Romanushaus, Baroque palace at Katharinenstrasse and Bruhl intersection, Leipzig, Germany

The Romanushaus features a mansard roof, three floors of varying heights, and thirteen window axes on its north facade toward Bruhl street.

Franz Conrad Romanus, Leipzig's mayor in 1701, constructed this building through fraudulent checks and received 45 years of fortress imprisonment upon discovery.

In 1730, Christiana Mariana von Ziegler established a literature and music salon in the building, attracting notable writers and artists.

The building maintains individual elevator access to reception areas and combines baroque architectural elements with modern office facilities.

A two-story bay window connects the building's north and east facades, with a Hermes statue positioned in the niche beneath.
