Liebermann-Villa am Wannsee

This lovely lakefront villa was the summer retreat of German impressionist painter and Berliner Secession founder Max Liebermann from 1909 until his death in 1935. Liebermann loved the lyricism of nature and often painted the gardens as seen through the window of his barrel-vaulted upstairs studio. A selection of these works is displayed in these very rooms, while downstairs you'll find a timeline charting milestones in the life of the Liebermann family and the villa itself.

Afterwards, drink in the entrancing views of the beautiful gardens spilling into Lake Wannsee over coffee and cake from the villa's Cafe Max, which has seating in the Liebermann family dining room and on the flower-flanked terrace.
