location

The fire station is located at Halberstädter Straße 140 in the Sudenburg district of Magdeburg on the northeast side of Ambrosiusplatz .

Architecture and history

The building was built in 1897, according to other sources in 1896, in the neo-renaissance style. After the guard in Brandenburger Strasse, it was the second fire station of the Magdeburg professional fire brigade founded in 1872 . The commissioning took place on July 28th, 1897. The equipment initially consisted of a hand-operated pressure sprayer , a water truck and the associated horse and carts.

The two- to three-storey plastered building has three large entrances in its middle part through which the fire engines moved out. On the facade of the south-eastern part, which is intended as a team and administration wing, there are two small triangular bay windows in the outermost window axes of the top floor. This wing also served as a structural addition to the Sudenburg Town Hall, which adjoins it to the southeast . The town hall and a people's kitchen were housed here. The window openings of the guard are spanned with segmental arches. The entrance portal has a skylight.

The fire-fighting train stationed in the station called Feuerwache II was still drawn by horses until 1923 and then motorized. An earlier conversion that was actually planned could not take place due to the effects of the First World War . The construction of a new guard for Sudenburg at the corner of Halberstädter Strasse and Südring was actually planned, but ultimately it did not take place. There were also concrete plans to close the fire station completely due to lack of funds. Protests by the Sudenburg population and resistance from factions in the Magdeburg city council prevented these plans in the 1920s.

On February 1, 1963, the use as a fire station was given up. The building then served as a workshop for the district headquarters of the People's Police for portable pumps . From 1968 the fire brigade training command for the Magdeburg district existed in the building . Until 1990, the training and further education of management cadres, group leaders, machinists and equipment maintenance took place here for the professional as well as for volunteer and company fire departments. The house was empty between 1990 and 1995.

In September 1995 the building was used for cultural purposes. Initially, the socio-cultural center was demolished temporarily. In 1997, the Podium Aller Kleine Künste (PAKK eV) association took over the operation of the hotel, which was still owned by the City of Magdeburg. The building was renovated from October 1999 to May 2000.

In May 2000, the existing since 1979 and from 1984 to 2000 drew in the Halberstädter Straße 119 based gallery South also in the fire station. Around 2011 an elevator was integrated into the building to enable barrier-free access.

The fire station is listed in the local monument register under registration number 094 76719 as a monument .

The building is considered an example of a Wilhelminian- era technical functional building and is significant for the history of the district of Sudenburg. In addition, it is formative for the adjacent Ambrosiusplatz and thus of urban development importance.
