history
The building was erected in 1906 in Bahnhofstrasse in the immediate vicinity of Heilbronn train station . The main post office has been located a little further east in Untere Neckarstrasse since 1875. The new building at the train station, the post office No. 2 , was at the train station for logistical reasons, but was not a rail post office .
The representative post office building with tower was built by building officer Erwin Hermann Ockert (1885–1968) as a stone building in the neo-renaissance style. On the ground floor there were spacious counter and check-in halls, on the first floor there were offices and a Morse code room, above which there were servant apartments. The building is extremely elaborately designed with ornamental gables, bay windows, loggias and various architectural decorations. It is one of the few official buildings in the city center that survived the air raids on Heilbronn in the Second World War almost undamaged.
