history
In 1841, the dyke builders bought a piece of land at the foot of the sandy Geestrücke to mine sand to repair a broken dike. This resulted in a cliff-like sand wall, in the sand martins nesting. The place was soon called Swallow Cliff. The Geestrücken was increasingly populated. In 1884 the merchant August Ferdinand Dreier (1808–1895) bought a piece of land on the hill of the Schwalbenklippe and built Haus Reebeck on it . In 1858 the retired Admiral Karl Rudolf Brommy (1804–1860) acquired a former villa Schwalbenklippe . The adjacent Swiss house also belonged to the Swallow Cliff. In 1871, Nordwolle founder Carl Lahusen acquired it from Caroline Gross, the widow of Admiral Brommy. In 1883 his brother-in-law, the Bremen merchant Julius Kulenkampff (1855–1922), bought the Villa Schwalbenklippe and in 1902 his brother, the merchant Johann Gustav Kulenkampff (1849–1921), bought the property. The old house was demolished in 1903 and the property went to his sister Emmy Johanne Kulenkampff (* 1851) in 1905.
The two-storey, plastered, differentiated villa with hipped roofs , a dominating round corner tower, several loggias , balconies and veranda was built in 1905 at the turn of the century in a country house and Art Nouveau style for Emmy Kulenkampff.
