The buildings in Hölderlinstraße, which included house number 10, were erected in 1903; the architect Carl Runkwitz was responsible for the plans and the construction company commissioned was Cohn & Kreh. From around 1906/07, the building housed an auxiliary school. From the 1930s at the latest, the address was linked to the history of the neighboring Samson-Raphael-Hirsch-Realschule.

The institution, centrally located at the old Hanau railroad station/east station, advertised with moderate overnight prices, home-style and kosher cuisine "Polish and Romanian style".

When it was founded - the date is not known - the establishment first traded as Hotel Ostbahnhof, then as Hotel Diehl and finally - completely renovated - as Hotel Löwenhof; until the end of 1923 under owner or director Adolf Mangel.

After the Shoah, the few surviving men and women from the Theresienstadt camp were quartered in various emergency shelters in Frankfurt; these included the retirement home at Sandweg 7 in eastern Nordend and the former, badly damaged hospital of the Israelite community at Gagernstraße 36 in Ostend, as well as the former Israelite elementary school at Röderbergweg 29. In addition to the strict rationing of food, the observance of kashrut, the dietary laws, made things even more difficult for Jews. "The first kosher butcher's shop ... was also in Theobald-Christ-Straße.

In the 1950s, Nassauische Heimstätte (now the Nassauische Heimstätte/Wohnstadt (NHW) group of companies) also built apartments for survivors of the Shoah in cooperation with the city of Frankfurt am Main. To this end, in 1953 the city increased its capital contributions in favor of Heimstätte and the housing associations it manages by two million Deutschmarks.
