That would be "Lehrgebäude" (German for approximately "edifice of learning") 
-- the title of Gesenius' own Hebrew Grammar in it's original 1817 edition 
published by F.C.W. Vogel in Leipzig. The page numbers in your quote fit the 
1817 edition fine. The subsequent reference to "Hebrew Grammar Section 106, 
2, b" could be to any other grammar in existence prior to 1846 when the 
translation was done, of which the 1979 Baker Books dictionary is a reprint.

all the best
