A somewhat inconspicuous brick stone façade covers the building on the side facing the street. As it moves towards the north, however, the façade unfolds into a true expressionist treasure with its harmoniously aligned triangular pillars. Depending on which angle the building is viewed from, the windows between these pillars either disappear partially or fully, obscured by the projecting pillars on the walls.

It has been used as a venue since 2005.
