The Riquet House was built in 1908-1909 as a commercial building and was in turn one of the most modern and original new buildings in Leipzig. The tradition of Riquet dates back to 1745.

The name Riquet is based on a French Huguenot family who emigrated from France. The descendants operated a coffee, tea and spice trade. Later, a cocoa production followed. A fantastic building.
