Cold house
The Kalter-Haus is a residential and commercial building in the old town of Munich . It is located in Tal 19 on the corner of Dürnbräugasse. The building is registered as an architectural monument in the Bavarian list of monuments.
history
The building was erected on the site of two previous buildings that were on neighboring properties. As early as 1889, the architect Johann Baptist Grassl, who owned both properties, planned a new building that would span both properties. However, this plan did not materialize. In 1894, the architect and building contractor Ludwig Hermann acquired the double site. With the help of the architect Carl Hermann, he drafted the plans for a residential and commercial building that was built in 1894/95.
Pinkus Kalter, who came from a Jewish family in Poland and had founded a men's clothing store in Rzeszów , moved this store to the newly built house in Tal 19 in 1895. The store name Goldene 19 alluded to the house number on the one hand and to the fact that there on the other no item of clothing cost more than 19 Reichsmarks . The store had branches on Sendlinger Strasse . The originally three shops on the ground floor in the valley were merged into one for Kalter in 1899. In 1901 Pinkus Kalter transferred the business to his son Jakob, who died in 1925 at the age of 45. His widow Eda continued the business and in 1935 had the originally rich neo-baroque stucco on the façade facing the valley, which no longer corresponded to contemporary tastes, greatly simplified.
During the time of National Socialism , some members of the Kalter family emigrated from Germany. Eda Kalter continued to run the business until the pogrom night in 1938 , in which the window panes of the shop were smashed. The Kalter family was expropriated because of their Jewish origins and Eda fled to Amsterdam, where she lived underground until July 1942. Denounced by a neighbor, she was deported to the Auschwitz concentration camp and murdered there.
The house became the property of the company Gustav Lenkeit & Co over. In 1949 it was returned to Max and Ludwig Kalter, the sons of Jakob and Eda Kalter. Ludwig Kalter , who worked in addiction support and founded numerous clinics, set up an emergency telephone number in the house for those at risk of addiction, which still exists today.
Building
The building consists of two parts, the corner house at the corner of Tal / Dürnbräugasse and a wing that adjoins the north along Dürnbräugasse. The corner house is five-storey and extends in an L-shape over an area of around 15 × 17 m. The ground floor is clearly separated from the other floors by a horizontal cornice. The main facade on the valley has six axes, the two central axes on the second and third floors have been replaced by a flat box bay window. The north wing has three floors and is slightly angled to match the course of Dürnbräugasse. In the middle of the ground floor in the valley are the entrances to two shops, the access to the apartments on the upper floors is in Dürnbräugasse.
A sign on the house wall with the inscription "Kalter Haus - Goldene 19 - Tal 19" reminds of the former clothes shop.
