Adenauerallee 120/122 (Bonn)

Villa Adenauerallee 120/122 (2013)

The building Adenauerallee 120/122 is a villa in the Bonn district of Gronau , which was built in 1870. It is located on the west side of Adenauerallee ( Bundesstrasse 9 ) on the outskirts of Südstadt . The villa stands as a monument under monument protection .

history

The villa was possibly built according to plans by the Bonn city architect Paul Richard Thomann . In 1911, the government master builder Heinrich Roettgen (1863–1932) carried out a renovation for the client Carl Garrè , professor of surgery at the University of Bonn . Terraces in reinforced concrete construction , a balcony and openings in the interior were created. A building application for a greenhouse dates from 1911 and another from 1912 for garden pavilions with porticoes and gardens. In response to a building application from Ms. Garrè in 1938, the villa was converted into a single-family house (No. 120) and an apartment building (No. 122).

After Bonn became the seat of government of the Federal Republic of Germany in 1949 , the villa , which had been confiscated until the beginning of September 1949, was initially intended to accommodate parts of the Federal Chancellery . The architect Hans Schwippert was commissioned to plan the renovation . Instead, the newly created Federal Ministry for Affairs of the Federal Council set up its office in the building - now located on the edge of the new parliamentary and government district. With 8 civil servants and 18 employees at the beginning of 1950, it was the smallest federal ministry; due to its small size, it was initially able to share the villa with two tenants. The conversion costs for the conversion to the Federal Ministry totaled 56,000 DM . After the dissolution of the Federal Ministry in 1969, the property housed, among other things, Department IV of the Federal Chancellery and, until recently, the Protocol Department of the Foreign Office opposite . As a result of the relocation of the seat of government to Berlin (1999), the villa had been vacant since 2001 at the latest, until 2003, when the local project management Bonn-South of the Federal Office for Building and Regional Planning moved in there.

architecture

The villa is a three-storey, six-axis plastered building with a mezzanine (mezzanine) on a high base, which is closed at the top by a flat hipped roof. The ashlar of the ground floor as well as decorative architectural parts are made of ashlar. On the ground floor and on the second floor, the street side is drawn forward on the left outer axis and has a pillar loggia and a balcony resting on this in the remaining axes . The mezzanine floor is equipped with a frieze consisting of bas-reliefs between the windows showing putti - including one with a staff of Aesculapius in the middle . The property has a park-like garden with a coach house and a former coachman's apartment.
