Villa Bonn (Frankfurt am Main)
The Villa Bonn is a Wilhelminian style upper -class palace from 1897 in the Westend district of Frankfurt on the park lot Siesmayerstraße 12.
The villa was built in the years 1895–1897 for the banker Wilhelm Bernhard Bonn (born March 16, 1843 in Frankfurt am Main; † October 21, 1910 in Kronberg im Taunus), who owned a villa of the same name in Kronberg , today's Kronberg Town Hall . The architect in Frankfurt was the Berlin court architect Ernst Eberhart von Ihne , who also built Schloss Friedrichshof, today's Schlosshotel Kronberg , for Empress Friedrich , the widow of Emperor Friedrich III., In Kronberg . The three-story neoclassical building towers over the already imposing neighboring villas.
In 1923 it became the property of the Frankfurt Society for Trade, Industry and Science, founded by Karl Kotzenberg and Georg Voigt , and became a meeting place for Frankfurt and German elites from trade, business, science and culture.
After 1945, the mayor of Frankfurt, Walter Kolb, had his office in the villa for some time until the Frankfurt Römers were rebuilt .
As part of the Frankfurt house-to-house warfare, celebrities from the neighboring "Siesmayer 6" were staring at the Villa Bonn . However, it was not occupied.
There is a possibility of access for the general public in the context of concerts by the Robert Schumann Society in Frankfurt.
