The house at Kaiser-Wilhelm-Ring 34 in Cologne was built from 1883 to 1886 for the industrialist Wilhelm Leyendecker according to designs by the architects at De Voss & Müller . The house was "a characteristic example" of how in the 1880s the motifs of the facade design of individual Cologne buildings in the style of the Italian and French Renaissance - Palais E. v. Oppenheim u. Palais Mevissen - "eagerly received" and taken over in the residential buildings of all social classes. The motifs were risalits , a mansard roof , domed hipped roofs with crowning cornices and wide-span triumphal arches. The building is no longer preserved.
The ground floor was rusticated, the windows had arched ends. The central axis of the upper floors was structured by a wide central projectile with a large triumphal arch, which ended at the top with a strong cornice and domed, steep hipped roof. In the triumphal arch of the risalit, stele-shaped caryatids were installed over a gabled triplet window.
