Villa Pauly

57, Boulevard de la Pétrusse, in the center of Luxembourg, for the surgeon Dr. Norbert Pauly; the architect was Mathias Martin.

With its corner towers, the house mimics the castle architecture of the Late Middle Ages and the Renaissance.

During the Second World War (August 1940 – September 1944), it was used as the headquarters of the Gestapo in Luxembourg under the leadership of Wilhelm Nölle (until 8 March 1941), then Fritz Hartmann (until 9 April 1943) and latterly Dr. Walter Vollmer.

[1] During this time, according to the records at Yad Vashem,[2] the Gestapo deported some 885 Jews from Luxembourg to various Nazi Concentration Camps.

Today, it is the headquarters of the "Comité directeur pour le souvenir de la résistance" and the address of the "AMICALE L.P.L."
