Grätzelhaus

The Grätzelhaus at the Goetheallee is the biggest baroque-style building in Göttingen, Germany. It is named after the textile maker Johann Heinrich Grätzel born 1691 who fastly became the most important entrepreneur of the city. It has mighty columns and is decorated with Athena (for science) and Hermes (for trading).

Some elements from the building and especially of the interior can be found in the Städtisches Museum. In the 19th century the Hotel National was located here and later some restaurants (recently the Kartoffelhaus and Mr. Jones, the latter now closed) used the building.
