At the beginning, there was the purchase of the old Art Nouveau villa, and it's renovation required the full strength of the house owner. First, Dr. Folkhard Maas-Inderwiesen spent his time with the interior fittings of the building, alongside with his job in the vet clinic that he shares with his wife.

Around the villa, there was a huge garden site of 2,500 square meters, which had not been cultivated for many years. The couple, Dr. Folkhard Maas-Inderwiesen and Dr. Sylvia Inderwiesen, who were already interested in gardening, sensed how Art Nouveau gardens may have looked like at the turn of the century.

As soon as their time allowed, they started planning, arranging and putting things into practice. With his own hands, Dr. Folkhard Maas-Inderwiesen built dry stone walls, pavilions, water basins, fountains, pergolas, lawn seats and planting tubs. The floral emphasis is on rhododendron and old roses.

Since 2004, the garden has been open on one Sunday in June during the rose-blooming season.
