Summary

Already the name "Schwanenhof" (Swan Court) evokes thoughts of quiet, moments in a quiet oasis on a paradisiacal island. Schwanenwerder is known as one of Germany's most sought-after most desirable and historically significant island addresses. Here resided for a long time wealthy bankers, politicians, businessmen with magnificent country residences. Also prominent expats like Dwight D. Eisenhauer and Lucius D. Clay, who planned the Berlin Airlift from this island, were at home here. The villa is the oldest and historically most valuable house on the island. A patina, like in Venice, paired with wit and humor characterize the ambience of the house. The jungle painting in the orangery with the monkey hanging from the ceiling and the giraffe peering in from the garden, are examples of this. The hidden "Harry Potter" room surprises with a cozy library. A spacious garden with old trees and a pool with a spacious terrace form the backdrop for this dreamlike villa and create absolute tranquility and privacy. An exclusive water access to the Wannsee was always available for this property.

Location

The Havel Islands in Berlin's suburban area have always attracted prominent residents. From 1794, King Frederick William II had a summer palace built on Pfauen Insel (Peacock Island), which at the beginning of the 19th century was used by Queen Luise as her residence. One hundred years later, Wilhelm II renamed the neighboring island Schwanenwerder, which until then had been called Sandwerder. A bridge from the mainland to the circular island road was built. The most expensive street in the first German edition of Monopoly was named after this street – Inselstrasse . Schwanenwerder quickly became a center of attraction for the financial elite of the empire, who built magnificent villas here. Even today, hardly any other place in Germany offers so much tranquility, closeness to nature, and seclusion - and at the same time is so close to the city center. Via the AVUS, you can quickly reach the government district, the Berlin / Brandenburg airport and Berlin's city center, with its wide range of upscale restaurants, exclusive stores and charming cafés. Stores for daily needs are loctaed in the Wannsee district. Elementary school and grammar schools are also in the immediate vicinity.
