The building is listed as a constitutive member of the "Spandauer Vorstadt" ensemble in the Berlin monument register and is located in the eponymous redevelopment area. It was built in 1842 as the "Therbusch Resource" and served as a place of entertainment for members of the upper bourgeoisie and civil service until the 20th century. In 1931, the property was transferred to the Prussian State and was used as a student dormitory, subsequently serving as a teaching building for Humboldt University Berlin until 2003.
