history

The villa was built between March 1925 and February 1926 according to plans by the architect Stefan Wollmann for Christian Beck. In 1938 the property was Aryanized and subsequently property of the German Reich ("Reichsfiskus Luftfahrt"), so that from then on it served as an office building. After the Second World War , it was confiscated by the American occupying forces , which they made available to the Episcopal Synod of the Russian Orthodox Church abroad by November 1945 at the latest . Until 1952 it served as an administrative building - intended as the residence of the Synod and the Metropolitan - as well as a parish hall including a house church , primarily for displaced persons from the Soviet Union.

From July 1, 1952, the Austrian liaison office in the American zone of occupation , based in Munich , rented the property from the Federal Finance Administration (Bundes Vermögensstelle München-Stadt) in order to use it as the official building and residence of the chief executive. In February 1956 the liaison office was converted into an Austrian consulate general . On January 14, 1972, the Republic of Austria acquired the 2.250 m² property from the Federal Republic of Germany (Federal Finance Administration) for 1.29 million DM. In 1974 the office of the Consulate General was relocated to a separate location in the Bogenhausen district; Villa Donaustraße 5 remained the residence of the Consul General.

The property is currently being used privately again.
