History.
During the World War II, the building was severely damaged from air raids, particularly its facade. In 1971, the President of the Federal Monuments Office, Walter Frodl, was responsible for its reconstruction. Between 1975 and 1982, the building became privately owned and was renovated. The building is currently owned by a 2015 Karl Wlaschek foundation.
