The
garden at Villa Harteneck presents itself quite openly to the passer-by,
protected only by a fence rather than hidden behind high walls. Its
splendid layout, surrounded by low yew hedges, extends between the terrace
and a pergola opposite. The rectangular garden looks spacious while still
maintaining a sense of privacy. It contains an oval pool in the centre of
the lawn with a jetting fountain and a smaller fountain in front of the
benches by the pergola. There are round flower beds, paths and two groups
of seating at the side, one of which includes a lovely circular bench
under the old limes. Somewhat deeper stretches a landscaped section with
pleasant paths which one can reach from Fontanestrasse through an entrance
between plots 13 and 17. The house and garden were designed by Adolf
Wollenberg in 1911/12, in the style of a classical Italian country
residence. In the 1980’s, the Department for the Preservation of
Historic Buildings and Monuments restored the garden which was completely
overgrown and opened one of Grunewald’s loveliest villa gardens to the
public. While access to the villa was not previously possible, it can now
be visited thanks to the new occupier, Floristry and Decoration KG.
Exquisite designer furniture, Italian garden accessories and tasteful
knick-knacks are sold in the splendid ground-floor rooms and on the raised
garden terrace, - things that seem made especially for this delightful
place. |
