Today, after the building's restoration in 2000, the Haifa City Museum is located there. The building itself was built in 1869 and became the first stone house of the Templar community in the Holy Land. It was the house of the national assembly, the hall for sermons and meetings, the school and the local council at the same time. The bells in the annexe above the facade announced meetings. It is said that Kaiser Wilhelm spoke to the people from a balcony during his 1898 visit to the Holy Land. Above the entrance, as usual, there is a quotation from the holy scriptures; this time, the dog is mentioned: "If I forget you, Jerusalem, may I lose my right hand."
The route starts from the Golden Crown Hotel and the City shopping center, runs up Ben Gurion Street through the houses of Schumacher and Olifant, the historic Colony Hotel, the lower terrace of Bahai Gardens, the Song Street, Dojan Restaurant, the burgher-style restaurant, the German Colony Community House and the current City Museum and ends at the bottom of the German colony at the intersection of Jaffa and Ben Gurion streets.
