At Christmas 1937 Konrad Adenauer´s family moved to their new home in Rhöndorf.
It was to remain Adenauer´s home for more than three decades until his death in 1967.
The house is located in precipitous former vineyards approx. 30 m above the Rhine.
The "Adenauerhaus" is a 3-storey, residential building on l-shaped plan with a hipped roof from slate. It is surrounded by a garden invested in terraces. In the garden there are a teahouse, a Pavillion, a Boccia road and various statues. The garden is a place of interest by his Mediterranean variety of plants, plastics and wells.
From the western patio one has a nice view over Rhöndorf and the "Drachenfels".
After Adenauer's death his heirs transferred the reduction and the property to the Federal Republic of Germany. The private property was made publicly accessible within the scope of excursions. Since April, 2017 a modern, diversified exhibition on the life and work of Konrad Adenauer is to be visited in the big museum building below the dwelling house. The "Adenauerhaus" is a public memorial and can be visited during openig hours.
