This outstanding manor enjoys a prestigious setting above the left bank of the Rhine between Oberwinter and Remagen. Built between 1906 and 1908 as a private summer residence for an industrialist family from Cologne, it later became the official quarters of French diplomats. Architecture, history and panoramic setting combine here in a unique way. Extensive building rights have been granted with a designated building footprint of approximately 23,000 m² in addition to the existing buildings. The development plan includes hotel, conference, spa, restaurant, additional apartments for the owners, underground parking and commercial purposes. The binding land-use plan is not time-limited. We are eager to assist with any information. Historical Significance After World War I, the estate was used by the American occupying forces until 1919. In the 1930s, it was developed into an upscale hotel and restaurant where the Rhine society enjoyed meeting, a role it resumed after World War II following periods of military and civilian use. In the late 1940s, it became a meeting place for the film industry, hosting prominent actors. From 1949 onwards, the manor served as the residence of the French High Commissioner and later the French ambassadors to the Federal Republic of Germany. Close to Bonn, it was a venue for diplomatic encounters and official representation. Current Situation Following the relocation of the German government to Berlin, the French Embassy also moved there, while the estate initially remained the property of the French Republic. In 2006, the estate was acquired by a German film producer and comprehensively restored from 2007 onward; now privately owned, the manor (which is a listed building) and its registered park are maintained in a perfect condition. Architecture & Appearance The first residents commissioned Ernst Eberhard von Ihne, one of the leading architects of his time and imperial court architect, to design a modern summer residence in the French style. The building features a clear rectangular layout with two short side wings, while the garden façade facing the Rhine forms the principal elevation with eleven window axes. The west wing is distinguished by two semicircular glazed projections used as salons or winter gardens, while the east wing emphasizes horizontal articulation through a continuous projection. Built on rock and fully basemented, the house was equipped with advanced construction and technical features for its time, offering a high level of comfort. Bright, generously proportioned rooms, near floor-to-ceiling windows, symmetrical façades, and largely original Parisian interior design continue to convey the character of a representative yet residential country estate. Park, Garden & Outdoor Facilities Thanks to the design by the renowned Berlin landscape architect Albert Brodersen (who conceptualised the Berlin Tiergarten), the landscape park with hydrants for irrigation from its own spring offers a balanced combination of intimacy and sweeping panoramic views. A three-tiered terraced garden links the house to the steep Rhine slope to the southeast, connecting thus the representative architecture with the unique landscape of the Rhine Valley. The overall ensemble also includes various outbuildings: - Coach house with 5 garages and stables (4 boxes) - Studio house with an apartment and artist's studio – 6m ceiling height – - Garage building with 7 single garages and a large garage - Boiler house with a modern CO ₂ -neutral wood chip heating system and additional oil reserve heaters. Distinguished highlights include a scenic viewing pavilion perched on the northeastern edge, while the southern grounds host an historic tennis court and a pétanque field. Set in the vibrant Rhineland yet fully secluded, the castle offers exceptional privacy. The approx. 60,000 m² fenced estate is surrounded by oak and beech forest, with two helipads and a gatekeeper’s house ensuring maximum security.

The prestigious Villa Marein is situated on a spacious, park-like lot in a prime residential neighborhood of Meerbusch. The property stands on historic ground: as early as 1916, steel mill owner Reinhold Becker had “Schloss Marein” built on the site, which was largely destroyed toward the end of World War II. In the 1950s, the current villa was built on the same site according to plans by the internationally renowned architect Helmut Hentrich. The symmetrically designed façade features generous, arched windows that offer a view of the spacious, secluded garden. As part of a comprehensive renovation and modernization in 2008–2009, all windows were fitted with modern insulated glazing, while the style and character of the original architecture were consistently preserved. The functional shutters and the recently replaced, electrically operated awnings underscore this commitment. The single-story villa, which features a full basement, was built on a raised plateau and sits approximately 1.50 meters above street level. As a result, the property and terraces enjoy an exceptional degree of privacy. The centrally located main entrance, featuring a restored solid-wood paneled door, leads into a stately foyer with indirect lighting and high-quality stucco elements. From here, you enter the spacious living room, approximately 48 m² in size, which is impressively bright and offers direct access to the garden. The living area is complemented by a stylish fireplace room, whose floor-to-ceiling windows create a special sense of comfort. The spacious kitchen-dining area was beautifully renovated in 2024 and features custom-built cabinetry, modern countertops, and direct access to the sunny terrace. Adjacent to it are the elegant dining room and the light-filled 60 m² sunroom with floor-to-ceiling glass walls and its own fireplace. A small connecting room, used as an office, creates a harmonious link between the sunroom and the living room. In the private area of the ground floor are two spacious bedrooms with high-quality hardwood floors, individual dressing areas, and two stylishly appointed bathrooms. The master bathroom features marble flooring, mosaic tiles, a double vanity, a separate shower, a bathtub, and a separate toilet. The villa features an attic that is approximately 65 percent converted, offering several spacious living and sleeping areas with en-suite bathrooms. A particular highlight is the spacious studio in the newly constructed gable end, featuring a large mullioned window front and an additional gallery level. The basement offers extensive utility and mechanical spaces. The integrated double garage with electrically operated doors provides space for at least two vehicles. The space is complemented by utility and mechanical rooms, wine storage areas, and spaces for security systems. The southwestern section of the building houses a wellness area with a sauna, shower, and a decommissioned indoor pool. A private well with a pump and storage tank supplies water for garden irrigation. The outdoor grounds are an exceptionally well-maintained park landscape featuring trees, some of which are over 200 years old. Privacy hedges, plane trees, old holm oaks, and a striking dogwood ensure a high degree of privacy. An idyllic pond lies in front of the sunroom, while several water connections enable the irrigation of the expansive landscaped garden. The property captures the entire path of the sun from sunrise to sunset. The spacious, southwest-facing terrace offers ideal sun exposure and a magnificent view of the surrounding greenery. Villa Marein combines historical significance, architectural quality, spacious layouts, and an exceptional park setting into a rare residential ensemble that meets the highest standards of privacy and living comfort in an exquisite location.
