*The Weichmann Textile House was built during the Summers of 1921 and 1922 . It was never referred to as Weichmann Textile House from its completion in Summer 1922 until its closing in 1943. Rather it was founded under the name Seidenhaus Weichmann (“[[Silk]] House Weichmann) by a Jewish [[World War I|WWI]] veteran, Erwin Weichmann(1891–1976), who had been awarded the [[Iron Cross|Iron Cross 2nd Class]] by Germany. Erwin Weichmann a long time friend of [[Erich Mendelsohn]], commissioned the [[architect]] to design Seidenhaus Weichmann. Today a monument can be seen near the entrance to the bank, that now occupies the building. Seidenhaus Weichmann is a two-floor structure. The second floor was initially a bachelor's pad for Erwin Weichmann, as he did not marry until 1930. In 1936 the newly created [[Nuremberg Laws]] forced Erwin Weichmann to sell Seidenhaus Weichmann and move temporarily to Hindenberg ([[Zabrze]]) before emigrating to the [[United States]] in July 1938. The individual, who had purchased Seidenhaus Weichmann in 1936, never saw a profit, as the economic strain of [[World War II|WWII]] severely reduced the market demand for nonessentials, which included the fine imported silks of sold by Seidenhaus Weichmann. Then in 1943, the purchaser of Seidenhaus was killed in an [[Allied bombing of Germany|Allied bombing raid]], which marked the end of Seidenhaus Weichmann.
