Villa Bogensee (German: Waldhof am Bogensee) is a residential building located by Lake Bogensee, near the town of Wandlitz, Germany, some 40 kilometres (25 mi) north of Berlin. It was constructed in 1939 as a country retreat for Joseph Goebbels. He entertained family as well as political connections there, and reputedly used it as a 'love nest' with his mistresses. The c. 1,600 square metres (17,000 sq ft), 70-room building is situated on a 17 hectares (42 acres) plot which was gifted to Goebbels by the City of Berlin in 1936. Berlin city council has attempted unsuccessfully to give away the building for free to anyone prepared to take on its restoration and upkeep, to avoid having to demolish it, at an estimated cost of EUR 50 million. It is costing the council c. EUR 280,000 in annual maintenance costs. The council will vet interested parties, however, to prevent the property ending up in the hands of right wing groups. In early 2024, fake news appeared on social media falsely claiming that the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, had acquired the building.

The oval-shaped lake, a relic of the last ice age, is located on the Barnim Plateau and part of the Barnim Nature Park. It covers an area of approximately 9,200 m2 (99,000 sq ft), and is 180 m (590 ft) in width (west to east) and 300 m (980 ft) in length (south to north). The maximum depth is given as 2.5 m (8.2 ft). The surrounding estates of Lanke manor were acquired by the City of Berlin in 1919. There are no buildings, paths or beaches directly on the banks of the lake. Bogensee is known for the nearby former summer retreat of Nazi minister Joseph Goebbels, located approximately 500 m (1,600 ft) northwest of the shore. The premises were dedicated to Goebbels by the Berlin city administration on the occasion of his 39th birthday in 1936; he had an extended country home erected at the site until 1939, including a private cinema, a bunker, and adjacent SS barracks. Co-financed by the UFA film company, the building became a popular venue for movie actors like Zarah Leander, Emil Jannings and Heinz Rühmann. Temporarily seized by the Soviet Military Administration after World War II, the former country house was included into the newly established academy of the East German Free German Youth (FDJ) association. A wide building complex was erected from 1951 onwards, according to plans designed by Hermann Henselmann in a Stalinist style. Since German reunification in 1990, most of the buildings have been empty. As of 2018, the property had remained unoccupied for two decades.
