A three-storey tenement house from 1889, built for a baker, whose corner premises housed a pharmacy shop for decades.
The Paulina and Engelbert Tischner tenement house stands at Piotrkowska 124, opposite the Jakuba Wojdysławskiego Tenement House. The building was erected for the baker Engelbert Tischer, and the property historically extended as far as Nawrot Street, formerly known as Dzika.
The plot at the present number 124 was taken over in 1829 by Christian Friedrich Kiessling, a weaver from Saxony, who was obliged to run a linen and cotton factory. In 1846 Kiessling sold the property to Florian Grottel. The three-storey front tenement house, as seen today, was erected for the baker Engelbert Tischer according to a design by architect Hilary Majewski from 1889.
Engelbert Tischer died in 1927, and his wife Paulina, née Riedel, in 1934. From July 1890 a shop run by Włodzimierz Matatka operated in their tenement house, offering colonial goods and firearms.
Before the apothecary store opened in the corner premises, a restaurant run by I. Bachman operated there in the early 1890s. From the mid-1890s an apothecary store run by Piotr Królikowski, related by marriage to the Tischer family, operated in the corner premises. From around 1910 until the outbreak of the Second World War it was run as an apothecary store by St. Majewski and Co. under the direction of Stanisław Majewski. From at least 1913 onwards, at the address Nawrot 2, which formed part of the same property, Alfred Pippel's photographic equipment and supplies store operated.
Next door stands the Edwarda Heimana Tenement House, and a little further on the Ramiszów Family Tenement House. All three buildings were erected at a similar time, as typical rental housing on Łódź's Piotrkowska Street at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries.
