Bankhaus Mendelssohn & Co.

In the building at Jägerstra&szlig 49/50, which still stands today, Bankhaus Mendelssohn & Co. had its headquarters from 1893 to 1938. The bank was founded in 1795 by Joseph Mendelssohn, the son of Moses and Fromet Mendelssohn, in what was then the family residence at Spandauer Straße 68. After a few stops in between, the bank settled in Jägerstraße. In 1891, the bank acquired the double plot Jägerstra;e 49/50 and had the architects Heino Schmieden and Martin Gropius build a two-story representative headquarters in the neoclassical style. In 1938, the Nazis liquidated the bank. 

The building was used after the Second World War, among others, by the German Foreign Trade Bank of the GDR and the Federal Association of German Pharmacists Associations. Since 2017, the real estate company HGHI Holding has been based here.
