The busts are now in the City Museum. On 16 November 2012, two replicas were inaugurated concrete casting. In 1748 Elector Karl Theodor bought the house and rented it to the later Academy Director Lambert Krahe. From 1769 inhabited Governor Earl of Efferen the house, which is why it is also called Gouvernementshaus. Later, the police department was housed in this building temporarily.
