A tenement on Piotrkowska, now part of the Łódź City Hall complex, was built in 1891 for Juliusz Heinzel's company.
A historic tenement house at Piotrkowska 106 is one of the historic buildings on Łódź's main street, now part of the Łódź City Hall complex. It was built in 1891 according to a design by Hilary Majewski, commissioned by the Joint Stock Society of Cotton Manufactures of Juliusz Heinzl. Previously, the plot belonged successively to the Simpt families, then master weaver August Mildes and Jan Otto Dietze.
In the interwar period, the building housed offices of silk mills belonging to Fryderyk Klinge and Robert Schulz, Leopold Landau's trading and dispatch house, the editorial office and administration of the "Głos Polski" [Polish Voice] publishing house, and Leon Grzybowski's tailoring salon. The Klinge and Schulz silk mills came to Łódź from Krefeld in the Rhineland, and in the early 20th century they also opened their own factory at the former Kątna Street 16-22, on the site where a Lidl supermarket now stands at aleja Politechniki 30a.
The building is part of the Łódź City Hall complex, like the neighbouring Pałac Juliusza Heinzla. From its window, the Łódź hejnał [trumpet call] sounds every day at 12:00.
