“The First Such Liberal Undertaking in Breslau”: The Breslau Competition for the Design of the New Exchange Building in 1863
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The Neo-Gothic Exchange Building in Wrocław (15 Krupnicza Street) was erected in the years 1864–1867. It can be considered as one of the most interesting works, both in terms of architecture and style, which were built in Central Europe until the 1870s. Its final form was created as a result of a thorough transformation of the competition design (“nur deutsch” motto) by the Breslau architect Carl Johann Bogislav Lüdecke (1826–1894), who won second award. The all-German competition, announced in October 1863 and decided in March 1864, was one of the most interesting artistic undertakings in Silesia in the third quarter of the 19th century. It was described in the Breslau press as “the first such liberal undertaking”. Twenty-six designs were submitted for it. They were shown at an exhibition open to the general public, and some of them were thoroughly discussed in the press. The aim of the article is to present the context of the competition, which takes place against the background of the conflict between Christian and Jewish merchants in Breslau, and to discuss and analyse the competition designs. It was proposed that a new attribution be made to the part of these projects stored in the Lüdecke’s legacy at the Architekturmuseum der Technischen Universität in Berlin.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
