history

Before the transformation of Kaiserstraße into a thoroughfare in 1897, the property had the address Presencegasse 10. When the houses were counted in 1855, it was given the number 32. The building that was once there was a five-story half - timbered building of the distillery and liquor factory Strauss and Hirschberger. After the renovation of Kaiserstrasse, representative buildings of the time were built on many of the old properties. The Fleischmann house at Kaiserstraße 50 was built in 1905/06 for the court photographer Karl Fleischmann according to plans by the architects Beutinger and Steiner. At the same time, the two neighboring buildings, Kaiserstrasse 46 and 48 , were renewed according to plans by Beutinger and Steiner (no. 46) and Adolf Braunwald (no. 48).

The massive stone building was adorned by two monumental statues. The shop window facade was designed by the blacksmith August Stotz . The construction costs amounted to 75,000 marks. On the first floor there were two shops, an office and a cloakroom. On the first floor there were five rooms, toilet and kitchen, on the second floor a photo studio was set up on Kaiserstrasse with a separate room for the photo plates, three rooms, toilet and kitchen. A staircase in the rear of the house and a passenger elevator in the middle of the building connected the floors.

From 1937 on, the Mangold photo shop was in the house. The house was destroyed in the air raid on December 4, 1944 and an emergency building was built in its place after the Second World War, in which the Mangold photo shop was still located until it was closed in 2003. Shortly after the closure, the building and several surrounding buildings were demolished and the Klosterhof shopping center , which opened in 2009, was built in their place .
