Heinrich Zille was a regular at the restaurant to study " his Milljöh ". Claire Waldoff also stopped by here. The painter Otto Nagel was also a guest here. In 1943 the Zum Nussbaum inn was destroyed in an Allied bombing raid.

Heinrich Zille wrote his verses here:

In the walnut tree to the left of the Molkenmarcht,
I snored many nights there.
Father Zille is painting there!
The waiter's delirium
The landlady is walking around in her shirt,
The Jäste - they are knille!
