Villa Dahm

Villa Dahm was a double residence with neoclassical design in Bonn's Gronau district. The three-story building featured polygonal corner towers, a slate mansard roof, and a symmetrical facade divided into six sections.

Industrialist Jakob Dahm built this residence for his sons between 1876 and 1877. The building stood for more than a century before its demolition in 2006.

The building served as a meeting place where politicians and members of parliament gathered for discussions. This role shaped it as a center of political exchange in Bonn's public life.

Access to each half was originally via a central staircase positioned at the dividing wall between the two sections. The building no longer exists as it was demolished to make way for new development.

From 1955 to 1999, the building served as headquarters for a major political organization. This unexpected role transformed a residential villa into a symbol of Bonn's political life.
