Riquethaus by Paul Lange, 1909
Schuhmachergäßchen
Leipzig, September 2024
“The Riquet is one of the few remaining coffee houses in the city center and impresses with a mix of Art Nouveau and Chinese architecture. The former commercial building was built in 1908 and 1909 on behalf of the company Riquet & Co. and was one of the most modern and original new buildings in Leipzig at the time. The two copper-embossed elephant heads that flank the entrance door to the coffee house are the trademark of the Riquet company. Since the restoration, you can once again admire the listed interior of the corner shop in all its beauty.” (Kaffeehaus Riquet, Leipzig Travel)
