history

The villa was built for Henriqueta Lion, from Petrópolis originating wife of a client occurring Brazilian consul , as several buildings previously at the former Drachenfelsstraße in the "villa colony Gronau" according to a draft of the Bonn architects and government architect Julius Rolffs . The execution was in the hands of Rolffs' co-worker Ernst Sagebiel , who had been hired specifically for this project. In response to the building application from the end of January 1922, the building permit was granted in spring , and the villa, which was already fully furnished at the time of handover, was completed by the summer of 1923. Originally, apart from a garden pavilion, it also included several garages, a chauffeur's house , a dog kennel and a poultry house .

After Bonn had become 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 . It was the country North Rhine-Westphalia rented and initially the SPD -Abgeordneten Carlo Schmid then provisionally including Secretariat, part of the country representative of Bavaria provided. From September 1949 to May 1950, the property was the seat of the newly founded Press and Information Office of the Federal Government , the chief of duty was based with his offices in the basement. At the beginning of February 1951, the Austrian liaison office in the Federal Republic of Germany, which had the character of a diplomatic mission, moved into the property. The five-room ground floor housed the office and the representative rooms of the liaison office, half of the first floor with three rooms housed the office manager's residence and the second floor housed the apartment of the press officer ( Alfred Missong ). The remaining rooms of the house were still occupied by three tenants, so that the accommodation of the connection point was felt to be clearly too cramped and inadequate. Therefore, the office moved out of the building at the beginning of 1954, and so did the head of the office by the end of the year (→ Embassy of the Republic of Austria (Bonn) ). By 1961 at the latest, the Republic of Egypt established the residence of its embassy , the residence of the ambassador, in the villa . In 1999 the embassy moved in the course of relocating the seat of government to Berlin (→ Egyptian embassy in Berlin ). The villa was the closest location to the seat of Parliament for a diplomatic mission in Bonn.

At the end of 2001, the Bonn entrepreneur Marc Asbeck acquired the property with its approximately 4000 m² property from Egypt for four million Deutschmarks . He then had it extensively renovated with the aim of leasing it as an office building under the direction of the Cologne architect Heribert Wiesemann at a cost of three million D-Marks. Belonging to the villa, located in the park at the Heinrich-Brüning-Straße and finally dilapidated shed (Heinrich-Brüning-Straße 15) was demolished, built in their place using the ground floor, a new office building. Today the villa serves as the headquarters of the Max Planck Institute for research on common goods .

The villa was entered in the city ​​of Bonn's list of monuments at the beginning of 2002.
