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.

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.
