Villa Schönblick is a protected neo-Baroque manor house in Schönhagen, a district of Trebbin in Brandenburg, Germany. It stands with its park on a fenced hill at the end of Schönhagener Gutshof road. The house was commissioned by publisher Rudolf Mosse, who acquired the Schönhagen and Stangenhagen estate after 1897 and had the manor built in the early 1900s to plans by architect Ernst Lessing. The exact construction date is uncertain: the Brandenburg heritage database gives 1902/1910, while another source suggests probably around 1910. During the National Socialist period Mosse was dispossessed. After the Second World War, the villa was used first as a kindergarten, later as a district school for the further training of school officials, and from 1978 for housing families. After German reunification, it served from 1990 as a training center of the Brandenburg state government’s social pedagogy institution, was extensively renovated, and remained in use for training until 1997. After restitution to the Mosse family heirs, it was for sale in 2020. The two-storey, nine-axis building has a hipped mansard roof, a U-shaped ground plan, ionic columns, and a park of about 1.5 hectares with a monopteros and an ice cellar.
