The Villa Hoeller is a villa in the Bonn district of Bonn-Castell , which was built between 1898 and 1900. It is located on the towpath above the banks of the Rhine in the street Am Schänzchen (house number 12). The villa stands as a monument under monument protection .
history
The actual construction of the villa for the client Carl Hoeller, a manufacturer, based on plans by the Bonn architect Hermann Schmitt , was preceded by the construction of a garden house on the border with the towpath and a garden wall at the end of 1897 . In May 1898, after a special permit, the building application for the villa and an associated porter's house was submitted, in July 1898 the building permit was granted . In December 1898 the building shell could be removed , in May 1900 it was completed. Stylistically , the asymmetrically constructed villa can be attributed to the pictureque and abstract Baroque , it is the northernmost of the villas built on the banks of the Rhine in Bonn. The garden house ("pavilion") was structurally connected to the villa when it was built; in 1910 it was rebuilt with the aim of aligning the height of the ceiling and floor . In 1914, Hoeller had an extension built on the north side to accommodate the kitchen , pantry and closet .
“The asymmetrical, painterly disposition is also aimed at, where the terrain allows, such as at Villa Hoeller (...). The already existing garden pavilion was included in the planning as an asymmetrical accent and the villa was built on an asymmetrical floor plan with a very plastic and figurative decor. "
In 1932 the villa was given a terrace on the Rhine side , after Hoeller's death in 1934, his heirs were followed by further construction work to build a garage and a swimming pool. The villa suffered considerable damage in the Second World War , and the subsequent reconstruction was completed by 1948 (ground floor) and 1952 (upper floors). Immediately afterwards, roof extensions were carried out. In 1964 the building was passed into the ownership of VEBA AG , which had it converted into an office building that year while largely preserving the fabric of the building. The changes implemented in the process included the relocation of the entrance to the street side and the creation of a new entrance hall . From 1968 at the latest, the villa served as the residence of the embassy of the Kingdom of Denmark , the residence of the Danish ambassador in the Federal Republic of Germany at the seat of government in Bonn. The embassy office was on the opposite side of the street on the corner of Pfälzer Straße. In the course of the relocation of the seat of government (1999) the Danish embassy moved to Berlin ; Denmark had already been able to sell the residence in 1998 (→ Danish embassy in Berlin ).
