history

View of the villa group after its completion (around 1905)

The villa was built for the client Theodor Wilhelm Düren , a local building contractor , as an office building for his company based on a design by the well-known architecture firm Schreiterer & Below (Emil Schreiterer, Bernhard Below). It was divided as a group of villas into three sections that presented themselves as single-family houses , but which were internally connected from the start. The upper floor accommodated two officials' apartments. In 1921 Düren sold the property to the insurance company Halensia, which set up its headquarters there. From 1935 to 1938, the villa residence of the staff of the of Obergruppenführer Hermann Reschny led SA's Fund North West as a successor to the Austrian Legion , which was recruited from refugee to the German Reich Austrian Nazis.

Villa with extension of the embassy office (2014)

After Bonn had become the seat of government of the Federal Republic of Germany in 1949 , on April 1, 1950 , the Republic of Italy set up the offices of their legation, which had previously been temporarily housed in Sinzig , in the villa . This made it one of the first three diplomatic missions to be based in Bad Godesberg. By July 1952 at the latest, the legation was converted into an embassy . The residence, residence of the ambassador, was also in Bad Godesberg ( Rolandstrasse 43 ). The embassy was able to dispose of almost 2000  m² of usable space in the villa . In 1968 an annex was added to the rear to create additional office space. In 1990 Italy had the property completely renovated.

In the course of relocating the seat of government , the Italian embassy moved to Berlin at the beginning of August 1999 (→ Italian embassy in Berlin ). In the former office building of the embassy in Bonn, a branch office of the embassy with the military department was left until 2002. The villa then stood empty until it passed into the ownership of a local entrepreneur in 2004 and was subsequently divided into 16 apartments and converted.

A circumferential roof band marks the transition between the upper and attic storeys.
