Liebermann Villa, Berlin
This villa was once home to Germany’s most celebrated impressionist painter, Max Liebermann. During World War Two the Nazi forces ransacked his home and took all of his prized art works as part of the oppression of the Jewish community and artistic expression during the Third Reich. The villa was used as a hospital when the war came to an end, however, in 2006 various members of the community re-opened the residence and restored it to its former glory. Today the villa displays a permanent showcase of Liebermann’s work as well as manicured gardens which provide a fantastic inspiration for budding artists and travellers.
