Architect to Renovate Historic Building in Herrnhut and Open a Café
An architect named Daniel Neuer is set to embark on a new project in Herrnhut, as he plans to renovate the “Haus Elternsegen” (House of Parental Blessings) and transform it into something extraordinary. The building, located on August-Bebel-Straße in Herrnhut, is one of the few remaining structures in the area that has not yet been renovated.
According to Neuer, the House of Parental Blessings holds great potential and captivates him with its unique charm. It is not just any ordinary old building, but one that boasts an intriguing history. The facade of the house features a wooden beam inscribed with the phrase “Haus Elternsegen,” which loosely translates to “House of Parental Blessings.” Interestingly, one of the previous owners of the house was listed in the “Yearbook of Wealth and Income of Millionaires in Berlin” and held the title of General Consul of Haiti.
“This is truly an exciting opportunity,” explains architect Daniel Neuer. He is drawn to the House of Parental Blessings not only because of his inherent love for historic structures but also due to the glamour and extravagance that it once represented. The property still bears traces of the former owner, Berlin-based soap factory magnate Hermann Stobwasser, who left his mark on the Herrnhut family property. Although more than a century has passed since Stobwasser’s time, his influence on the house is still evident. It seems he certainly had ample funds for his ventures.”
