history
The villa was built in the first half of the 19th century in the south of Königswinter's old town between Hauptstrasse and Rheinallee, although neither the exact year of construction nor the client and the architect are known. In the time of National Socialism (1933-1945) the German Labor Front (DAF), whose sub-organization Kraft durch Freude (KDF) organized a large part of the tourism in Königswinter, planned to build a large rest home instead of the existing buildings in the southern part of the city. The provincial curator of the Rhine Province at the time appealed against the demolition of the villa and the associated porter's house in 1937, because he found them to be artistically valuable. The DAF was therefore obliged to relocate both buildings - to demolish them and then rebuild them at another location.
The DAF had the villa rebuilt for the widow of the Hagen factory owner Emil Hoesch (1859–1928) on the bank of the Rhine opposite Königswinter in Mehlem. The relocation was managed by the Königswinter architect Franz Josef Krings , who also acted as trustee for the DAF. On March 3, 1937, he submitted a building application to the Godesberg local police authority for the construction of a new residential building with a gatehouse. Due to the fact that the building was supposed to be 33 m too far from the Rhine, an exemption from the district president was required, which was granted on August 18, 1937. At this point, construction had already started; the shell acceptance was carried out on November 23, 1937 and the use acceptance on December 15, 1938. In the course of the relocation, the porter's house experienced some changes, which were made in consultation with the provincial curator.
One of the subsequent owners of the property was Hans-Jürgen Möller , 1988–1994 professor of psychiatry at the University of Bonn . It is the only one of the villas on the banks of the Rhine in Bonn that was not originally built at its current location.
