In the second half of the twentieth century it was owned by the University of Hamburg and was most recently the seat of the Institute for Maritime Law and Maritime Trade Law. The dining room was set up as a seminar room. In 2001 the Hamburg Monument Association pointed out the poor state of preservation of the vacant building. A real estate company acquired the listed building and renovated it. From 2007 the Hamburg World Economic Institute was located here ; since 2018 the offices of a law firm.

description

The building is a compact single villa in the style of reform architecture . The two main facades are clad with rough plaster for the surfaces and shell limestone for the structure. The outer facade partly draws on traditional forms, especially with the coupled Doric columns at the entrance portico . What is new, on the other hand, are the pilaster-like templates or the main cornice, which is also stylized as an ornament . Overall, the building appears to be “striving for monumentality”, which the architect Hermann Distel later implemented in the design of the location command on the Sophienterrasse .

On the neighboring property to the south there is another listed villa by Martin Haller and Hermann Geißler , adjoining to the north are the listed villas Deussen and Zennig by William and Rudolf Rzekonski from 1909/10.
