The villa is located outside the closed village in the south of Niederdollendorf on the west side of the main road leading south to Königswinter, just under 150 m east of the banks of the Rhine. A partly densely overgrown park connects the property with the banks of the Rhine.

history

The villa was built around 1878 as a late classicist country house . In 1898, the merchant and politician acquired Ernst von Eynern of Barmen , the previously four years reindeer had become the property with a 26,000-square-foot, and then still to the Rhine reaching land for 80,000 marks . Under von Eynern the house was named "Villa Rheinau". After his death in 1906, his son Max von Eynern, a two- to three-time millionaire , took over the inheritance. He used the villa as a summer house. At the beginning of the 20th century it was expanded to include pavilion-like additions.

The von Eynern family still owned the property until 1953, when they sold it to the Lemmerz family as the owners of the nearby rim factory of the same name . After 1957, she had it converted into individual apartments for executive employees of the company. During the construction of the new Lemmerz factory buildings, the excavated material raised the park area surrounding the villa so that it maintained its ground level.

The 1993 Rhine flood left severe damage to the building, which was subsequently vacant and left to decay. The Lemmerz family sold the Villa Rheinau in 1997 together with the neighboring "Haus Rheinau" (Hauptstrasse 200) to a construction company . In 2001 the grandson of the last owner from the von Eynern family bought the property, which now encompasses around 2,000 m² of land, and had it renovated.
