Around 1475, the house was in the property of senator Velten Lederer. In 1584 it was owned by Christian Stolz and in 1620 mayor Paul Ludovici held the property of this house. His daughters passed the property to Stern and Johannes Hirscher. In 1695 it was purchased by Johann Bakosh, subsequently entering in the possession of patrician Johann Kissling, remaining in this family for 100 years.
By marriage, the house was inherited by Johann Andreas von Heidendosff and Karl von Wayda. Around 1850 it entered in the possession of Franz Josef von Salmen, a Saxon city manager. Salmen’s descendents sold the house to the Land Credit Bank in Sibiu (Bodenkreditanstalt) at the end of the 19th century.
The Agrarian Association of Saxons in Ardeal (Landwirtschaftsvereins siebenb.-sächs.) had its offices here at the beginning of the 20th century and until World War I.

The house is formed of five bodies, the main body having a basement, a ground floor and the first floor.
The façade looking onto the square has six lines, the central part forming a slightly pronounced jutty. Two twin arcades are present here, one serving as access to the courtyard. The gate passageway has a stone framework, the other arcade being a replica of the prior structure.
