history

Draft, elevation of the Rhine front (1906)

The villa was created according to a design by the Bonn architect and government master builder Julius Rolffs , as the first project in what was then the "Villa Colony Gronau" on Drachenfelsstrasse on the southern outskirts of Bonn. Due to a delay in the development of the site, the originally planned builder for the southern half-villa (today No. 6) withdrew, the realization of which was therefore initially postponed. Josef Lürken acted as the builder of the northern half-villa (today No. 4), who also intended to run his practice there as a doctor . In response to the building application from July 1906 , the building permit was granted in September after special permits had been issued. In the same month, Lürken also commissioned the other half of the house, thus becoming the sole builder of the double villa. The structural acceptance of both semi -villas was carried out in March and April 1907, after requests for supplements that had been necessary in the meantime, the building was accepted for use in November 1907.

In 1927, the northern half-villa became the property of the manufacturer Michael DuMont, who had a garage added that year . In 1937, Hermann Terhaar, presumably owner of the worsted weaving mill in Münster West / Westf. and London West to convert the southern semi-villa belonging to him into a three-story residential building . Due to the sale of the semi-villa, these plans were not carried out, not even under the subsequent owner, the architect Karl Oldag. He also submitted the corresponding building plans in April 1939, but sold the semi-villa by August to the director G. Leyensiefen from Troisdorf , to whom the building permit for the conversion into an apartment building was transferred.

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 1953 the Republic of Indonesia set up the office of its embassy (including consular department ) in the northern half-villa . By December 1970, the half-villa used as an embassy became the property of the Federal Republic of Germany, which commissioned the local financial construction office to carry out a renovation. In 1980 the Indonesian embassy moved within Bonn (→ Embassy of the Republic of Indonesia (Bonn) ). In 1981, the country earned Hessen the entire double Villa by exchange of land by the federal government and moved there until 1983 so far in the district Kessenich housed its offices based in the neighboring Villa Kurt-Schumacher-Straße 8 Representation . In the course of the relocation of the seat of parliament and government (1999/2000) the Hessian state representation moved to Berlin, the previous office building was still used by it until it was sold in October 2000. Since then, the villa has been home to private companies, currently in particular medical practices.
