Otto-Neururer-Haus, Heritage monument in Weimar, Germany.
The Otto-Neururer-Haus at Paul-Schneider-Straße 5 in Weimar is the youth and senior centre of the Roman Catholic Herz-Jesu parish in the Erfurt diocese. The building was erected in 1920 as a Catholic school and belongs to the listed ensemble of Paul-Schneider-Straße, whose odd numbers 1–21 and even numbers 2–28 form a heritage ensemble of the south-western town extension.
The building was constructed in the 1920s when Weimar was a hub of new architectural and design ideas. This period marked a turning point where traditional building methods began to give way to industrial production and simplified forms.
The house is named after Otto Neururer, an Austrian Catholic priest killed in Buchenwald in 1940 and beatified in 1996; the name was given at the re-dedication on 2 June 2002. It belongs to the Herz-Jesu parish and serves as its youth and senior centre, continuing a use of the building for parish groups that began after 1945 with children's catechesis and a parish library.
The building is located in a residential neighborhood of Weimar and is easy to reach when exploring the city on foot. It helps to visit the area during daytime to see the architectural details in full light.
The building is part of the listed ensemble Paul-Schneider-Straße 1–21 and 2–28, recorded in Weimar's register of cultural monuments for the southwestern town extension. Its name honours Otto Neururer, an Austrian priest killed in Buchenwald in 1940 and beatified in 1996; the house received it at the re-dedication on 2 June 2002.
