Salomon Jakob erected the eaves two-story residential house with mansard roof until 1801. He sold the property in 1820 to Abraham Seligmann. In 1830, he married the widow of Nathan Hausmann, formerly Rosenwirt (then Hauptstraße 32). In 1831 Abraham Seligmann acquired the concession of the Rose for Hauptstraße 16. He died in 1836. His son Benedikt Seligmann continued to run the inn until he moved away in 1869. In 1854 he had a bowling alley built in the garden of the house
.The Rose was a shield inn, i.e. the innkeeper also had the right to offer rooms to strangers. The Rose gave the then numerous passing through merchant Jews the security of being able to observe their ritual food commandments here. In addition, overnight accommodations for the Sabbath were assured. A second Jewish restaurant in Hochberg existed at Alexandrinenplatz 1 since 1837, but as a purely dining establishment it did not carry a sign, so that it did not come to be called "Krone" until 1919.
Names of inns usually came from the fund of Christian symbolism (lion and eagle (evangelist symbols), lamb). Jewish innkeepers sought names that were not directly associated with Christianity.
