The residential building in 12205 Berlin-Lichterfelde is a listed building, built in 1895–1896 by the renowned architect Gustav Lilienthal. It is part of the historic Lichterfelde West villa colony, one of the oldest and most important villa developments in Berlin. This colony was developed from the 1860s onwards by the entrepreneur Johann Anton Wilhelm von Carstenn and is characterized by a large number of prestigious villas from the late 19th century. Gustav Lilienthal, the brother of the aviation pioneer Otto Lilienthal, was an important architect and building contractor. He shaped the townscape of Lichterfelde West with numerous villas, often designed in a romantic, historicist style. His buildings are characterized by a mixture of different architectural styles, including elements of Tudor Revival architecture, and are occasionally referred to as "Carstenn Castles." The house is not only an individual monument but also part of a listed ensemble that includes several neighboring buildings. This ensemble underscores the historical and urban value of the entire area. Today, the building is an important example of late 19th-century architecture in Berlin and contributes to the historical identity of the Lichterfelde district.
