\nThe welcoming remarks and introduction to the program were held in the villa's "heart"\u2014the semicircular portico with its tuff stone columns facing the lake\u2014while the approximately 60 guests sat on benches in the garden below, maintaining a safe distance. Following the welcome addresses by the foundation's chairman, Heinz Blumensath, and the educational center's management team, Dr. Roman Fr\u00f6hlich and Christiane Roos, the former director of the wannseeFORUM, Gabriele Naundorf, focused her presentation on the history of the banker Carl Joerger and his family.<\/p>\n![\"IMG_2480\"](\"https:\/\/wannseeforum.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_2480.jpeg\" "\\"IMG_2480\\"")

It was an upper-middle-class family who \u2013 despite the anti-Semitic currents that flared up again at the end of the 19th century \u2013 quite naturally commissioned the Jewish architects Breslauer and Salinger to build their summer house in 1906.
In her presentation, Ms. Naundorf highlighted several architectural elements of this "outstanding example of high-quality country house architecture" (as stated when the "Joerger Bankers' Villa Ensemble" was listed as a historical monument in 1995). She was also responsible for initiating and overseeing the historically accurate restoration of the ensemble starting in 2004. Visitors were then able to take a closer look in small groups through guided tours.<\/p>\n![\"Saxophonquartetts](\"https:\/\/wannseeforum.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_2621.jpeg\" "\\"Saxophone")

It was fortunate that we were able to combine this afternoon of visiting monuments with a concert by the saxophone quartet "D\u00fcsenfischers Handarbeitszirkel".
The sun was shining, the lake was sparkling, the Bankiersvilla Joerger ensemble was at its best, the concert also created a connection to the cultural education of the foundation \u2013 it was simply wonderful.
\u201eThink_monument sustainably\u201c was the motto of this year\u2019s Open Monument Day. It perfectly captures the essence of the wannseeFORUM Foundation\u2019s mission \u2013 because what could be more sustainable than continuous youth education! The fact that this work takes place in such a location allows young people from diverse backgrounds to experience not only a wealth of political and cultural content, but also \u201ebeauty\u201c \u2013 an architectural masterpiece in a meticulously designed park.\u00a0<\/p>
