Around  1923 here was found a tombstone on which it was written in Latin the 1600.
The wing towards the garden was added in 1812 and the wing placed obliquely to the other buildings was added at the end of the 19th century. 
After the First World War, the owner was the chemist Herzberg, who moved his  ‘Zum Goldenen Kreuz’ “At the Golden Cross” Pharmacy on the ground floor.
