History
The Casino Building was built in 1837 at the initiative of the Casino Society (Kazinsko društvo), Ljubljana high society's social club. The Casino Building was a meeting place with a well-stocked reading room, and was the venue for numerous social events. It was the venue of a dance where the Slovene poet France Prešeren was meeting his muse, Julija Primic. By the turn of the century, the restaurant had become a meeting place for the German community in the city, thus it was named the German Casino (German: Deutsches Casino).
