Budde & Goehde was a company that was based in Berlin and Eberswalde and specialized in items related to sewer systems and gas supplies.
Originally Budde & Goehde only dealt with sewer materials. But after the urban drainage in Berlin was tackled according to plan, they began to manufacture the required products such as pipes, manhole covers, hydrants, but later also radiators, sinks and hotplates themselves. The company was expanded several times by the turn of the century. In 1906 the company had more than 200 employees. At that time it was producing about 7 million tons of cast iron goods.
Tassilo Goehde had worked for Lohmann & Soeding before he teamed up with August Budde.
On the occasion of the company's 50th anniversary, a commemorative publication was published in 1928 under the title Budde & Goehde GmbH Berlin and Eberswalde 1878-1928 by Gerhard Ringel. Two years later, the company went bankrupt in the wake of the global economic crisis .
Berlin
The company, founded in 1878, was based in Berlin on Luisenufer.
In 1889 Budde & Goehde built the first private gas plant in Berlin, the remains of which have been preserved in the Köpenicker Hof .
Eberswalde
The iron foundry on Bergerstrasse in Eberswalde was built in 1884 by Carl Augustini, a Saxon factory owner, and sold to August Budde and Tassilo Goehde in 1886. Up to 200 employees mainly manufactured manhole covers there.
According to the monument topography, the foundry hall is the “dominant focal point in the street scene” and, like the other buildings in the complex, testifies to the “former importance of Bergerstrasse as a preferred industrial and commercial location”. In 1898, Budde & Boehde added a factory building to the complex on the front line of the property, which contained administrative and social rooms on the upper floor. The two-storey building made of yellow bricks has large segmental arched windows on the street side and a flat risalit in the middle , which is emphasized by a decorative gable and paired windows in round arched fields. The corner axes carried tower attachments with curly pyramid helmets. Cornices, lintels and building corners are set off in red. On the east side of the building there was a porter's lodge and the factory gate, which was provided with wrought iron bars.
In 1899 Budde & Goehde expanded their facility again and added the model carpentry and warehouse at the rear of the property. The partly three-, partly two-storey yellow brick building with a flat gable roof bears the address Bergerstrasse 22. Its round-arched windows have roofs and some still have the old, small-scale sprouting. A cornice divides the facade.
Some of the buildings were later used by the beekeeping company Josef Schweier. After that, the area remained unused for a long time. The facility at Bergerstrasse 22, 24, 25 and 26 is now a listed building .

Manhole cover from Budde & Goehde
In 1902, Friedrich König described in great detail the construction of manhole covers that were supposed to withstand heavy traffic: “A perforated cover for viewing manholes, as used in Berlin [...] is provided with a ring of open slots 40 mm wide, the contact surfaces the lid on the cast iron frame are planed. The weight of the cover including the frame and the cladding with oak blocks, including the 3 mm thick dirt sheet inside, is 250 kg. These manhole covers are suitable for all roads with truck traffic; the purpose of the wooden paneling is to alleviate the bumps emanating from the wheels of the wagons [...] The price for these manhole covers, which were purchased from Budde & Goehde in Berlin (Luisenufer 4) and from R. Böcking & Co. ( Hallberger Hütte near Saarbrücken ) is 18 to 20 Mk. for 100 kg. ”König also explained why the frame should be square, but the actual cover should be round: the frame is better to be inserted into the paving of the street, while a round cover is different than a square one could never fall into the shaft, even if handled carelessly.
A manhole cover by Budde & Goehde in Berlin's Chausseestrasse plays a role in a literary work. In her novel Drüben , the author Renate Habets describes its design: “She meant to see the lettering in the outer circle in front of her:“ Budde & Goehde Berlin S ”, and the five-pointed star with the company logo in the middle, surrounded by two closed circles and three openwork. They had worked beautifully in the past. "
Manhole cover in Soest . The company logo in the middle probably represents a double E for "Eisengießerei Eberswalde".
