Villa Hirsch: Former BND district becomes a day care center in Nuremberg!

The Villa Hirsch, a once dark chapter of the German spy history, is now becoming a happy playground for children! In Nuremberg, specifically in the St. Johannis district, this magnificent property shines under a new flag! The Munich real estate company Aventin Real Estate has the worthy building, which has many secrets, rented to the Kinderhaus Nürnberg gGmbH.

The time of the secret messages and espionage is over - now it means: playing, laughing and learning in a historical ambience! In the coming year, Villa Hirsch will open as a after -school care center for over 100 happy children. Exciting adventures, creative games and a lot of joy for the little ones should wait on three floors. But before that there is a great renovation, which is scheduled to begin at the end of this year to offer the sugar peas and robber-hotzenplotz-friends in a new splendor.

a piece of history with exciting past

But how did this change come about? The villa was built between 1913 and 1914 by the entrepreneur Angelo Hirsch, who was moving to New York with his family in 1919. During the dark years of the National Socialists, the impressive building was in their possession and served after the Second World War of the US espionage defense. It was not until the end of the 1950s that the Federal Intelligence Service took over the villa, which was a well-kept secret of the Nuremberg for decades.

But the shine of the old days faded: the building has been empty since 2013 and was waiting for a new purpose. And it seems to be found now! The sale to Aventin Real Estate last year marks the turning point for Villa at Wielandstrasse 27.

A new chapter begins

It is time to fill the walls of the former BND building with smile and joy, while children can develop in this impressive building. Historical flair meets new life dreams - a place where the future is playing!
