What is the History of Villa Rosa?
Villa Rosa Kempinski presidential suite price history dates back to 1839 in Germany. Then, German banker Gottfried Semper built the villa in Dresden for Martin Wilhelm Oppenheim which he called Villa Rosa. It was for his family to spend time in over the summer and it was designed by an Italian architect.
Oppenheim named the villa after his wife Rosa who died in 1849. The German oligarch later died in 1863 at the Dresden residence following a stroke attack. After the air assaults on Dresden in World War II, the villa caught fire and was destroyed in 1955. On the site now, there is a primary school. In front of the school, there is a bust of the architect Semper, and there is a plaque in the garden that is near the Elbe River that is reminiscent of the home.
How Much is Swimming at Kempinski?
