Oppenheim House

The Oppenheim House is a listed baroque house in Breslau at Salzmarkt 4, which was probably built in the 13th century and was fundamentally rebuilt towards the end of the 18th century.

The town house was bought by the banker Heyman Oppenheim in 1810 as a family and business residence. From 1890 to 1940 it was the seat of the Oppenheim Foundation for the poor and needy of the Jewish community in Wroclaw through the foundation of Baroness Julie von Cohn-Oppenheim, the wife of Ferdinand Oppenheim (grandson of Heymann Oppenheim). In 1940 the house was confiscated by the Nazi regime. Four Jewish residents of the house were deported from Breslau in 1940/1941 and murdered. From 1945 the town house served as the municipal residence of the city of Wrocław. It has been owned by the non-profit Oppenheim Haus gSE, OP ENHEIM since 2013.

From 2017, there will be exhibition rooms, the headquarters of OP ENHEIM, a multifunctional conference room with terrace, a restaurant, an artist residence and offices inside the Oppenheim-Haus. The house will be open to the residents of Wroclaw and serve as the seat of cultural and scientific institutions and economic institutions. The main focus will be on cultural and artistic projects such as exhibitions, while promoting Polish-German dialogue and international exchange. The art salon on the first floor will be looked after by well-known and respected curators from Berlin and Breslau.

The project for the modernization, conversion and extension of the historic tenement house was carried out by the Major Architekci architectural office and is carried out in close cooperation with German and Polish restorers and monument protection organizations.

The renovation and restoration work on the baroque house began at the beginning of summer 2016 and is expected to last until winter 2017/2018.
