Essighaus, Renaissance merchant house in Mitte, Germany
The Essighaus features restored lower facade elements with projecting bay windows, representing the architectural style of wealthy Bremen merchants from 1618.
Named after a 19th-century vinegar factory, the building suffered extensive damage during World War II bombings in 1943, leaving only its ground floor intact.
The structure combined residential quarters with commercial spaces, following the traditional layout of Bremen merchant houses during the Renaissance period.
Deutsche Factoring Bank operates in the reconstructed building, which received architectural updates by Wilhelm Wortmann and Erik Schott in 1956.
Psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud experienced a notable fainting spell at this location in 1909, an incident documented by his student Carl Jung.
