  Tenement at No.2 corner with Pomorska Street No.1
  1884, by Karl Bergner
  Eclecticism
  This corner house has been commissioned by Mr Jäfel, a lithograph. In 1908, a drugstore run by Dr Aurel Kratz opened there: it was also selling goods for cameras until World War I. Aurel Kratz then moved to Friedrichstraße.
  The building has a triangular footprint plot, a challenge for the designer. It displays a nice bay window on the corner facade. The first floor windows, around the bay-window are more adorned than others with flanking pilasters topped with corbels and a frieze of ornaments. Second floors windows are capped by triangular pediments and have also small corbels and pilasters. Third level openings are only flanked by lean pilasters and pediment topped. A line of designed corbels runs beneath the roof.
  Tenement at No.3
  1893-1894, by Carl Stampehl
  Historicism
  Eduard Merres, an instrument craftsman for surgery, nursery and optics, was the first owner of the house, then located at Bahnhoffstraße 2. In 1907, the new owner was Mr. Conitzer, a businessman member of the very family running at that time the neighbouring department store.
  The facade has been restored in 2015, giving more sharpness to all the different details. It is almost a classical one, but for the asymmetry: on first level, one notices heavily adorned windows (triangle pediments, pilasters with consoles, the second floor is less decorated and topped by a dense Corbel table. The gate axis is stressed by a monumental balcony and a smaller one above. The entry door transom light is crowned by a delicately carved female figure. 
  Tenement at No.4
  1887, by Józef Święcicki and Anton Hoffmann
  Eclecticism
  Julius and Herß Krojanter, were the first owners of the house at Bahnhoffstraße 97: they were cereals merchants
  and had their counter in the building. In the 1920s, the tenement housed a kitchenware shop, A. Hensel".
  The facade lost all its original adornments during renovation. However, the row of square windows on the top witnesses the original Neoclassical features. 
  Tenement at No.5
  Mid-19th century
  Eclecticism
  Amelie Sieg, a rentier and widow of a mason, was the first owner of the tenement in the 1870s. From the 1900s (decade) till World War I, the new owner, Ernst Knitter, was a merchant selling kitchenware and ironmongery.
  The elevation has been renovated in 2015, underlying the delicacy of the ornamentation: the front pediment, the gate frame with its two facing figures, the pilasters and the corbel table.
  Tenement at No.6
  ca 1875-1900
  Neoclassicism
  A baker, Wilhelm ßiehl, was the first landlord of the house in 1869, which address was then Bahnhoffstraße 96. He lived there until the start of World War I.
  The facade displays Neoclassical elements: symmetry, smooth wall, ornamented windows for each floor, small openings at the top of the elevation, topped with a corbel table, and a small stone balcony.
  Tenement at No.7
  ca 1875-1900
  Eclecticism & Neoclassicism
  Gabriel Czalla was the first owner of the house at Bahnhoffstraße 4
  The symmetrical facade lost its initial ornaments during the 20th century. However, one can still appreciate the overall disposition, with the slight avant-corps underlining the axis of the entry gate, flanked by high pilasters continuing to the first floor.
  Tenement at No.10
  1885-1886
  Neoclassicism
  Initially registered at Bahnhoffstraße 95, the first owner was a merchant, Gustav Wollenberg, who lived at today's Gdańska Street 12 (Danzigerstraße 164).
  The facade has been rebuilt in 1935, the entire building refurbished in 2016. Nice motifs have been brought back to life, such as cartouches with mustached figures or ornaments on corbels and pediments.
