At the western corner of Am Wall/Herdentor/Sögestraße, after initial construction in the 18th century, a three-story new building was constructed in 1880 as a commercial building designed by Heinrich Müller in the historicizing Wilhelminian style. This was the home of the Friedrich Wilhelm(Submitted on June 16, 2025.)Freemasons' Lodge, which was dissolved by the Nazis around 1933. The building was destroyed in the war around 1944.Photographed by Andrew Ruppenstein, May 19, 20252. Geschäftshaus / Commercial Building Marker - wide viewThe marker is visible here just inside the building alcove. A bit of the “Swans in Flight” is also visible on the ceiling of the arcade.
From 1950 to 1951, a four-story new building with a hipped roof was constructed according to plans by Heinz Logemann in the style of functional post-war architecture, with arcades facing the Wall and the Herdentor. "The building has a decidedly classic, traditional appearance," quotes the Weser-Kurier. The client was Allianz Insurance AG. The ceiling of the arcades on the west side is decorated with a fresco of cranes by Felix Uhlig. The sixth floor stands out pleasantly from the building's exterior thanks to its larger glazing.
