Kennerów Tenement House (Polish: Kamienica Kennerów) is a tenement house located at 38 Szpitalna Street in Kraków in the District I Old Town.
History
The tenement house with a modernist facade was built between 1910 and 1912, following the demolition of older buildings. It was designed by Kraków architect Teodor Hoffmann.[1] The stairwell features stained-glass windows crafted by Kraków's S. G. Żeleński Stained Glass Workshop, based on a design by Anna Gramatyka-Ostrowska.[2]
This rental tenement once housed establishments such as the Cyganeria Restaurant, opened in the late 1930s. During World War II, it operated as a "Nur für Deutsche" venue. On December 22, 1942, representatives of several Jewish underground organizations jointly carried out a successful attack on the restaurant (killing a Luftwaffe officer and injuring three others).[3] One of the participants in this operation was Yitzhak Zuckerman.[4] A plaque on the building's facade commemorates the attack.
On March 4, 1996, the tenement was entered into the Registry of Cultural Property.[5] It is also entered into the municipal register of monuments of the Lesser Poland Voivodeship.[6]
