Deceased Person
1881 – 1959
Who was Heinrich Mendelssohn?
Heinrich Mendelssohn was a Berlin building tycoon.
Mendelssohn was born in Posen, German Empire today Poznań, Poland in 1881. In cooperation with Albert Heilmann, Mendelssohn constructed the Europahaus in Berlin, which today houses the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development. He emigrated during the Third Reich, and died in Geneva, Switzerland in 1959.
A claimed connection to the family of the famous Jewish philosopher Moses Mendelssohn has not yet been confirmed. He is most likely the father [illegitimately] of the actor Daniel Gerroll whose mother was Heinrich's paramour from 1949 to 1959.
