Berolzheimerianum

Short facts

  • Fürth

The Berolzheimerianum is a wonderful example of Art Nouveau architecture in Fürth

The building’s distinctive character is defined by a variety of window shapes, while the striking gable on the south side seamlessly integrates the flowing lines of Art Nouveau into the overall architecture of the building.

In 1904, Heinrich Berolzheimer, a Jewish pencil manufacturer and honorary citizen of the city of Fürth, commissioned the construction of this impressive building. For many decades, it served as a centre for public education and as a library, providing access to education and literature for workers. Among them was Hans Böckler, one of the founders of the German Trade Union Confederation.

The building has since been fully renovated and now houses the Comödie Fürth, a venue for numerous events.

The theatre accommodates 380 guests in the Great Hall on the upper floor, and 80 seats in the so-called Lachsalon on the ground floor. The building also houses the Grüner Brauhaus restaurant, named after the Fürth beer, as well as a bar and a summer garden.
