So that the guests feel at home, it was lavishly furnished and decorated classy. Well-known artists, including metal sculptor and interior designer designed the building representative. The painter Walter Womacka designed a ceramic mural at the garden facade. At the entrance is covered his mural "pigeons and globe. With tinted windows, glass walls in the interior, a large lobby, restaurants and bars, the building should look modern and cosmopolitan. There were receptions, conferences and film screenings. Not least, therefore, the building enjoys today a historical monument. Even after the turn of the future seemed at first to be sure, but it remained only until 1995 for a hotel. Then it went to the administration of the Federal Agency for Immovable Property (Bima).2006 acquired by an investor from Werder Brandenburg (Peter Haase) the property and failed to rebuild a hotel on the preservation conditions and the consequent high costs.

Since then, metal plates are to protect the windows and doors. Early 2011, the Terra plan finally begin to rebuild.
