The villa was built by Wilhelm and Cäcilla Knepper in the middle of the 19th century and surrounds a wonderful park. Later in 1853 the L-shaped addition for wallpaper painting took place which represents the actual villa including garden house today. Long-term owners of the house were descendants of the Beethoven family, among others his nephew. Chamber music events such as Mozart concert evenings take place in the villa's music salon. Today, after a major inner reconstruction of current owners, it reopens its arms for guests from all over the globe.
