The two villas were built for the builders Eduard Meyer (No. 49) and Otto Blumenfeld (No. 51), both members of the board of Hornimport AG , which was also based in Marienburg at the time, based on a design by the architect Georg Falck . Falck's construction company, Rheinische Bauunternehmung GmbH , was responsible for the execution . The villa group was part of an overall plan that also included the villa at Rondorfer Strasse 5, which is adjacent to the south-west and is also built for a board member of Hornimport AG. A plan to convert house no. 51 into an apartment building is known from 1933 (architect: Robert Stern). After 1933 there were various parcels of parcels that impaired the original villa ensemble.
