Our Salon Format invites you to a special concert evening in the Villa Schöningen café.

Carla Lené (formerly Marlene Carla Hoffmann) studied classical singing but found her passion in jazz. With her warm voice and cross-genre style, she interprets jazz standards and her own songs. Together with Tom Sehrer (piano), David Millian (drums) and Paul Polster (bass), she creates unconventional arrangements characterized by lyrical intensity, rousing grooves and multi-faceted melodies.

At the same time, Villa Schöningen is presenting the exhibition “Stoff. Textiles and the Female Nude”, which sheds light on the relationship between textiles and the female body in art – with 43 works ranging from 17th century masterpieces to contemporary positions.

Villa Schlieffen will be open for tours again on Sunday, February 16, at 11 am. A wonderful opportunity to explore this historic site free of charge and learn more about its fascinating past.

The villa has been open to visitors again since 2023 and is presented in the condition in which it was left after the withdrawal of the Soviet military.

The impressive work “Sanctus” by Barbara Hammer, which is part of the Döpfner Collection, is also currently on display.

You are welcome to register for a free viewing via info@villa-schoeningen.de.

We are delighted to invite you to the reading “Good Morning Lehnitz” on February 21 at 7 PM at Villa Schöningen!

Potsdam author Christine Anlauff will read from her autobiographically inspired novel Good Morning Lehnitz, which sheds light on the challenges and hopes of young people during the time of reunification. She will also share insights from her work Frühlingsschimmern, set in Potsdam before the fall of the Berlin Wall.

The event is part of the series Interventions: 35 Years of the Fall of the Wall at Villa Schöningen. This series connects art, history, and the culture of remembrance at one of the most significant historical sites of German division. Located directly at the Glienicke Bridge, the villa was a key site for Cold War spy exchanges and a symbol of Germany’s division. Today, it serves as a space for art and reflection on these historical events.

Admission to all events is €10 (reduced €8) and includes access to the current exhibition Fabric: Textiles and the Female Nude at Villa Schöningen. As the number of participants is limited, we kindly ask you to register in advance at info@villa-schoeningen.de.
