From 1901 to 1905, the Frankfurt banker Wilhelm Bonn (* March 16, 1843 in Frankfurt am Main; † October 21, 1910 in Kronberg im Taunus) had Villa Bonn built. The Bonn family had already had a summer residence on the property since 1864, which was subsequently expanded through additional purchases. Baruch and Betty Bonn, Wilhelm Bonn's parents, were wealthy Jewish bankers and had acquired the property that year and converted it into a prestigious summer residence. Baruch Bonn was a co-founder of the railway company that contributed to Kronberg's railway connection. The Bonn couple were also socially active, for example, as supporters of the Baruch and Betty Bonn'sche Versorgungshaus Foundation of the Cronberg community, the poor relief fund, and the hospital association. In the second generation, the house was initially occupied by Philipp Bonn and his sister Charlotte Wetzlar. After Philipp Bonn's death, Wilhelm Bonn inherited the property. The building was designed by the Hamburg architect Alfred Löwengard in the Historicist style with Art Nouveau influences. A park was laid out around the house, based on the English model.
