Villa Brehme is a distinguished historic landmark dating from 1897 with major extensions completed between 1910 and 1915. Located on an elevated hillside at the edge of the city forest, the villa offers exceptional views across the city of Gera while providing direct access to nature and recreational areas.

The estate dates back to the 12th century and was originally built as a fortified castle in the former Duchy of Saxe-Altenburg. The tower was demolished in 1972 and the gate in 1947, resulting in the loss of valuable Renaissance features. However, historical documents still exist, which could be very useful for any future restoration.
