German House in Chernivtsi

The building stands out due to its elements of Gothic facade, which were reinterpreted in the spirit of secession. Here used to be cafe and restaurant. There is a carriage race where used to be magnificent garden and spacious ground where “frauen” were dancing with their beaus to the romantic melodies of the brass band. German House was the center of culture and active social life not only for Bukovinian Germans but also for other nationalities that lived here. Different cultural and entertainment events attracted people here. They had a good time there, get to know each other, communicate, rest and look at the beautiful building of German House. At that time there were bank, printing house, where different book, brochures, newspapers and magazines were printed, for example popular at that time newspaper “German diary”.
