According to tradition, Countess Geiselina von Schwabeck is said to have donated land to the city of Lauingen to maintain the Danube bridge, hence the name Bruckhaus. A municipal Bruckmeister managed the house and the goods. The current building was built around 1600, in 1608/09 Master Franz received payments for work in the Bruckhaus. In the later years the building was home to the Gasthaus zum Kreuz and then the Gasthaus zur Sonne, as can be seen from a relief on the facade of the house.
