House Henkel (Düsseldorf-Holthausen)
The listed Henkel House at Henkelstrasse 67 in Düsseldorf-Holthausen was built in 1927 according to plans by Walter Furthmann . With its handle tower, it became a “trademark of the chemical giant”. The house was originally at the GeSoLei exhibition in 1926; but the transfer of the Henkel house from the exhibition grounds to the company premises was planned in advance of the exhibition. That is why the exhibition was built with a steel frame. The external appearance is reminiscent of a modern sacred building . Walter Furthmann has designed all of Henkel's construction projects and many private buildings for the owner family since around 1906 .
