Villa Ingenohl, Renaissance Revival villa in Gronau, Germany

Villa Ingenohl is a residential building in Renaissance Revival style from the late 19th century located on Raiffeisenstraße. It underwent renovation in 1919 and was later converted into office spaces containing 22 rooms.

Villa Ingenohl was built in 1895/96 for Carl Ingenohl to a design by Bonn architect Anton Zengeler, with final approval in February 1897. From 1949 until summer 1950 it housed the Federal Chancellery office for foreign affairs, the predecessor of the Foreign Office founded in 1951, which made the villa its first seat with 22 offices. The ministry moved out in 1954/55, and before the government left for Berlin the building was last used as a daycare centre.

The building reflects how wealthy industrialists before World War I chose to display their status through architecture. Italian Renaissance elements shape its appearance and show the taste of those who lived here.

The building sits in a quiet area and is easy to reach on foot from nearby streets. Visitors can view the Renaissance details of the facade from outside to get a good sense of the structure.

In 2017 the Montag Förderstiftung applied to demolish the villa to create open space for the neighbouring Villa Heckmann; the city rejected the application. Since 2021 the building has been part of the Montag Campus, returning it to educational use after more than 125 years.
