The Coburg Bahnhofstrasse was laid out from 1860 as part of the station building.

At the end of 1897 Otto Leheis bought the property on the Itz and built a villa-style apartment building on the bridgehead in what was then Bahnhofstraße 15b and behind it in Seifahrtshofstraße 8. Leheis chose the ground floor of the representative, striking new building from 1899 on Bahnhofstrasse as the residential and business location. The stables and warehouses of his construction business were housed in the backyard . When Leheis became insolvent in 1907, the building, valued at 67,600 marks, was foreclosed on August 7, 1907 . The glass technician Eduard Müller was awarded the contract. The property has been used as a private residence since 2009.
