The residential building was designed, constructed and for a long time inhabited by Professor Clemens Hummel in 1931. Among other things, Hummel – an architect of the firm of Hummel und Förstner, Stuttgart – designed the churches Herz Jesu Kirche (built in 1920) and Kirche St. Fidelis (built in 1925 and redesigned in 1945 by Rudolf Schwarz). He also designed many villas in and around Stuttgart. From 1907, Clemens Hummel was a professor at TH Stuttgart (the Technical University of Stuttgart).
