In 1600 Archduke Matthias , who later became Emperor, had a male house built in the area. The name Hundsturm possibly comes from this male house. It is more likely, however, that it goes back to the former "Hundsmühle", which was first recorded in 1408 as the Hunczmühle in the Scheibenried . The street used to be called Schloßgasse or Schloßplatz after Hundsturm Castle (built in 1672, demolished in 1885).

The complex was named after Empress Karoline Auguste (1792–1873), who donated a considerable sum to the association. More than a hundred working-class families were able to find quarters here, and on the ground floor there was a “children's institution” for the children of working women.
