Villa Under the Elms 96 (2011)

The building Unter den Ulmen 96 (also called Palestine House) is a villa in the Marienburg district of Cologne , which was built in 1906/07 and belongs to the Cologne-Marienburg villa colony . It is located on the corner of the Bayenthalgürtel ( Kreisstraße 12) on the northern edge of the district. The villa stands as a monument under monument protection .

history

The villa was built for the client Ludwig Schneller , a Protestant pastor and theologian , like the Villa Bayenthalgürtel 15 opposite, based on a design by the architect Eugen Fabricius . Since Schneller was chairman of the Evangelical Association for the Syrian Orphanage in Jerusalem , its headquarters were set up in part of the house.

After Bonn became the seat of government of the Federal Republic of Germany in 1949, the villa served as the chancellery of the embassy of the Kingdom of Sweden from December 1949 at the latest, the time of the first accreditation (→ list of diplomatic missions ). The ambassador's residence was in the building Ulmenallee 152. In 1956 the Swedish embassy was converted into an embassy , which was based at this location with its consular department at least until 1957 and later moved to Bonn. In 1964/65 an extension was built as an office building (Ulmenallee 98), which was subsequently increased.

The villa was entered in the city ​​of Cologne's list of monuments on March 1, 1982.

architecture

The villa is arranged diagonally between the street Unter den Ulmen and the Bayenthalgürtel in order to emphasize the entrance to the Marienburg villa colony . It is zweieinhalbgeschossig over a as a basement serving basement and three axis in a prominent central axis and has a mansard roof . The plinth made of brick merges into a plastered facade . Each side of the building is closed off by a Söller . Stylistically and in terms of architectural history , the villa can be attributed to reform architecture of German character, which here draws on a rural design language borrowed from the southern German Baroque .
