Harmelin-Haus, Commercial monument at Nikolaistraße, Leipzig, Germany.
The five-story limestone building stretches 63 meters along Nikolaistraße, featuring multiple bay windows and sculptural decorations across its facade.
Emil Franz Hänsel designed this structure in 1913 for Marcus Harmelin's fur trading company, which operated successfully until forced liquidation in 1939.
The building represents German reform architecture with its detailed limestone carvings, window arches, and intricate relief work characteristic of early 1900s design.
Located at the intersection of Nikolaistraße and Richard-Wagner-Straße, the ground floor contains retail spaces while upper levels house the Medieval Crime Museum.
Archaeological excavations beneath the adjacent construction site revealed original cellars from the former fur trading operations of the Harmelin family business.
