Romanushaus

On the west side of Leipzig's Sachsenplatz (square), in Katharinenstrasse, is a series of Baroque burghers' houses. The finest of them is the Romanushaus, at the corner of the Brühl. Built by J. G. Fuchs in 1701-04 for Burgomaster F. C. Romanus, this is a four-story house with a finely articulated facade. The Fregehaus was also rebuilt by Fuchs in 1706-07 (reconstructed 1986).
