Villa Prym in Konstanz can host seminars, workshops, receptions and weddings for groups of up to 50 people in its main hall, with two smaller rooms and a lake-view terrace alongside. The villa stands at Seestraße 33 in the Petershausen district, near Lake Constance. It is rented by individual quote, not by the hour, so the price depends on the rooms, the date and the extras you choose.
Seminars and company events
The villa presents itself as a place to work, learn and exchange ideas. The official site lists corporate events, seminars and conferences, as well as courses, readings and exhibitions. Two rooms suit working formats. Raum Gustav (28.49 m²) is described as a meeting room for group work, coaching or breakout sessions. Raum Eclair (18.24 m²) works as a quiet office, retreat or preparation room, for example for speakers or a facilitation team.
Equipment can be added to a booking: a projector and screen, WLAN and high-speed WLAN, an LED screen (86 x 96 inches) with a sound system, flipcharts, pinboards, whiteboards and a moderation case. Extra tables, standing tables and coat racks are also on offer, and the villa provides technical and event support on site. A plenary in the main hall with breakouts in the two small rooms is the layout the room list points to.
Weddings and receptions
Civil ceremonies (Trauungen) and receptions are among the events the villa hosts. The first-floor main hall and the terrace, which looks over the lake, are the settings you would use for a ceremony followed by a reception. The villa also offers add-on packages that can be booked with a rental. The official site does not describe their content, so ask what is included before you plan the day.
Rooms and capacities
The Großer Saal Seeblick is the main hall on the first floor. It measures about 90 m² and seats up to 50 people, depending on the layout and the format of the event. It can be split into two parts, Seeblick 1 and Seeblick 2, which can be used separately or together. The terrace measures about 57 m². The site gives no capacity for the terrace or for the two smaller rooms, so confirm numbers for a standing reception before you commit.
History and setting
The Konstanz architecture firm Jung & Martin built the villa in 1876 and 1877 for a private citizen, Gustav Hammer. It stood in an area of orchards and vineyard houses that became the Petershausen villa district. Gustav Prym bought the property in 1897 and had it modernized, which is why it is still called Villa Prym. The family kept the house until 1955, when the City of Konstanz took it over. The building mixes neo-Renaissance and Art Nouveau elements, and original wall paintings survive despite later alterations. The garden covers about 1.3 hectares.
Getting there
Two parking spaces are available directly at the villa, with public parking nearby. The first-floor event area is not currently accessible without steps, so any guest who needs support should be mentioned to the villa in advance. The official site does not describe accommodation or catering, so plan hotels and a caterer separately and check with the villa which suppliers it accepts.
