background

In the 1870s, the industrialization of the east bank of the city began with the expansion and fortification of the bank, the laying of a track for the Flensburg harbor railway and the Hafendamm street . In 1936, a five-storey granary was built on the east bank of the harbor according to plans by the chief engineer Max Schulz from Berlin. This old building was obviously designed in the homeland security style , like the city warehouses to the north . The reinforced concrete building was therefore given a red clinker facing . A late Expressionist main cornice was installed below the hipped roof . The cornice frieze was developed from the German tape . On the north side, the three-storey extension, which is still preserved today, was built at the same time. The address Ballastkai 10 was assigned to the storage building at the time of its construction .

During the Cold War , additional large concrete stores were added to the original ballast quay store (with only 24 silo cells) on the south and north sides. The eight-story, medium-sized silo on the north side and the fifty-meter-high south silo were built around 1973/74. The largest of the storage facilities, the north storage facility, was apparently not built until the end of the 1970s. The silo complex, which emerged step by step, finally dominated the eastern city harbor silhouette as a massive and tall industrial structure. The exact age of the office building Ballastkai 10a to the south is unclear. It apparently originated in the 1960 / 1970s.

Since the 1990s, large parts of the port facilities have apparently no longer been maintained. The city began to plan to redesign the east bank. In the direct, southern neighborhood (Ballastkai 5–9), the Werftkontor building complex was built in 2000–2002 for residential and business purposes. The silo complex is currently still leased by HaGe , which has been a subsidiary of DLG since 2005 . Nevertheless, a conversion and a partial demolition on the part of the Flensburg town hall is being considered. However, the listed building parts of the Ballastkai reservoir are to be retained.
