The "Barbarino-Eck" (left corner building with spire and lantern) in Heilbronn around 1900

The Barbarino-Eck on Kiliansplatz at the intersection of Kaiserstraße and Sülmerstraße in Heilbronn is one of “the most striking locations” in Heilbronn city center.

Destroyed in the Second World War, a “business and office building on Barbarino-Eck ” (or the model house) was rebuilt in 1969 . It is considered to be an example of the “metropolitan architecture” of the 1970s in Heilbronn, and is said to have “illustrate” the modern construction method and set “new accents in urban architecture”.

The commercial building at Kaiserstraße 25 was built in 1898 by the merchant Victor Alfred Schneider according to plans by the architects Ernst Walter and Karl Luckscheiter in the style of eclecticism . Form elements of the French Neo-Baroque (spire) alternated with those of the Italian Neo-Renaissance (portal).

Barbarino cigar shop opened in the building in 1934, the corner house became known as the "Barbarino-Eck". The building itself was considered to be one of the few representatives of the “pompous, lavish style of the so-called founding years around the turn of the century”.
