The Hermann Wagner House (Casa Hermann Wagner) is a historic townhouse on Strada Tipografilor in the historic center of Sibiu, formed from several older buildings and substantially remodeled during the 19th century. Its earliest surviving fabric dates from the 16th century, when the property belonged to the Teutsch family.
One of the most important features of the earlier house no longer stands here. In 1552, stonemason Thomas Lapicida created a Renaissance doorway for the property, decorated in the style that was spreading through Sibiu’s wealthier homes during the period. The doorway was later removed and is now preserved at the Brukenthal National Museum, where it survives as one of the clearest traces of the house’s 16th-century appearance.
The present building took shape largely between 1850 and 1875, when older houses on the site were altered and combined into a single long property. Its street façade stretches across eleven upper-floor bays with simple rectangular windows and adjustable wooden shutters, while the steep roof is broken by four characteristic eye-shaped dormers. A broad arched passage gives access through the ground floor to the interior of the property.
