48°35′25″N 7°46′06″E / 48.59028°N 7.76833°E / 48.59028; 7.76833The House on 56, Allée de la Robertsau is an Art Nouveau building in the Neustadt district of Strasbourg, France. It is classified as a Monument historique by the French Ministry of Culture since 1975.[1]
The house was built from 1902 until 1903 by the architects Franz Lütke (1860–1929) and Heinrich Backes (1866–1931) for the master baker Georges Cromer.[2] It is considered as one of the most representative buildings of the Strasbourg brand of Art Nouveau architecture, influenced both by German and by French stylistic tendencies.[3]
Lütke and Backes were professional partners from 1898 until 1907. A very prolific duo, they built a number of other Art Nouveau houses in Strasbourg, of which several are classified as Monuments historiques as well (such as 46, Avenue des Vosges; 22, Rue du Général de Castelnau; 4, Rue Erckmann-Chatrian; and 24, Rue Twinger).[4]
