history

Sculptures by Ludwig Sonnleitner: craftsmen

In 1899 the Bavarian Ministry of the Interior ordered the establishment of a Chamber of Crafts in Würzburg, together with two departments in Aschaffenburg and Schweinfurt, which still act as branches of the Chamber of Crafts today. The constituent meeting of the Lower Franconian Chamber of Crafts took place on June 5, 1900 in Würzburg. In 1926, the Chamber of Crafts for Lower Franconia moves from previously rented rooms into its own building (laying of the foundation stone on August 22, 1925; architect: Otto Leitolf, heads in the main facade: Ludwig Sonnleitner) on Rennweger Ring in Würzburg, where the Headquarters is located.

Shortly before the end of the Second World War, the building was almost completely destroyed during an attack by the Allies on March 16, 1945 . In 1949 the reconstruction of the chamber building was completed, in the meantime the operation has been temporarily maintained at different locations.
