The Municipality of Czernowitz came to the decision to demolish the “Old [Jewish] Theater”, later the [Jewish] Worker’s Home at the corner Schulgasse/Türkengasse in the year 1934, as we learn from the August 26, 1934 edition of “Der Tag”. Building ground for the new health insurance head office, followed by the social insurance headquarters.
I hate to say so,but the old building looked decrepit and well past it’s prime,and if the new buiding functions as designed it was probably worth it.
This Krankenkasse (Asigurarea Sociala) building looks impressive ! Very good picture.
The architect who designed it in pure Iternational Style -was he a Czernowitzer?
How does it blend into the urban landscape?
