Mayor Oswald Wenzel in 1456 and goldsmith Nikolaus Russe in 1468 were the first known owners of the house.
Between 1500 and 1600 the house was in the possession senator and merchant Johann Rappolt and his descendants. Around the year 1600 patrician Armbruster purchased the house and subsequently, Simonis, Lutsch, Czekelius von Rosenfeld owned it between 1706 and1754, followed by Michael Hirling.
Between 1795 and 1820 the house belonged to Andreas Wolff and Georg Gross. In 1828 mayor Martin Von Hochmeister, the famous pressman of the city, bought the house at a price of 3500 fl. He rebuilt it entirely. In 1866 the Saxon University came into possession of the house and preserved it until 1937.
Paul Friedrich’s pharmacy named “La Leu” opened here in 1780. After his death in 1795, the pharmacy was taken over by Andreas Wolff and Georg Gross. Between 1820 and 1836 the pharmacy was in the possession of the Sigerus family, from whom it was purchased by August Teutsch in 1836.
