Formerly the property of Hans Helmut Wundsch who was director of the Prussian State Institute for Fisheries in Berlin from 1925 until 1937. In 1937, for political reasons, the Nazi regime removed him from office and forced him to retire. After the war, it was also thanks to his commitment that fisheries research was rebuilt in Berlin. From 1947 he took over the management of the completely destroyed institute at the Müggelsee, which he headed from 1952 as "Institute for Fisheries of the German Academy of Agricultural Sciences" until his retirement in 1958.
