Residence

The two Ansbacher families lived in this house from 1932: the Fritz Nathan Ansbacher family and the Guido (Gustav Ansbacher) family with their children. The Ansbacher family ran the textile house "M. and W. Ansbacher", first in the old town and later on the Isargestade. The family originally came from Leutershausen near Ansbach and moved to Landshut in the fall of 1932, which they knew through business contacts and where anti-Semitism was not as great as in the Ansbach area.

The literary scholar, Marxist philosopher and Communist Party functionary Georg Lukács lived in this place from 1945 until his death.

As early as December 1944, Georg Lukács went to Budapest, where he received a professorship in aesthetics and cultural philosophy at the University of Budapest. His students founded the so-called Budapest School - a separate current of Hungarian Marxism that had broken with real existing socialism and was committed to a "radical humanism" as an answer to Stalinism. Among them was the world-renowned philosopher Ágnes Heller.
