After Prince Archbishop Paris Lodron drained the Schallmoos and Itzlinger Moos in 1632 and relocated the city wall in an easterly direction, a large undeveloped area was created in the area of ​​today's Andräviertel , although it proved difficult to settle this new town. Therefore, the archbishop decided to settle his own family there. In 1643 he handed over part of the site to his brother Christoph von Lodron as a Primogenitur - Entrepreneurship . In addition, he donated a secondary school for his sisters Barbara Countess Liechtenstein and Eleonore Countess Spaun. For this he had the Secondary Generation Palace built. This was a three-story building with two entrance gates, a rear garden and two other buildings for administrators and servants.

This former second line residence of the Lodron family fell victim to the town fire of 1818. The fire ruins have not been cleared for a long time, so in 1848 the ruins of the Secondogeniture Palace are reported.

The ruin then became the Gasthof zum Krebsen , later Zum Roten Krebs . This pub with a pub garden developed into a popular meeting place for artists and writers (e.g. Georg Trakl ).

In 1908 the house was completely rebuilt by Paul Geppert on behalf of Carl Melms, with elements of Art Nouveau being incorporated into the facade design. In 1938 the registration office of the German armed forces moved here . After the Second World War , the hotel was reduced in size and finally closed completely.

Today a number of individual shops and a four-star boutique hotel are housed in the building. In the basement, the Zum Krebsenkeller restaurant is a reminder of the recent past.

An entrance gate into the inner courtyard, which is crowned by the coat of arms of Paris Lodron, points to the Secondogeniture Palace.
