history

The two-storey, very differentiated, plastered villa with a half-hipped roof and mansard roof , loggia , two dwelling shingle cladding on the upper floor and the garden-side veranda was built in 1903 in the shingle style of Victorian architecture for the merchant Johann Daniel Albert Kulenkampff (1853-1915) on the high bank of the Lesum built. In similar Queen Anne style architecture and has been Landhaus Wolde, Villa Schotteck designed in St. Magnus. The property was 8700 m². The client was one of the brothers (Caspar Gottlieb (1843–1884), Diedrich (1846–1921), Johannes Gustav (1849–1921), Johann Daniel Albert (1853–1915), Julius Eduard (1855–1922), Johannes Heinrich ( 1857–1926), Friedrich Hermann (1859–1930), Hermann Johannes (1863–)) Kulenkampff, who came from a very old Bremen family and some of them also had their country houses here. From 1915 until 1918 the relative, painter and graphic artist Elisabeth Noltenius lived in the house. In 1919 the house was sold by the widow Friederike Kulenkampff to Johann Heinrich Kulenkampff and his daughter Marianne (1892–1978) and her husband Otto Willich (–1961) lived here until 1921. Until 1928 the house was rented to Carl Werner Tiemann.

In 1929, architect Rudolph Leymann and garden architect Christian Roselius planned a major renovation of the now winter-proof country house for Werner Kulenkampff, Marianne's brother. He or his widow lived here until 1932, the family until 1935. The Otto and Marianne Willich family now received the house, lived there in the summer and bought around 1400 m² of space from the Schwalbenklippe house . From 1943 the family lived here all year round with interruptions (1945/46). The house was renovated in 1978/79.
It is unclear why it was named House Minimum Rommen .

Today (2018) the house is used for residential purposes.

On Lesmonastraße there are two further listed buildings: No. 3 ( Villa Trost ) and No. 66 ( House Lichtenegg ).

Wellermann and Frölich also planned the Schwalbenklippe and Stromwinkel houses in the Burglesum , which were also owned by the Kulenkampff family. The summer houses of this family were also Haus Lichtenegg , Haus Erlenried , Haus Bucheneck and Haus Dreilinden in Burglesum at the turn of the century .
