In 1908, Germany’s first independent female architect, Emilie Winkelmann, crafted a unique residence in Grunewald. This villa, known as Landhaus Presber, was built for the writer Rudolf Presber. Landhaus Presber stands as a testament to Winkelmann’s innovative design. The large hipped roof stretches down to the main floor on the long sides. On the shorter sides, the roof projects outward, curving gracefully above a gable. This distinctive feature sets the Landhaus Presber apart. The ground floor features hewn stones along the street side. Tall rectangular windows adorn the bay windows, adding to the villa’s modern aesthetic. An intriguing round turret bay window graces the east side. On the west side, a semicircular bay window at the lower level is topped by a dormer framed with half-timbering. Landhaus Presber truly embodies the spirit of early 20th-century modernism. Presber eventually sold the villa in 1920 and moved to Bundesallee 222. During the 1920s, the interior of Landhaus Presber underwent extensive renovations across all floors. The white-plastered exterior remains a striking example of modern architecture.
