Goldhammer Street Tarnów
Monuments
In 1913, Tarnów City Council renamed ul. Zdrojowa street in honor of long-time vice-mayor and attorney, member of local Jewish community, Eliasz Goldhammer.
Before WWII, the street was considered the most prestigious in Jewish section of Tarnów with luxurious Herman Soldinger’s Hotel at No 3 and the Jewish Credit Union’s headquarters, at No 5. The latter hosted post-war seat of the Jewish Religious Community. In 1993, the last shtiebel – Jewish prayer house – located at ul. Goldhammera 1 was closed. Traces of the then-Tarnów can be seen in preserved fragments of an ad at the façade of building No 6, written in Polish and Yiddish.
