history

The factories were built in the characteristic commercial architecture of the 19th century in brick construction for the bleaching and machine works Fr. Gebauer of the industrialist Friedrich Gebauer as a production and administration building. The oldest structure in the area is a four-story building built in 1865, which was designed by Ludwig Mertens for a calender system. Due to the commercial success of Gebauer, the plant was expanded in the following years. By 1897, the architect Ernst Gerhardt built further factory buildings on the site in the typical brick construction. The distinctive five-storey warehouse (building 60) with a mansard roof was planned and realized by the architect Julius Lichtenstein in 1910 on the north side of the factory site. After the textile machine factory was closed, the parts of the building were used differently. Extensive renovation of the factory complex began in 1990, which was supplemented by two eight-story office buildings (building 100 office center on Spreebogen and building 200) along Franklinstrasse . The winding inner courtyards can be reached through two gate entrances from Franklinstrasse .
