Wünschmann-Haus, Cultural heritage building in Leipzig, Germany.
The Wünschmann-Haus is a mixed-use building with apartments and commercial spaces located in Leipzig's southern district along Karl-Liebknecht-Strasse. The structure features a prominent domed roof that rises above the surrounding roofline.
Construction took place between 1914 and 1917 when a Commercial Employees Association commissioned the building as a headquarters for their organization. The project emerged during this early 20th-century period of urban growth in Leipzig.
The entrance hall shows ceiling details and glass mosaics created by Leipzig painter Arthur Michaelis, bringing local artistic craftsmanship into the building's interior. These decorative touches remain visible to visitors walking through the space today.
The building sits prominently on a main street in the southern part of the city and is easy to locate from the street. The exterior and roof structure can be appreciated from the public side, while interior access depends on the nature of business operating there.
The domed roof structure houses multiple assembly spaces that made the building function as a gathering place beyond just residential purposes. This multi-purpose design was a notable feature when the building first opened.
