The property at Behrenstrasse 21/22 had an eventful history up until the Second World War , including the mathematician Leonhard Euler who lived there from 1743 to 1766.

Between 1911 and 1912, the architecture firm Bielenberg & Moser (Richard Bielenberg [1871–1929] and Josef Moser [1872–1963]) built the current building for the A. Schaaffhausen'schen Bankverein . Through a merger, it was initially owned by Disconto- Society and then the Deutsche Bank . During the GDR times it belonged to the Central Bank of the GDR , the Ministry of Transport of the GDR and the VEB Dampferzeugerbau , which was based in the building.

In May 1992 the Free State of Bavaria acquired the property and in August 1995 awarded the planning contract to the Aschaffenburg State Building Authority. In December of the same year, the renovation was publicly tendered across Europe, the contract was awarded in July 1996 by a consortium made up of Bayerischer Landesbank , Philipp Holzmann AG and Bayerischer Industrie und Gewerbe Bau GmbH & Co.The only major change was the roofing of the inner courtyard so that it could be used for events to be able to use. The building was inaugurated on December 10, 1998. The costs for the entire complex amounted to 34.56 million euros.

In the vault of the former bank building there is a beer cellar and a Franconian wine bar .
