Max Zweininger Building
The Tenement Max Zweininger is a building located in Bydgoszcz at 2 Foch Street, in the corner with Gdańska Street.
History
The house was built between 1901 and 1902 for Max Zweininger, the owner of a famous hat manufactory in Bromberg,[1] located on the square.[2] The building was designed by local architect Karl Bergner on the site of an earlier building from the first half of the 19th century. On the ground floor were established shops, including hats and furs retailers.
In 1910–1911, Max Zweininger had his own department store built by Fritz Weidner, one of the leading architects in Bydgoszcz. The building still stands today at 4 Theater Square.[3]
During interwar period a confectionery shop took the place of the composition of a cigars maker workshop.
In 1940, a ground floor arcade has been added, designed by Jan Kossowski,[4] who also built the Monument on Freedom Square.
