Malteserhof, Architectural heritage monument in Römlinghoven, Germany.

The Malteserhof building stands on a one-hectare park property at Malteserstrasse 52, rising towards the Siebengebirge mountains at 68 meters above sea level.

The first documented mention of Malteserhof dates back to 1540, with earlier records suggesting its existence in the 13th century as a property of the Teutonic Order.

The property changed ownership in 1820 to Philipp Joseph Rehfues, a writer and curator at Friedrich-Wilhelms-University Bonn, who developed the characteristic country villa.

The building served as a conference and leisure center for the Protestant Church from 1982 to 2016, when it was sold to private owners for residential development.

English and Canadian soldiers used Malteserhof as accommodation during World War I, after which Max Giessing acquired and expanded the property in 1917.
