The Villa Vogelsang is a villa on the Ruhr Heights in thedistrict Horstin Essen.
The entrepreneur Friedrich Ludwig Niemann had the villa built in 1840 after plans by Karl Friedrich Schinkels. He sold the villa in 1870 to his proxy Heinrich Dammer, who lived there with his sister Eugenie. The villa was auctioned due to bankruptcy on the 27th of September 1910 and so went to the Essen entrepreneur Wilhelm Vogelsang (1877-1939).
