history

Draft, elevation of the Rhine front (1901)

The villa was built for the client Christian Bungarten according to a design by the Cologne architect Franz Brantzky ( execution : Willy Bungarten) in a row with the villa Schumm adjoining to the south . Its construction was preceded by two discarded plans (except for the floor plan), stylistically attributed to the late picturequen renaissance and the picturequen baroque - the ultimately realized design of the Art Nouveau and the New Objectivity . The construction records begin in December 1898, the first excavation and masonry work began in February and March 1901. The building permit , which had meanwhile expired due to the revision of the plans , could be obtained in August 1901. The villa had been completed by the time it was approved for use in March 1903. In 1905 it was closed with a decorative grille to the newly created private access road by Bungarten.

In 1914, the villa became the property of ophthalmologist and professor Hermann Kuhnt . From this year plans based on a design by the Bonn architect and government master builder Heinrich Roettgen are known for a conversion with the aim of removing the Art Nouveau elements, the implementation of which was probably prevented by the First World War . Under a new owner, the farmer W. Albermann, plans to change the facade were resumed in 1940/41 . They were initially only partially realized - based on a design by the architect Toni Kleefisch (1888–1975) employed by Jakob Stumpf's Bonn architecture firm - and the second floor was also expanded to create an independent apartment. In 1948, the architecture firm Stumpf made up on the change to the facade, a little different from Kleefisch's plans.

In 1949 the villa, now located north of the new parliament and government district, became the property of the Federal Republic of Germany together with neighboring buildings. It was one of the properties owned by the Federal Foreign Office , which moved into a new office building immediately south in 1955 . In the mid-1980s, the villa was to give way to a 400 m long new building for the Foreign Office, but its implementation was dropped. After the ministry moved in the course of relocating the seat of government to Berlin (1999), the federal government sold the villa. In 2005/06 it was renovated and divided into condominiums , with a staircase made of glass and steel as a connection to the neighboring building to the south .

The villa was entered in the city ​​of Bonn's list of monuments at the end of 1987.
