The \\\"Weltevreden\\\" ensemble, created by the Belgian insurance salesman Georges Fester (1879-1954), is one of the most outstanding examples of the villa and country house culture in Bergedorf. With an impressive area and elaborate construction, it was one of the largest and most important properties in the region.<\/span><\/p>

Located on the steep bank of the Bille, more precisely on the section known as the \\\"M\u00fchlenteich\\\", the property offered a spectacular view over the park. This park, designed as a geometric garden with terraces on the steep edge of the Geest, contrasted impressively with the flatter landscape garden to the south. The country house itself was placed at the top of the steep slope on a ridge, from which a majestic view of the surrounding landscape was offered.<\/p>\",\r\n \"align\": \"top\",\r\n \"row\": 1,\r\n \"col\": 3,\r\n \"colspan\": 6,\r\n \"offsetx\": 0,\r\n \"offsety\": 0,\r\n \"spaceabove\": 0,\r\n \"spacebelow\": 0,\r\n \"yvel\": 1,\r\n \"push\": 3,\r\n \"relid\": 6,\r\n \"classes\": \"buttonstyle\",\r\n \"absolute_position\": false,\r\n \"zIndex\": 1,\r\n \"dosync\": false\r\n },\r\n {\r\n \"type\": \"stack\",\r\n \"cont\": [\r\n {\r\n \"type\": \"img\",\r\n \"cont\": \"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/15.jpg\",\r\n \"align\": \"top\",\r\n \"row\": -1,\r\n \"col\": 0,\r\n \"colspan\": 4,\r\n \"offsetx\": 0,\r\n \"offsety\": 0,\r\n \"spaceabove\": 0,\r\n \"spacebelow\": 0,\r\n \"yvel\": 1,\r\n \"push\": 0,\r\n \"relid\": 44,\r\n \"attid\": 910,\r\n \"sizes\": {\r\n \"full\": \"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/15.jpg\",\r\n \"_768\": \"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/15-768x524.jpg\",\r\n \"_512\": \"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/15-512x350.jpg\",\r\n \"_265\": \"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/15-265x181.jpg\"\r\n },\r\n \"w\": 823,\r\n \"h\": 562,\r\n \"ar\": 0.6828675577156743,\r\n \"alt\": \"\",\r\n \"absolute_position\": false\r\n },\r\n {\r\n \"type\": \"text\",\r\n \"cont\": \"

Particularly impressive was the country house, which was lavishly expanded into a multi-wing building by William Rzek\u00f3nski in the 1920s.<\/span><\/span> The complex was complemented by the gatehouse and other buildings that underlined the luxurious character of the property.

During this time, the ensemble experienced a gardening boom in which the natural landscape and reformed garden art worked together harmoniously.<\/span><\/span> <\/span>This unique arrangement of the sub-rooms reflects the intensive engagement with the special natural area, which was characterized by the close collaboration between architects and garden artists.<\/span><\/span>

Another highlight of the park was the bathing garden with a swimming pool and pavilion, which was built in the 1920s. Tennis courts and bathing gardens were common in upper-class gardens before the First World War and were also introduced here, probably at the personal request of Georges Fester. Particularly noteworthy is the population of North American red oaks around the bathing garden, which only became fashionable in the 1920s and gave the garden a special atmosphere.<\/div>\",\r\n \"align\": \"middle\",\r\n \"row\": 8,\r\n \"col\": 7,\r\n \"colspan\": 4,\r\n \"offsetx\": 0,\r\n \"offsety\": 0,\r\n \"spaceabove\": 0,\r\n \"spacebelow\": 0,\r\n \"yvel\": 1,\r\n \"push\": 1,\r\n \"relid\": 5,\r\n \"absolute_position\": false,\r\n \"zIndex\": 4,\r\n \"dosync\": false\r\n },\r\n {\r\n \"type\": \"text\",\r\n \"cont\": \"

In addition to the red oaks, a remarkable variety of other tree species such as sweet chestnuts, weeping beeches, copper beeches, golden elms and silver maples can still be seen today. In the northern areas of the park, smaller stone settings, so-called \\\"rockeries\\\", were also created, which gave the landscape additional charm.<\/p>

