history

In the years 1906 to 1908 (on the building in 1907 and 1909), the Leipzig architect and building contractor Max Pommer (1847–1915) built a house on Windmühlenweg (since 1926 Philipp-Rosenthal-Straße) with a passage to two commercial buildings in the courtyard. The architectural decorations on the street facade were designed by the Leipzig sculptor Josef Mágr (1861–1924).

In contrast to its right-wing neighbor, the house was spared from destruction during the Second World War . The structural deterioration during the GDR era was remedied by a reconstruction after the reunification of Germany , so that it shines in its old splendor.

The two commercial buildings in the courtyard, both reinforced concrete buildings , formerly served as publishing houses. You now have access from Paul-List-Straße (No. 24 and 26) and include hotel apartments.
