Entrance to the passage (2018)

Großer Joachimsthal is the name for the residential and commercial building at Hainstrasse 10 in Leipzig and for the passage from this house to Katharinenstrasse 13. Both houses are listed buildings .

history

In the house on Hainstrasse, the merchant Martin Bauer sold silver from his silver mines in Sankt Joachimsthal in Bohemia in the second half of the 16th century . The name "der Joachimsthal" became common for the house. To distinguish it from his son's house diagonally across the street, the addition of “large” was added later. In contrast to the Kleiner Joachimsthal , the male name has been preserved to this day. After the silver trade ceased, the house became a center of the Leipzig cloth trade. The passage to Katharinenstraße is one of the oldest passages in Leipzig.

At the turn of the 20th century, both access houses to the passage were rebuilt. In 1895 the house at Katharinenstrasse 13 was built according to plans by the architect Curd Nebel with neo-Gothic forms . In 1906/07 the house at Hainstrasse 10 followed according to plans by Otto Riehl. After its reconstruction in 1996/97, only the facade of this building remains. At the beginning of the 1990s, the Große Joachimsthal belonged to the Leipzig property owned by the building contractor Jürgen Schneider .
