Café Einstein parent company
The Café Einstein Stammhaus is a coffee house at Kurfürstenstraße 58 in Berlin 's Tiergarten district ( Mitte district ). It is located in a villa that was built in the years 1878–1879 by Max Karchow and Robert Guthmann for the factory owner Gustav Roßmann in the style of the Italian Renaissance . In 1926, according to plans by Ernst Lessing and Max Bremer, heightened and extended to the garden. In 1979 it was furnished in the style of the Viennese coffee house culture . The building was originally called Villa Roßmann and is now considered a Berlin artists' meeting place.
Since September 2009, two stumbling blocks on the threshold to the entrance have been remembering the former owners, the Jewish private banker Georg Blumenfeld and his wife Margarete Lucia, who were expropriated in 1939 due to the National Socialist racial laws . Georg Blumenfeld took following the expropriation of life, his wife committed suicide in 1941 "as a final act of self-assertion" suicide .
The legend that Henny Porten is said to have lived in the house at Kurfürstenstrasse 58 for many years cannot be confirmed using the Berlin address books.
