Kachelhaus, Heritage monument in downtown Bielefeld, Germany

The green-tiled facade of Kachelhaus adorns both street sides with continuous shop windows and features a circular corner bay above the entrance.

Constructed in 1927 by architect Paul Löwenthal for grocer Wilhelm Harms, the building maintained its original structure through World War II without damage.

The building displays ceramic tiles manufactured in Meissen, with an inscription on its facade telling the story of its construction and costs.

The ground floor of Kachelhaus, spanning 200 square meters, now houses a cafe that incorporates the original interior furnishings.

The building introduced advanced features for its time, including neon lighting and a cooling system, setting new standards for commercial architecture.
