Cranachstraße 10 Weimar, building in Weimar, Germany
Cranachstraße 10 in Weimar is a three-story residential building from 1903 designed by architect Rudolf Zapfe, featuring a sloped mansard roof and a corner tower section. The facade is decorated with plaster moldings showing floral patterns and combines simple shapes with artistic details in the Jugendstil style.
The building was constructed in 1903 as a residence and reflects the construction methods and Jugendstil influences of the early 1900s. It is now protected as a heritage monument in Thuringia to preserve this period in Weimar's architectural history.
The house stands on Cranachstraße, a street named after painter Lucas Cranach, and contributes to the artistic identity of the neighborhood. The buildings on this street together show how Weimar's residents lived in the early 1900s and what they valued in architecture and design.
The house is easy to locate on Cranachstraße, which runs between Theodor-Hagen-Weg and Böhlaustraße and is lined with many historic structures. The area is walkable and the monument can be viewed from the outside without requiring any admission.
The corner tower element was a popular design solution in Jugendstil architecture to give houses a more dynamic and individual appearance. This architectural feature shows how builders like Zapfe used small details to endow ordinary residences with artistic character.
