Hans Georg Döberle, who was elected Hochberg's first mayor in 1821, built the house in 1824 and sold it to the Rosenwirt Abraham Seligmann in 1831, since he had acquired the former rectory at Hauptstr. 10 from Gabriel Dreyfuß in 1830 and moved there. Seligmann sold the house in 1832 to the Jewish village school teacher David Weil, who died in 1847. His widow Babette Weil continued to live in the house with seven children until 1859, from which time the name "Jewish Teacher's House" became established. In 1859, the Jewish merchant Tobias Bernheimer purchased the house.
