Concentra house
The Concentra-Haus is a commercial building on Leipziger Petersstrasse , on the corner of Sporergäßchen. It was built in 1920 as an exhibition center. Today a Swedish clothing company has a branch here.
The building
The five-storey plastered building has seven window axes on the main floors after Petersstrasse and eleven after the Sporergäßchen. After Petersstrasse, the first floor has an altar-like steel frame porch . On the second floor, a balcony extends over almost the entire width of the facade. The third floor has arched windows . A stepped pyramid roof begins above the broad cornice above the fourth floor, with a wide frontispiece after Petersstrasse and Sporergäßchen . The roof landscape along the Sporergäßchen is irregular.
The building, built in the style of traditionalism , has four large rosettes under the windows of the third floor and the house name above in gold letters. The fourth floor is flanked by two classicist vases, and the frontispiece to Petersstrasse is crowned by a ball on a staircase. The house is a listed building .
history
The first mention of a building on the property dates back to 1589, when Franz Romanus (1550–1636) bought the house from Christoph von Hoym . The wine tavern operated there, and with it the house, bore the name “Zum große Christoph”. Later it was called Kobsches Haus and Küstnersches Haus after the owners. In 1836 it came into the possession of the merchant Adolf Heinrich Schletter (1793-1853) and thus became the "Schletterhaus". It kept this name when Schletter bequeathed it to the city in 1853 and the city sold it in 1863 in favor of the Schletter Foundation.
In 1920 the Schletterhaus was demolished and Otto Droge (1885–1970) built an exhibition center for the “Concentra” company. Concentra was the sales company founded in 1917 for the Nuremberg toy manufacturer Bing . On the ground floor there was a branch of the Mitteldeutsche Creditbank (from 1929 to Commerzbank ). Later, the “Café Centra” resided here, for which a porch located on Petersstrasse had been built. During the renovation in 1995/1996, the café and porch disappeared in favor of the textile trading company.
