The house of the philosopher Byung-Chul Han

Located in the northwest of Berlin, between the Spandauer Forst and Lake Tegel, this house owes its uniqueness to its owner. One of the most famous philosophers of our time, the Korean Byung-Chul Han, resides here. And it is within the walls of this property and in his garden, to which he has dedicated infinite hours of care, where he wrote his books, which have become in world best sellers (The Spirit of Hope, The Fatigue Society…). For health reasons, Han is unable to take care of the house, which was built in 1938 and renovated in 2000 and houses five bedrooms. The plot features a garden, a pond surrounded by hydrangeas and a small garden of Japanese rocks. An important element of this house is the Fazioli grand piano on which this thinker played so many times to masters such as Bach and Schumann and which now also is looking for a new owner.Location: BerlinSurface: plot of 700 square meters and 140 builtCondition: good.Price: 850,000 eurosContact: bchan@posteo.de
