Heinrich Mendelssohn

Heinrich Mendelssohn (21 February 1881 – 7 August 1959) was a German contractor and real estate developer.

[citation needed] A claimed connection to the family of the famous Jewish philosopher Moses Mendelssohn has not yet been confirmed.

[citation needed] He is most likely the father [illegitimately] of the British actor Daniel Gerroll, whose mother was Heinrich's paramour from 1949 to 1959.

[citation needed] Mendelssohn participated in the construction and development of numerous projects located in Berlin, i.e: the Hansaviertel, the Bavarian quarter, the Kurfürstendamm and the Olivaer Platz.

He was also behind a development of the skyscraper at the Anhalter Station in Berlin which was named after the Saxon royal family.
