The reason for building the "Self-Connection Exchange" was the revolutionary move away from telephone calls connected by a telephone operator. The new exchange housed the automatic dialing system, which made the operator redundant.

The traditional architecture is based on Swabian Late Gothic and Renaissance: large stepped gables with inward-curving steps (reminiscent of the Catholic Church of the Holy Cross in Augsburg and the Hallhaus in Nördlingen). The ground-floor windows are pointed arches, and the typical expressionist eagle of the Weimar Republic bears an inscription with the building's name. Dr. Pablo de la Riestra
