The origins of the property lie in a Begardenhaus, a community of lay brothers dedicated to caring for the sick and prayer. Over time, its use changed, and the building became a convent of the Cellites, an order also involved in nursing. This development reflects the dynamic religious movements and adaptation to societal needs that shaped the image of Worms over centuries.
