Frank-Loebsches Haus

Frank-Loebsches Haus is a three-story cultural heritage building in Landau with arcaded passageways and a Renaissance staircase tower at Kaufhausgasse 9. The structure houses exhibition spaces about Jewish history as well as offices of academic institutions within its rooms.

The building belonged to Zacharias Frank, Anne Frank's great-grandfather, during the 19th century. It later served as a designated Jewish residence in the 1930s before becoming an exhibition and office space today.

The upper floor displays exhibits on the Jewish community's history through photographs, documents, and religious furnishings from the synagogue. Visitors can walk through spaces that tell the story of how this community lived and worshipped over centuries.

The building sits centrally on Kaufhausgasse and is easily accessible on foot from the historic city center. Visitors should know that the upper floors contain exhibition spaces and stairs are needed to explore them.

The building shares its space with the Frank-Loeb Institute and university offices, showing how a historical site continues to function as a living educational center. This blend of museum and academic use makes it a notable example of how past and present coexist under one roof.
