Zigarrenfabrik, Industrial building in Heilbronn, Germany

The Zigarrenfabrik is a long, two-winged brick building at the corner of Weststraße and Achtungstraße in Heilbronn, built in 1909 to plans by architect Heinrich Stroh. It consists of a four-storey head building and a three-storey office block, with decorative brick bands on the outer façade. The factory hall where cigars were made extends westward, and the stair tower projects from the south façade like a risalit. The Weststraße section is numbered 28, the rear Achtungstraße section 37.

The cigar factory was built in 1909 at the corner of Weststraße and Achtungstraße for Anselm Kahn, who had founded a cigar business in Heilbronn in 1900. The architect was Heinrich Stroh, and the building was extended toward Weststraße in 1914. Under the Nazi regime the Jewish-owned firm was "aryanized". After severe damage in World War II it was rebuilt in simplified forms by Erik Beutinger; the company was dissolved in 1962 and the city acquired the building.

The complex shows the long tradition of cigar making in the region, which employed many residents and shaped local craftsmanship. Visitors can still see the spaces where skilled workers passed on their knowledge and quality standards took shape.

The complex at Achtungstraße 33–37 and Weststraße 28 is run by the Zigarre e. V. association as a cultural centre, with a restaurant and the Kunst- und KulturWerkhaus studios and exhibition rooms. The two wings face different streets, so check which entrance you need before setting out.

The building was designed by architect Heinrich Stroh and extended toward Weststraße in 1914. Its owners, the Jewish siblings Anselm, Anselm K. I., Julius and Josef Kahn from Gemmingen, had the company "arisiert" (expropriated) under National Socialism. After severe war damage, Erik Beutinger, son of architect and mayor Emil Beutinger, rebuilt it in simplified forms.
