The house at Agnesstraße 1 in the Hamburg district of Winterhude was built in 1908/1909 for the industrialist Oscar Troplowitz. Accordingly, the building is also known as Villa Troplowitz.

Oscar Troplowitz (1864–1918) was the owner of Beiersdorf AG and the inventor of numerous products, including the adhesive plaster. In addition to his professional activities, Troplowitz was an art collector and patron, and open to the ideas of modernism.

He commissioned the Berlin architect William Müller (1871–1913), a student of Messel, to build his villa at the junction of Agnesstraße and Fernsicht.

The design of the villa, with its rough-plaster facade and the dome facing the Outer Alster, is unusual for Hamburg buildings around 1910.

The villa, with its garden and enclosure, is a listed historic monument; according to the list of historic monuments, William Müller and Chr. H. Leopold Strelow were responsible for the design.

Oscar Troplowitz (born January 18, 1863 in Gleiwitz, Upper Silesia; died April 27, 1918 in Hamburg) was a German pharmacist, entrepreneur and patron of the arts.
Troplowitz was the scion of the assimilated Jewish Troplowitz family based in Upper Silesia, which ran a wine wholesale business in Gleiwitz and became wealthy.
The Troplowitz family was well known in the city and owned a wine bar on the Ring, the city's town hall square.
Oscar was one of two children of Simon Ludwig (Louis) Troplowitz (1825-1913) and Agnes Mankiewicz (1838-1912), who came from Lissa.
His father, Louis Troplowitz, was a master builder and owned his own construction company.
He built z. B. 1861 the new synagogue in Gliwice according to the plans of the architect Salomon Lubowski, which was destroyed in the Reichspogromnacht 1938.
