Schoeler Castle

The origins of the Schoeler Schlösschen can be traced back to 1752/1753, when the then pastor of Wilmersdorf, Samuel Gottlieb Fuhrmann, received a plot of land with the condition that he build a single-story half-timbered house there and plant mulberry trees for silkworm breeding. The property changed hands several times in the following years. Between 1765 and 1766, it underwent extensive renovation into a Baroque country house, with an additional floor added, outbuildings constructed, and a large garden laid out. In 1893, the renowned Berlin ophthalmologist Heinrich Schoeler acquired the house, living there until his death in 1918 and giving the small palace its current name.
