A monument with atmosphere: The Villa in the West City opens its doors
On September 13, 2026, the Villa in the West City in Bonn will become a special place for all who love architecture, history, and real event atmosphere. As part of the Open Monuments Day, visitors can explore the Gründerzeit building on Gluckstraße.

Historical details that you can not only see but also feel
The villa dates back to 1891 and impresses with ceiling decorations, colorful reliefs, and an ornate bay window. Especially striking is the large-scale illusion painting in wood look, which is rarely found in Bonn in this condition. The eye automatically wanders upward, the ambiance feels calm, elegant, and almost cinematic.
