebermann and his work, and to conduct research into his work. Today the Max Liebermann Society has over 2,200 members and is one of the largest cultural associations in Germany.
History of the Society
The Max Liebermann Society was founded in 1995 with only fifteen members. Thanks to the extraordinary commitment of its members, it has succeeded in taking over the Liebermann Villa, completely reconstructing the property and establishing it as a museum.

The Liebermann Villa receives no public base funding. The annual contributions of our members make a significant contribution to the running costs of the house, museum and garden. Join us today and help us continue this work, while enjoying exclusive member benefits.
