“The compact, strictly structured and well-designed building is on the one hand an architectural historical source for the development of historicist architecture, on the other hand, as one of the most important state buildings of the 19th century in Constance, it symbolizes the upswing that the city was able to register at that time .

The building was built according to plans by the district building inspector August Braun. The room layout of the ground floor and floors I and II still largely correspond to the original plan. The attic floor was expanded according to today's needs.
