It was Theodor Welschen who had the idea to build a house on the "Heji". This decision was made on the spot! In a letter he later wrote:

" … two years ago on a beautiful autumn day, when I was sitting on the small lift on the lookout, the Matterhorn inspired the thought that here and nowhere else is where happiness can be found!"

During the winter of 1931-32, he started the planning. In the upper floors, flats were planned, while a tearoom was supposed to be built in the ground floor. The reason for this was an access road directly next to the house, planned by the local authorities. In the summer of 1932, Theodor started the project together with his brother Basil.
