The building at Am Südpark 47 is a villa in the Marienburg district of Cologne , which was built between 1921 and 1924. It belongs to the villa colony Cologne-Marienburg and stands as a monument under monument protection . The villa is directly opposite the south park .

history

The villa was built for the builder Paul Seligmann , a banker, based on a design by the Munich architect, interior artist, painter, graphic artist and craftsman Ferdinand Goetz (1874 – around 1942), who was friends with the family. The execution was in the hands of the Cologne architect and building contractor Karl Alsdorff (1866–1924). As a garden architect, Fritz Encke worked , after Wolfram Hagspiel his “most elaborate and most beautiful private garden”.

After Bonn in 1949 the seat of government had become the Federal Republic of Germany, the villa served later than in December 1949, the date of initial accreditation in the Allied High Commission , the residence of the ambassador (later ambassador ) of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg . In 1954, Luxembourg acquired the property. It was the residence of the Luxembourg ambassador until the seat of government was moved to Berlin in 1999.

The entry of the villa in the monuments list of the city of Cologne took place on June 18, 1991. More recently (as of 2007) the villa has been renovated and partially reconstructed under the direction of the architect Herbert Selldorf, a son of Paul Seligmann.

architecture

The villa is single-storey (with an extended attic), has a broad appearance and has a slate-covered hipped roof with a centrally arranged gable as part of a dwelling (street and garden front). The facade elements are taken from the design idiom of mansions in central and northern Germany from around 1800; their structure can be described as axial . The garden of the property includes a garden house with a bell roof . The changes to the original building include the removal of the windows grouped around the portal and a conversion of the dormer roofs next to the dwelling .
