Today's house at Adenauerallee 214 (Bundeskanzlerplatz) was built in 1891/92 for the client Gustav Schwefinghaus according to plans by the architect Lemke. After 1900 it became the residence of the Baron von Salviati , chamberlain and head of the court of Prince Adolf zu Schaumburg-Lippe , who resided in the neighboring Villa Loeschigk and who also owned the house. In 1900/01 the building was lengthened towards Reuterstraße, with a connecting passage with a round stair tower. In 1906, the Prince of Schaumburg-Lippe had the house converted into a representative semi-villa by adding two more axes to Adenauerallee and redesigning the facade . In 1913 the courtyard was built over between the components on Reuterstraße and Adenauerallee.

After the Second World War , the house at Adenauerallee 214 belonged to the widow of Wilhelm von Prussia , the former Baroness Dorothea von Salviati (1907–1972), who died in the war , and was subsequently referred to as "Villa Salviati". In 1950 a part of the office for peace issues of the Federal Chancellery opposite ( Palais Schaumburg ) was housed here; In 1952, departments of the newly created Foreign Office moved in , the management of which was initially also located in the Federal Chancellery: the language service on the ground floor and the press department (3-4 employees) on the first floor. Princess Wilhelm of Prussia continued to live on the second floor with her children until she moved out of the villa in 1958 after it was sold to the federal government. In 1959 the terrace of the house on the first floor was built over. The semi-villa was entered in the monuments list of the city of Bonn on April 30, 1986. It was the seat of the Interparliamentary Working Group eV (IPA) , the IUCN Environmental Law Center (ELC) (until November 1998) and the von Institute for European Environmental Policy (IEEP) founded by the European Cultural Foundation (since January 1976).
