    Around 1819 the Lord Mayor of Trier Wilhelm von Haw bought the land on which he had his private villa built in 1823. This also included the so-called Mergener Grünhäuschen. This small estate originally belonged to the St. Marien monastery and was replaced in 1829 by the Drachenhaus, which was to serve as an economic building for the Villa Weißhaus. The dragon house is located about 500 meters northwest of the villa on the site of the former rose garden.

    The dragon house is named after the two copper dragons that are mounted on its corner projections. However, these dragons, which originally served as gargoyles in a Trier town house on Simeonstrasse, were not on the dragon house from the start, but were added a few years later.

      Beautiful park, further above is a game-free enclosure. Access to the university campus.
