history

The simple hipped roof building was built in 1874 by the architect Josef Wolf in the Biedermeier style as a residential building. The villa was on a dirt road far from the gates of Munich. It was only shortly before the First World War that it was connected to the Munich road network with the construction of Hansastrasse.

In 1890 a restaurant opened in the villa and the building was given its current name. The restaurant was taken over in 1900 by the Hagmaier family, who expanded it with a beer garden and bowling alley. The place quickly developed into a popular excursion destination for Munich's citizens. In particular, events of the Munich SPD took place every Sunday . This tradition was forcibly ended in 1934 by the SA . In 1937 the owners of the restaurant were expropriated and the villa came into the possession of the city of Munich.

After the end of the Second World War , the building housed a building yard and later a dormitory. From the 1970s it was empty and deteriorated. It was not until 1996/1997 that the villa was completely renovated. Since the 1970s it has consisted of two buildings, the old villa and a half-sunken extension. The various parts of the building have been used as an event location since January 2017.
