The Weichmann Textile House (Seidenhaus Weichmann), ul. Zwycięstwa 37.

Design: Erich Mendelsohn (1887 – 1953)

Built between 1921 and 1922, it is an example of Expressionist architecture and served as the original model for Mendelsohn’s later department stores. Its name derives from the first owner – the merchant Erich Weichmann – and from the type of goods sold there: high-quality textile products.
