history

Draft, elevation of the Rhine front (1910)

The villa was built in 1909/10 as a country house for the client Hauptmann a. D. von Meier based on a design by the Godesberg architect Willy Maß . It was built in solid construction, using bricks as building material . Stylistically , the villa can be attributed to the late Art Nouveau style with elements of reform architecture .

The planning application and subsequent planning permission in November / December 1909 was followed in July 1910, the shell decrease and in February 1911, the final acceptance . During the construction phase, the plans underwent multiple and extensive changes. For the construction of a pavilion on the ramparts above the Rhine promenade was for deviation from the building line a waiver required. After completion of the shell, a staircase to the bank of the Rhine, a greenhouse (iron-glass construction) and a terrace (open and covered) with a fountain and a column-supported Söller were added.

After Bonn became the seat of government of the Federal Republic of Germany in 1949 , the property became the property of the federal government until 1950. Since then, it has served as the service villa of the Bundestag President , who moved into it in the person of the first official Erich Köhler after the renovations. In 1962, the greenhouse was demolished for the construction of a garage with a guard room and lounge. After the German Bundestag moved to Berlin in 1999, the villa was privately owned until 2002.
