this villa, designed by henry van de velde, is beautifully renovated and includes some exquisite furniture also designed by it. actually it is a small van de velde museum, the only one in Germany. the most beautiful part is the ground floor salon and... Dining room, great room in itself with some exquisite firniture and a large porcelain set. there is a good restaurant in a house next to the villa. the only part in our visit was that no postcards, although they were meant to sell with their trips and inconspicuous to the sale, were not on this day for sale, who knows why.
