The house emerged from a tailor's venture who acquired the property around 1665 and began supplementing his income through beer brewing. This craft activity shaped the building across generations.
The restaurant was known for serving traditional Berlin home-style food and played a role in the local food culture of Nikolaiviertel. Diners came here to enjoy dishes that were common in many Berlin households.
