Capa-Haus, Historical building in Lindenau, Leipzig, Germany.

The four-story Capa-Haus stands at Jahnallee 61, featuring elements of Jugendstil, Baroque, and Renaissance architectural styles in its facade design.

War photographer Robert Capa captured images of American soldier Raymond J. Bowman's death at this location on April 18, 1945, during Leipzig's liberation.

The building houses an exhibition room dedicated to World War II events, presenting photographs and documents about Robert Capa's wartime documentation.

The memorial site in the former Café Eigler reopened on July 1, 2023, with CAPA Culture organizing regular exhibitions and cultural events.

The restoration of Capa-Haus in 2016 received the Bernhard-Remmers-Prize for its preservation efforts, transforming it into part of Palmengarten-Palais complex.
