    The villa at number 23 Virchowstraße was built by Mies van der Rohes in 1915-1917. It is one of three houses designed by the architect of the villa colony.
    For many years it was called "Villa Urbig", also called "Haus Seefried", after Franz Urbig, a co-owner of Deutsche Bank.
    During the Potsdam Conference, the British Prime Minister resided in this house, but only until July 26, 1945, when he traveled to England, where the results of the elections, which Churchill had lost, were announced. Source: Jana Jalinowski: Country Houses & Villas Neubabelsberg

    The building was originally intended to have a flat roof as a sign of progress and modernity. That's what the famous architect wanted, but the client thought conservatively and got his way.
