The Hoenes Collection, which is now part of the museum's holdings, was created between the 1930s and the 1960s. It comprises mainly sculptures, porcelain, and arts and crafts from Asia and Europe. Hermann Hoenes acquired his first East Asian works of art as early as the end of the 1920s, at a time when mainly national art was collected. Today, the collector couple's wish to try and understand their own as well as foreign cultures proves to be timely as much as their message of cultural tolerance. The museum's guiding principle of being a meeting point for different cultures and collectives arose from this approach.

The Villa Rot, home to Museum Villa Rot, was built by Baron Raymund Fugger in 1912. In 1925, Alexandra von Hornstein acquired the property and bequeathed it to Feodora Christ in 1932. In 1933, Feodora Christ married cellist and conductor Hermann Hoenes. The couple turned the villa into a place for music, arts, and culture in the years after 1945. Their art collection is the cornerstone of the foundation with the same name established by Museum Villa Rot in the former "Fuggerschlösschen" on August 28, 1992.
