History

We have found different information about the time of construction. The Department for the Preservation of Historic Monuments and Buildings (Amt für Denkmalschutz) mentions the year 1927, the website of the café informs about reconstruction plans from 1928, which were not implemented until 1930. During these alterations, the entire interior of the café was changed.

Between 1998 and 2000 the café got renovated. The reconstructed and redesigned letters convey an impression of the formal taste of the time around 1930. They are influenced by Art Deco.

The main house was built in 1880.
