From 1911 onwards, the city tram ran along Bleichstra\u00dfe, which had been named after the historic bleaching meadows once located there. In earlier times, the riverside meadows south of the city\u2014between the Nagold, Metzelgraben, and Bleichstra\u00dfe\u2014were used for bleaching laundry. The textile industry\u2019s growing need for bleaching and dyeing agents led to the establishment of a \u201cSalmiak works\u201d on the outer Bleichstra\u00dfe in 1804, which was acquired in 1823 by Johann A. Benckiser and expanded into a chemical factory.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0Today, anyone walking along Pforzheim\u2019s Bleichstra\u00dfe is inevitably drawn to a striking building complex, remarkable for its colorful brick fa\u00e7ade, glazed surfaces, and ornate details: the Kollmar &amp; Jordan House. Once a bustling center of jewelry production, it has since been transformed into a place of culture, education, and memory\u2014a building that fascinatingly bridges past and present.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-d9adbd2 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"d9adbd2\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-fb2a9e8\" data-id=\"fb2a9e8\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b7c08b5 carousel-dots-yes carousel-arrow-shape-default elementor-widget elementor-widget-slideshow-carousel\" data-id=\"b7c08b5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"slideshow-carousel.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gridblock-owlcarousel-wrap clearfix\"><div id=\"8431-69ec7f71124dc\" class=\"owl-carousel owl-slideshow-element owl-carousel-detect owl-carousel-type-slideshow\" data-autoplaytimeout=\"5000\" data-smartspeed=\"1000\" data-id=\"8431-69ec7f71124dc\" data-autoplay=\"false\" data-lazyload=\"false\" data-type=\"slideshow\"><div class=\"gridblock-slideshow-element\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/guidogrohmann.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/guido-grohmann-pforzheim-kollmar-jordan-haus-04-web.jpg\" alt=\"Kollmar &amp; Jordan House\" class=\"owl-slide-image\"\/><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-2306509 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"2306509\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-9eb03c5\" data-id=\"9eb03c5\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-acd63f8 elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"acd63f8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeIn&quot;,&quot;_animation_delay&quot;:300}\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2>From Jewelry Factory to Cultural Monument<\/h2><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The story of the house begins in the late 19th century. Entrepreneurs Emil Kollmar and Wilhelm Jourdan founded their jewelry and watch chain factory, Kollmar &amp; Jourdan AG, in 1885, which quickly grew into one of Germany\u2019s most significant jewelry manufacturers. To meet the demands of its expanding production, a factory complex was built between 1901 and 1910 along Bleich-, Hans-Meid-, Kallhardt-, and Schie\u00dfhausstra\u00dfe, designed as a steel-frame structure. Architect Hermann Walder created a complex that combined industrial functionality with artistic ambition\u2014a hallmark of the era in which Pforzheim, the \u201cGolden City,\u201d earned international renown. At times, more than 1,000 employees worked here.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The corner building at Bleichstra\u00dfe 77 was added in 1922, also designed by Hermann Walder\u2019s Karlsruhe office, serving as an office building for the jewelry and watch chain factory. A bridge connected it directly to the factory complex. The fa\u00e7ade is adorned with five busts decorated with jewelry, each symbolizing one of the world\u2019s continents\u2014an allegory of the company\u2019s global business relations, which extended as far as the Russian Empire and South America.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-5b630c8 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"5b630c8\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-a3dc238\" data-id=\"a3dc238\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3f7a5f8 carousel-dots-yes carousel-arrow-shape-default elementor-widget elementor-widget-slideshow-carousel\" data-id=\"3f7a5f8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"slideshow-carousel.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gridblock-owlcarousel-wrap clearfix\"><div id=\"8431-69ec7f7113563\" class=\"owl-carousel owl-slideshow-element owl-carousel-detect owl-carousel-type-slideshow\" data-autoplaytimeout=\"5000\" data-smartspeed=\"1000\" data-id=\"8431-69ec7f7113563\" data-autoplay=\"false\" data-lazyload=\"false\" data-type=\"slideshow\"><div class=\"gridblock-slideshow-element\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/guidogrohmann.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/guido-grohmann-pforzheim-kollmar-jordan-haus-02-web.jpg\" alt=\"Kollmar &amp; Jordan House\" class=\"owl-slide-image\"\/><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-877e3c6 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"877e3c6\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-110143e\" data-id=\"110143e\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6ed06bc elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6ed06bc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeIn&quot;,&quot;_animation_delay&quot;:300}\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2>Art Nouveau Meets Industrial Architecture<\/h2><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Architecturally, the building is immediately eye-catching: green-glazed bricks, white structural elements, and reddish-brown accents.

The Kollmar &amp; Jourdan House survived partially, but its northeastern wing along Hans-Meid- and Kallhardtstra\u00dfe was almost completely destroyed. Crowning corner towers, gables, and roofs also fell victim to the bombs. Reconstruction began under Max Kollmar after the war and was completed by 1949, though in a much more functional form: flat roofs and staggered stories replaced the original steep roofs, corner towers, and gables.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The golden years, however, were over. In 1977, the Kollmar &amp; Jourdan jewelry and watch chain factory went bankrupt and was liquidated. Fortunately, the value of the building was recognized: in 1978 it was placed under historic preservation, and in the following decades it was adapted for new uses.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-f0ee478 elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"f0ee478\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-e2bd52b\" data-id=\"e2bd52b\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bb339d5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"bb339d5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1152\" src=\"http:\/\/guidogrohmann.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/guido-grohmann-pforzheim-kollmar-jordan-haus-03-web-768x1152.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium_large size-medium_large wp-image-8435\" alt=\"Kollmar &amp; Jordan House\" srcset=\"http:\/\/guidogrohmann.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/guido-grohmann-pforzheim-kollmar-jordan-haus-03-web-768x1152.jpg 768w, http:\/\/guidogrohmann.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/guido-grohmann-pforzheim-kollmar-jordan-haus-03-web-200x300.jpg 200w, http:\/\/guidogrohmann.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/guido-grohmann-pforzheim-kollmar-jordan-haus-03-web-683x1024.jpg 683w, http:\/\/guidogrohmann.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/guido-grohmann-pforzheim-kollmar-jordan-haus-03-web-800x1200.jpg 800w, http:\/\/guidogrohmann.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/guido-grohmann-pforzheim-kollmar-jordan-haus-03-web.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-aa6408a elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"aa6408a\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-81c15b1\" data-id=\"81c15b1\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-90c2277 elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"90c2277\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeIn&quot;,&quot;_animation_delay&quot;:300}\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2>Today: Culture, Learning, and Exchange<\/h2><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Today, the house is as lively as ever\u2014though in a very different way. Beginning in 2012, the building was renovated and converted into a commercial property. The northern wing now houses the Technical Museum of Pforzheim\u2019s Jewelry and Watch Industry, redesigned in 2017, which vividly documents the city\u2019s industrial past. Historic machines still stand in the former production halls, bearing witness to the labor of generations. The upper floors of the former factory are now home to the Pforzheim Gallery and the Carlo Schmid School, along with offices and studios.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.technisches-museum.de\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Technische Museum der Pforzheimer Schmuck- und Uhrenindustrie<\/a> is particularly impressive, showcasing a collection of historical machinery. Across 18 stations, visitors can experience production steps and techniques typical of Pforzheim\u2019s jewelry industry. Rather than representing a single historic factory, the machines come from various companies and periods. Some factories specialized in specific processes, while others offered a deep vertical integration, covering numerous stages of production.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element