Another expression of Fester's love of the plant world can be seen in the large number of rhododendrons, which can be found in the park in various varieties. These were procured at Fester's request by his head gardener, who sometimes used exotic trees. It is particularly noteworthy that the rhododendrons came from Anthony Waterer, a famous English breeder.<\/p>

Overall, the \\\"Weltevreden\\\" estate is an impressive example of the horticultural art and villa culture of the early 20th century. To this day, the well-preserved structures and the scenically attractive park testify to the importance of this unique ensemble.<\/p>\",\r\n \"align\": \"middle\",\r\n \"row\": 9,\r\n \"col\": 1,\r\n \"colspan\": 5,\r\n \"offsetx\": 0,\r\n \"offsety\": 0,\r\n \"spaceabove\": 0,\r\n \"spacebelow\": 0,\r\n \"yvel\": 1,\r\n \"push\": 1,\r\n \"relid\": 24,\r\n \"absolute_position\": false,\r\n \"dosync\": false\r\n },\r\n {\r\n \"type\": \"stack\",\r\n \"cont\": [\r\n {\r\n \"type\": \"img\",\r\n \"cont\": \"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/IMG-20240515-WA0008.jpg\",\r\n \"align\": \"middle\",\r\n \"row\": -1,\r\n \"col\": 0,\r\n \"colspan\": 4,\r\n \"offsetx\": 0,\r\n \"offsety\": 0,\r\n \"spaceabove\": 0,\r\n \"spacebelow\": 0,\r\n \"yvel\": 1,\r\n \"push\": 0,\r\n \"relid\": 25,\r\n \"attid\": 902,\r\n \"sizes\": {\r\n \"full\": \"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/IMG-20240515-WA0008.jpg\",\r\n \"_1024\": \"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/IMG-20240515-WA0008-1024x1442.jpg\",\r\n \"_768\": \"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/IMG-20240515-WA0008-768x1081.jpg\",\r\n \"_512\": \"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/IMG-20240515-WA0008-512x721.jpg\",\r\n \"_265\": \"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/IMG-20240515-WA0008-265x373.jpg\"\r\n },\r\n \"w\": 1123,\r\n \"h\": 1581,\r\n \"ar\": 1.4078361531611754,\r\n \"alt\": \"\",\r\n \"absolute_position\": false\r\n },\r\n {\r\n \"type\": \"text\",\r\n \"cont\": \"

The \\\"Weltevreden\\\" ensemble, created by the Belgian insurance salesman Georges Fester (1879-1954), is one of the most outstanding examples of the villa and country house culture in Bergedorf. With an impressive area and elaborate construction, it was one of the largest and most important properties in the region.<\/span><\/p>

Located on the steep bank of the Bille, more precisely on the section known as the \\\"M\u00fchlenteich\\\", the property offered a spectacular view over the park. This park, designed as a geometric garden with terraces on the steep edge of the Geest, contrasted impressively with the flatter landscape garden to the south. The country house itself was placed at the top of the steep slope on a ridge, from which a majestic view of the surrounding landscape was offered.<\/span><\/p>\",\r\n \"align\": \"top\",\r\n \"row\": 1,\r\n \"col\": 0,\r\n \"colspan\": 12,\r\n \"offsetx\": 0,\r\n \"offsety\": 0,\r\n \"spaceabove\": 0,\r\n \"spacebelow\": 0,\r\n \"yvel\": 1,\r\n \"push\": 0,\r\n \"relid\": 6,\r\n \"classes\": \"buttonstyle\",\r\n \"absolute_position\": false,\r\n \"zIndex\": 1,\r\n \"dosync\": false\r\n },\r\n {\r\n \"type\": \"stack\",\r\n \"cont\": [\r\n {\r\n \"type\": \"img\",\r\n \"cont\": \"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/15.jpg\",\r\n \"align\": \"top\",\r\n \"row\": -1,\r\n \"col\": 0,\r\n \"colspan\": 6,\r\n \"offsetx\": 0,\r\n \"offsety\": 0,\r\n \"spaceabove\": 0,\r\n \"spacebelow\": 0,\r\n \"yvel\": 1,\r\n \"push\": 0,\r\n \"relid\": 44,\r\n \"attid\": 910,\r\n \"sizes\": {\r\n \"full\": \"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/15.jpg\",\r\n \"_768\": \"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/15-768x524.jpg\",\r\n \"_512\": \"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/15-512x350.jpg\",\r\n \"_265\": \"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/15-265x181.jpg\"\r\n },\r\n \"w\": 823,\r\n \"h\": 562,\r\n \"ar\": 0.6828675577156743,\r\n \"alt\": \"\",\r\n \"absolute_position\": false\r\n },\r\n {\r\n \"type\": \"text\",\r\n \"cont\": \"

