Thomaskirchhof 22, Cultural heritage monument and bank building in Leipzig, Germany.
The building at Thomaskirchhof 22 is a three-part structure that shapes the historic center of Leipzig with its decorative design. It features ornate corner pilasters, squat turrets, and a crowned tower bay that rises above the central pediment and visually dominates the composition.
The building was constructed between 1902 and 1904 as a department store focused on women's clothing. It later served different commercial and industrial owners before becoming a bank in the 1990s.
The entrance facade displays two restored allegorical reliefs showing pride and excess, which were removed during World War II metal collections. These figures remain a distinctive part of the building's appearance and reflect its early purpose.
The building entrance is clearly visible from the street and easy to locate. Visitors can access it on weekdays, as regular business hours are maintained from Monday through Friday.
The building served as an administrative center for a major German chemical company in the 1930s. This period shaped its function for several decades under different names until it became what it is today.
