history
After the redistribution of the areas within the framework of the Hobrecht plan in 1862, an inner block area remained between the residential buildings on Pankstrasse and the embankment of the Ringbahn, which can only be reached via an access road at Richtstrasse 27. The Berlin laundry factory AG, formerly Gebrüder Ritter , founded in 1858 , had a five-storey factory building built here between 1910 and 1912, which forms an elongated inner courtyard. The design was awarded to the architect Martin Punitzer . The factory was built entirely with reinforced concrete , a building material that was new at the time. The strict neoclassical structure has been greatly simplified for structural reasons; there are no differentiating structures or architectural decorations.
Today the building is used by the medical academy of the IB University Berlin, the tax office and various businesses.
A memorial plaque for the owners of the Berliner Linen Factory, Ulla and Moritz Rosenthal, was put up on April 29, 1999 by the Berliner Wasserbetriebe at Neue Jüdenstrasse 1 in Berlin-Mitte .
