Villa Ehinger (Münchenstein)

The Villa Ehinger is in the Neue Welt, a sub-district of Münchenstein, in the canton of Basel-Country in Switzerland.

The geographical area called the Neue Welt (new world) evolved as the industry started establishing itself around the upper end of the "St. Alban-Teich".

The technical administration was taken on by his son Ludwig August Sarasin (1804–31), who sought for his new residence to be built nearby.

The family Ehinger sold the entire estate including the villa and its grounds to the municipality (Gemeinde) Münchenstein in 1959.

Special attention was given to ensure that each separate room was given a new function, without changing its individuality within the historical building.

Built onto the eastern side of the villa (facing towards the park) there is also a two-storey Loggia, but this is somewhat narrower.

Not only Berri's stucco ceilings, but also the neo-classical white stove on the first floor and the original drawings of the Portico remain conserved.
