Meißener Kachelhaus

The house was built in 1927 for the grocer Wilhelm Harms. The architect was Paul Löwenthal. Originally, a second floor was to be built, but the unfavorable ground conditions with loose sand and the increased costs - 200,000 marks had to be invested instead of 180,000 - prompted the client to downsize the plan. The Kachelhaus got its name from the green exterior cladding made in Meissen. After several conversions, the approximately 200 m² former store area now houses a restaurant that has integrated the old furnishings into the furniture.

The following slogan can be read on the façade: "Paul Löwenthal conceived this house, Wilhelm Harms spun the wire. If we'd known what it was made of, we would have let it go."

During the National Socialist era, the first part with the reference to the Jewish architect was removed. It was added again after 1945.
