The business-house building for the Seidenhaus Koopmann in Bremen was designed by architects Heinrich Wilhelm Behrens and Friedrich Neumark from 1910 to 1911. The powerful, six-storey building with a mezzanine floor and a hipped roof has, as construction of the eclecticism different style elements such as the neoclassical ionic colonnade in fifth floor or the neo-Romanesque arched windows.

The structure survived the Second World War almost undamaged.

The client was the businessman Siegfried Meyer († 1935) as owner of the Seidenhaus Koopmann clothing store . Meyer was also head of the Israelite Congregation in Bremen from 1916 to 1924 . His business went bankrupt in 1931 .
