Kalide house, House of a Royal Steelworks official in Chorzów, Poland

The Kalide house is a two-storey rectangular building from before 1802, with two small wings on the west side and an eight-axis facade with two entrances framed by shallow projections. It was built for officials of the Royal Ironworks and is one of the oldest houses in Chorzów.

The house dates from before 1802, part of a Frederick-style colony begun on 31 May 1798 for Royal Steelworks employees, built of slag blocks and larger than the workers' houses. It belonged to the Berg-Hüttenverwaltung Königshütte. Sculptor Theodor Erdmann Kalide was born here on 8 February 1801 and lived here until 1816; his father, works official Johann Gottlieb Kalide, died here on 17 August 1835. The house was entered in the Silesian monument register in 1973.

The street beside the house was renamed Kalidego in 1886, changed to Rogowskiego in 1958, and restored on 10 February 1992. On 8 February 1886, the sculptor's 85th birthday, an iron plaque was mounted on the wall; it was probably removed in 1945. A new memorial plaque, funded by the Stowarzyszenie Miłośników Chorzowa, was placed there on 23 August 1993 with Polish, German and English inscriptions.

The house stands at the corner of ul. 3 Maja and ul. Teodora Kalidego, marked as no. 1 on Kalidego Street. It is a two-storey building with two entrances framed by shallow projections; a courtyard with former pigsties lies to the west. The building is managed by Zakład Komunalny PGM and is not open as a museum, so view the facade and the memorial plaque from the street.

The street beside the house was renamed Kalidegasse in 1886, changed to Rogowskiego in 1958, and only reverted to Kalidego on 10 February 1992. A plaque with Polish, German and English inscriptions was placed on the wall in 1993 for the 130th anniversary of the sculptor's death.
