The main features of Villa Wollner were built in the 18th century. Justus Friedrich Güntz , who had acquired the property in 1861, had the existing house expanded and additional buildings built on the property. Julius Robert Spies bought the property in 1881. The villa was rebuilt from 1906 to 1908 by Wilhelm Kreis for the entrepreneur Robert Wollner - Spies' son-in-law. The garden architect Max Bertram took on the design of the park-like property . Wollner used the villa on the Altwachwitz vineyard as a summer residence. His heirs remained in possession of the villa until the 1930s, which subsequently passed to the state of Saxony.
