history

The double villa was built for the client, Privy Councilor Scheidt, like numerous buildings in what was then the "Villa Colony Gronau" on the southern outskirts of Bonn, based on a design by the Bonn architect and government master builder Julius Rolffs . From 1930 to 1935 the western half-villa (Heussallee 18) was the residence of the Swiss Protestant Reformed theologian Karl Barth, who taught in Bonn, and his wife. In 1935/36, the double villa was converted into rental houses with apartments and in particular the stairwells were changed.

After Bonn became the seat of government of the Federal Republic of Germany in 1949 , the villa was located in the middle of the new parliament and government district . In 1950 there were minor modifications. By 1958 at the latest, the Republic of India established the offices of the military and naval attaché (Heussallee 20) and its cultural attaché (Heussallee 18) on the property as departments of its embassy , which were located there until at least 1960. At the beginning of the 1980s, the state of Rhineland-Palatinate acquired the double villa as the seat of its representation at the federal level (→ State Representation Rhineland-Palatinate (Bonn) ). From 1987 to 1989 a new building to the east was built for this, which was structurally connected to the villa.

In the course of the relocation of the seat of parliament and government (1999/2000), the Rhineland-Palatinate state representation moved to Berlin in 2000 . Today, the Annemarie Schimmel College of the University of Bonn is located in the villa , which is dedicated to the history and society of the Mamluk era and was founded by the German Research Foundation .
