history
In 1856, the Wroclaw businessman Karl Gebhardt bought the property on Niarednia Street, now Pomorska Street. In the following four years he built a palace with two side outbuildings, a printing shop and stable buildings. In 1861 Gebhardt sold his property to Vodislav Kochanovsky. The property was later taken over by the Tsarist army , which was stationed there during the January Uprising .
In 1866 the property was auctioned and came into the possession of the Jewish trader Israel Ginsberg from Warsaw , who five years later sold it to the Handelsbank (Polish: Handlowy Bank). The palace was rebuilt in the neo-renaissance style and an exchange office for customers was created on the ground floor, as well as offices and an administration room on the first floor. The bank stayed until it moved in 1913. In 1918 the palace was bought by the couple Adela and Herman Greinshpan and auctioned off after Herman Greinshpan's death in 1932.
After several years without a buyer, the Jewish community in Lodz acquired the property in 1936 and the palace became the seat of the rabbinate and the board of directors of the Jewish community.
During the Second World War it was confiscated by the Germans. After the liberation of the city by the Soviet army and the establishment of the People's Republic of Poland , the building was used by the University of Łódź , which established the Faculty of Chemistry and Physics there.
In 1997 the palace was handed over to the Jewish community. It is used for Jewish institutions and foundations and also houses a hotel and other offices.
