The "Kornhaus" (granary) on the north-west side of the Cathedral Square (Münsterplatz) in Freiburg was built in 1498 as a place to hold dances and to store and sell grains. During centuries it was also a slaughterhouse and later a theatre here. In 1944, the Kornhaus was destroyed down to the ground walls buy heavy raids. It was rebuilt in its original form (1969-71) under the direction of the architect Herbert Dörr.
The building of Kornhaus appeared in 1949 on one of the stamps dedicated to to the reconstruction of city Freiburg im Breisgau after heavy raids during WW 2. Freiburg was then part of French occupied zone.
