Arable shed

Northern entrance to the Ackerhalle in Invalidenstrasse. 158

The Ackerhalle , historical name Markthalle VI , in the Berlin district of Mitte is one of 14 market halls that the Berlin magistrate had built for retailers between 1886 and 1892, of which only six are preserved today. It is located at Ackerstrasse 23-26 at the corner of Invalidenstrasse 158 in the Oranienburger Vorstadt .

history

The arable hall was built between 1886 and 1888 based on designs by Hermann Blankenstein . After it survived the Second World War unscathed, it was modernized in 1970 by Klaus Pöschk , although the original market hall atmosphere was lost. In 1991 these modernizations were reversed and the market hall was reconstructed according to its original plan.

architecture

Layout

The rectangular market hall is integrated into an inner building block, which is accessible through two head buildings in Ackerstrasse and Invalidenstrasse. These are two-story and each has a high, arched, gabled entrance gate. The neo-renaissance style facades are clad in clinker brick and lavishly decorated with round terracotta panels that have Italian renaissance shapes. A nine-meter-wide thoroughfare leads through the hall itself, which is spanned by a twelve-meter-high central nave with a glazed upper aisle . The market stalls are housed in the side aisles, which are separated by cast-iron pillars, are six meters wide and are lit by shed roofs . Below the hall is a basement that serves as a storage and cooling area.
