The Flottmann-Hallen are a culture and event center in Herne , Straße des Bohrhammers 5, and part of the Route of Industrial Culture .

history

The Flottmann halls were planned and built in 1908 as a production facility for the Flottmann works . The design in reform architecture influenced by Art Nouveau came from the Dortmund architects Georg Schmidtmann and Julius Klemp . Up to 1,000 people worked day and night shifts here.

The site was shut down in 1983. Most of the factory buildings were demolished, only the exhibition and dispatch hall, forge and locksmith's shop remained. The existing facilities were placed under monument protection and thus saved from demolition.

In the summer of 1985, the city of Herne decided to use the monument as a public culture and event center. In October 1986 the halls were opened to the public as a cultural center . Between 1997 and 2000, over 70 episodes of the WDR talk show Wednesdays with… were produced there every 14 days .

The Herner Flottmann-Hallen are today a venue for the RuhrTriennale, among other things .

Outdoor facilities

Flottmann gate under its protective structure on the site, May 2013

After soil renovation, a local recreation park was created on the former factory site in 2008–2010.

An eye-catcher on the site is the wrought-iron Art Nouveau gate, which was designed by Karl Weinhold and bought by Heinrich Flottmann for his factory premises after it was presented at the 1902 industrial and commercial exhibition in Düsseldorf . In 1967 the Flottmann-Werke donated the gate to the city of Herne. It then stood for a long time in the park or in the main courtyard of Strünkede Castle , was restored in 2010 and placed back on the factory premises under a protective structure made of concrete and glass.

Works by Heinrich Brockmeier ( Time of Silence ), Peter Schwickerath ( Stahlschitt ), Reiner Seliger ( sesto ) and Andreas Bee ( Homburger ) can be seen in the sculpture park on the spacious outdoor area . In addition to the main entrance is one of Thomas Baumgärtel in Pochoir technique to find gesprayte banana.
