The office building was built in 1956/57 by Bernhard Hermkes for the administration of Osram GmbH under the building owner of the Pepper group of companies. The building once housed the light museum , in which the development history of the electric light bulb was documented. The Eternit headquarters later moved into the building. In the 1970s to 1990s the building was used by the computer scientists at the TU. In 2006/2007 the building was completely renovated . The scope of the renovation ranged from a structural and shell renovation, a facade renewal and the creation of contemporary fire protection , to the installation of technical systems and the interior of the building for the tenants. From 2009 to 2017, the Teles Group , which is characterized by the large advertising letters on the roof, was based here.
