history

The villa was built as the home of the entrepreneur Wilhelm Joseph Peters (1867–1950), partner in the bleaching and finishing company WJ Peters & Cie. GmbH. With the establishment of diplomatic relations between the Federal Republic of Germany and Iran , the villa became the seat of the newly opened Iranian embassy (including consular department ) at the government seat of Bonn (→ Iranian Embassy (Bonn) ) in 1952 . After the chancellery of the embassy had already moved its seat within Rodenkirchen to Hebbelstrasse 6 by 1954, the villa initially remained the residence of the embassy (from June 1955 embassy ) and thus the residence of the Iranian envoy or ambassador. This function was held at the time by Khalil Esfandiary Bakhtiary , who received his daughter Soraya Esfandiary Bakhtiary and her husband Mohammad Reza Pahlavi , the Shah of Persia, here in 1955 .

After the residency was abandoned by Iran, the villa became the seat of the "German Institute for the Promotion of Young Industrial Managers (DIF)" founded in 1955, which was established here from the late 1960s, from 1973 under the name "German Association for the Promotion of Further Education Leaders eV (Wuppertaler Kreis) ”, until the beginning of the 1980s. The villa was entered in the city ​​of Cologne's list of monuments on January 9, 1990.
