Liebermann-Villa am Wannsee is a house-museum in Berlin. Opened in 2006, the museum is dedicated to Max Liebermann's artistic work and his time. It is in fact the summer residence of the impressionist painter Max Liebermann (1847-1935), one of the most influential characters of his time, co-founder of the Berlin Secession and President of the Prussian Academy until 1932. The villa is located in the immediate vicinity of Lake Wannsee and is surrounded by a large garden which has often become the subject of the artist's paintings. It was part of the “colony Alsen”, an exclusive district founded in 1863 by the banker Wilhelm Conrad, who wanted to create a high-bourgeois version of the imperial residence in Sans Souci (Potsdam). Max Liebermann's villa was confiscated by the Nazis in 1933, which happened to many other houses in the Alsen colony, such as Villa Minoux, where the infamous Wannsee Conference took place. The villa has undergone a meticulous restoration. His visit allows you to visit the private rooms and the artist's studio, in which there are about 40 paintings inspired by the villa itself. The museum then exhibits the history of the painter's family and its fate with the beginning of the Nazi era, and finally allows you to stroll in the large park around the villa.