Particularly impressive was the country house, which was lavishly expanded into a multi-wing building by William Rzek\u00f3nski in the 1920s.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0The complex was complemented by the gatehouse and other buildings that underlined the luxurious character of the property.

During this time, the ensemble experienced a gardening boom in which the natural landscape and reformed garden art worked together harmoniously.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>This unique arrangement of the sub-rooms reflects the intensive engagement with the special natural area, which was characterized by the close collaboration between architects and garden artists.<\/span><\/span>

Another highlight of the park was the bathing garden with a swimming pool and pavilion, which was built in the 1920s. Tennis courts and bathing gardens were common in upper-class gardens before the First World War and were also introduced here, probably at the personal request of Georges Fester. Particularly noteworthy is the population of North American red oaks around the bathing garden, which only became fashionable in the 1920s and gave the garden a special atmosphere.<\/span><\/div>\",\r\n \"align\": \"top\",\r\n \"row\": 11,\r\n \"col\": 0,\r\n \"colspan\": 12,\r\n \"offsetx\": 0,\r\n \"offsety\": 0,\r\n \"spaceabove\": 0,\r\n \"spacebelow\": 0,\r\n \"yvel\": 1,\r\n \"push\": 0,\r\n \"relid\": 5,\r\n \"absolute_position\": false,\r\n \"zIndex\": 4,\r\n \"dosync\": false\r\n },\r\n {\r\n \"type\": \"stack\",\r\n \"cont\": [\r\n {\r\n \"type\": \"img\",\r\n \"cont\": \"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/IMG-20240515-WA0008.jpg\",\r\n \"align\": \"middle\",\r\n \"row\": -1,\r\n \"col\": 0,\r\n \"colspan\": 10,\r\n \"offsetx\": 0,\r\n \"offsety\": 0,\r\n \"spaceabove\": 0,\r\n \"spacebelow\": 0,\r\n \"yvel\": 1,\r\n \"push\": 0,\r\n \"relid\": 25,\r\n \"attid\": 902,\r\n \"sizes\": {\r\n \"full\": \"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/IMG-20240515-WA0008.jpg\",\r\n \"_1024\": \"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/IMG-20240515-WA0008-1024x1442.jpg\",\r\n \"_768\": \"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/IMG-20240515-WA0008-768x1081.jpg\",\r\n \"_512\": \"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/IMG-20240515-WA0008-512x721.jpg\",\r\n \"_265\": \"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/IMG-20240515-WA0008-265x373.jpg\"\r\n },\r\n \"w\": 1123,\r\n \"h\": 1581,\r\n \"ar\": 1.4078361531611754,\r\n \"alt\": \"\",\r\n \"absolute_position\": false\r\n },\r\n {\r\n \"type\": \"text\",\r\n \"cont\": \"

In addition to the red oaks, a remarkable variety of other tree species such as sweet chestnuts, weeping beeches, copper beeches, golden elms and silver maples can still be seen today. In the northern areas of the park, smaller stone settings, so-called \\\"rockeries\\\", were also created, which gave the landscape additional charm.<\/span><\/p>

Another expression of Fester's love of the plant world can be seen in the large number of rhododendrons, which can be found in the park in various varieties. These were procured at Fester's request by his head gardener, who sometimes used exotic trees. It is particularly noteworthy that the rhododendrons came from Anthony Waterer, a famous English breeder.<\/span><\/p>

Overall, the \\\"Weltevreden\\\" estate is an impressive example of the horticultural art and villa culture of the early 20th century.
