After the construction, a surgeon, Dr Dettmer[2] had his clinic in the back and his private house. At Bromberg's time, the address was "DanzigerStrasse 42".
In 1924, the Office of the City bought the building and organized here the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department of the Municipal Hospital,[3] was surrounded by a garden.
