The news bureau was founded in 1849 by the banker Paul Julius Freiherr von Reuter, actually Israel Beer Josaphat, in Aachen; from here he sent stock data to Brussels with carrier pigeons. When a telegraph connection was established between the two cities, Reuter stopped the "air service".
The building itself does not do much. Today is a restaurant whose quality is changeable.
