On any map of Cz. you can find Franzensgasse. Rumanian name Str. 11
Noembrie and now 28 Chervnia. The numbers start from the temple to the
north, pair numbers on the right side.
Any map you open at Ehpes maps will show you the street. Or google earth
and go along the street, eventually seeing a Bauhaus. I was only 15 when I
left from very nearby and did not at that time have any interest in
architecture. As a matter of fact, although being a structural engineer
later, I still have not developed that interest.
Be careful that there is no mistake with Franzosgasse. That is another
street some hundreds of meters to the north and to the east from
Franzensgasse.
Both names Zeller and Furmann sound familiar but I have no direct
recollection of them.
