Robinson Crusoe-House
Robinson Crusoe House, 1931, was the last house on the street to be built. It was built according to the plans of Karl von Weihe and Ludwig Roselius. For Roselius, the
character of Robinson Crusoe, in the novel by Daniel Dafoe, embodied a Hanseatic
pioneering spirit and boundless energy.
The hall on the ground floor of the house was first used for the presentation of Kaba, a German cocoa product. The other rooms served as the home to ‘Club zu Bremen’ until all was destroyed in 1944. Although reconstructed in 1954, it is only in the stairway where the history of Robinson Crusoe can be admired in carved wooden panels by Theodor Schultz-Walbaum.
Today Robinson Crusoe House holds Crusoe Hall (where changing exhibits are shown), offices, and apartments.
