The building at Merkelstraße 4 in Göttingen is today referred to as the Fridtjof Nansen House. The house was built in 1899/1900 for the cloth manufacturer Ferdinand Levin, based on designs by the Berlin architects Hans Grisebach and August Dinklage.
The villa has a floor plan of about 750 m² and comprises four floors, of which two are full floors. This results in a total usable area of 1850 m². Marble stairs lead to the entrance hall of the building. Here, particularly richly decorated columns are striking, as well as the colored glass designs created by Georg Karl Rohde from Bremen. A fireplace is flanked by lion statues that bear the old Göttingen coat of arms, a golden G. In the basement, there is a kitchen adorned with Delft tiles.
