Building history

Little is known about the building history. The house was probably built between the 15th and 17th centuries .

use

Initially, the house was privately owned, and finally owned by a host family who ran the "Wirtschaft zur Blum [e]" here . In 1870 Zacharias Frank, Anne Frank's great-grandfather, bought the building as a residential building. During the period of National Socialism was Jewish Frank family-Loeb expropriated and the house in the Kaufhausgasse as Judenhaus used.

After the Second World War it was initially privately owned, but was sold to the city in 1987 and has been used as an art and exhibition building ever since. The Frank Loeb Institute and the Political Science Department of the Institute for Social Sciences at the University of Koblenz-Landau (Landau campus) are also located in this building. In Landau society, the house is the epitome of Jewish culture before the era of National Socialism.
