The owner was the owner of the first Harz postcard publishing house, Mittag . The property served as both a residential and a commercial site.

Other sources describe the use of the house, known there as Villa Marcelle, as a French daughter's boarding school for household and scientific lessons. The boarding school had space for 15 to 16 girls and was one of the smaller facilities of this type. It had good references. However, during the inflation it was abandoned as a boarding school.
