GOTHAER MULTI-STOREY HOUSE
The Gothaer-Haus in Lüdenscheid was built between 1973 and 1974 and has been a prominent feature of the city centre ever since. Designed by Lüdenscheid architect Rolf Miekeley, it was built as part of the comprehensive redesign of Lüdenscheid’s city centre, which became known as the ‘Tunnel and Town Hall Project’ in the early 1970s. Originally referred to as the ‘Querriegel’, the name ‘Gothaer-Haus’ was later established, named after the investor, Gothaer Versicherungsbank Göttingen. The high-rise complex combined various uses under one roof: shops, office space, doctors’ surgeries and residential units. Over the years, it has housed various shops and facilities such as a kiosk, a pharmacy, a dry cleaner, a hairdresser, a kebab grill, a discotheque and a cinema.
