The building contractor was the municipal councilor Franz Rothe, who ran a coal and building materials trade full-time and also had his own shipping company. Rothe had the neighboring villa Zinzendorfstrasse 8 built in 1883/84, and at the turn of the century he had a rental villa built on the neighboring property no. In 1915 the numbers 8 and 15 were sold, the number 13 belonged to the widow Sidonie Rothe.
