Mönkemöllerstrasse 37
The building at Mönkemöllerstraße 37 (also Villa Mönkemöller ) is a palace- like villa in the Bonn district of Dottendorf , which was built in 1904. It is located at the upper end of the district on the edge of the forest on the slopes of the Venusberg . The villa stands as a monument under monument protection .
history
The villa was built for the client Friedrich Paul Mönkemöller (1865–1935), who had been running the “Bonner Maschinenfabrik und Eisengiesserei Fr. Mönkemöller & Cie.” In Dottendorf since the end of the 19th century, based on a design by the architect Heinrich Krämer. The client named it "Villa Maria", referring to the street name Marienstraße at the time . From 1909 to 1912 the neurologist Hans Kurella lived in the house, while Mönkemöller himself lived temporarily in the Bonn district of Gronau . After Mönkemöller's death in 1935, the property initially remained in family ownership before a change of ownership took place. On April 1, 1973, it became the seat of the Bulgarian commercial agency in the Federal Republic of Germany, which was previously located in Frankfurt am Main, and after the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries at the end of 1973, it also became the seat of the state's embassy at the seat of government in Bonn - thus the villa was the first location of the Bulgarian Embassy in the Federal Republic of Germany. After the completion of a new embassy building in Bad Godesberg at the end of the 1970s, the Bulgarian embassy including the commercial agency moved out of the villa.
After the Bulgarian embassy moved out, condominiums were set up in parts of the house under new owners . The villa was entered in the list of monuments of the city of Bonn in 1984. In 1986, a building management company from Kerpen acquired the property, but failed to sell the apartments on. From 1988, after the renovation, the villa served as an office as the headquarters of the Bundeswehr Social Welfare Service , which was located there until 1998. It then went into private ownership and was converted again for residential use in 1999 and at the same time restored with the aim of restoring the original state. An elevator that reached to the sixth floor was also built.
architecture
The villa is built with up to six storeys on a complex floor plan and can be stylistically assigned to historicism , which makes use of half-timbered elements and loggias . Facilities include the interior terrazzo floors and stucco borders and outside stucco rosettes . The library has a particularly artistically designed ceiling with stucco in various shades of brown with painted grain and square images of animals, grotesques and still lifes on the corners of the room. On the corner facing the former Mönkemöller factory, two life-size terracotta statues, which are supposed to represent iron founders, are mounted on consoles as sculptural jewelry .
