background

The heating plant and workshop building was constructed in 1936/37 as an elongated brick building with a hipped roof . As a military building, it served as part of the Flensburg-Mürwik base, which was built in the early 20th century. The building at the end of Swinemünder Strasse , like the neighboring buildings, was aligned with its long side facing the water , but it was the largest of the buildings at the naval port. The thermal power station was in the north of the building. The southern part was used for workshop purposes. Originally, the building apparently had a long, brick chimney belonging to the heating plant, which was removed sometime after the Second World War . The building in question should not be confused with the neighboring heating plant of the Mürwik Naval School , which had been in its main building since the 1910s ( location )

The German Navy used the building as well as the neighboring buildings until the end of the Cold War . The military in Flensburg was gradually dismantled. The naval base command Flensburg-Mürwik , which used the naval port, was dissolved in 1998. The conversion followed. The building as well as the neighboring buildings were placed under monument protection for historical, artistic and urban planning reasons . Since 2002 the neighboring buildings of the naval port have been gradually converted for civil use. The heating plant and workshop building, which was also called Building 2 at the time, was not initially sold to private investors. The neighboring building 3, which was used for teaching purposes, was not to be sold until later. At the end of the military use, the heating plant and workshop building on the edge of the boat harbor of the Mürwik naval school was still used by the naval school.

At the beginning of 2015, the locksmith's shop, the warehouse and the workshops in the building were given up by the naval school. In June 2015, plans for a hotel in the heating plant and workshop building became known. In the course of the refugee crisis , the state of Schleswig-Holstein nevertheless checked in December 2015 whether it was possible to accommodate refugees in the building. This usage idea did not catch on. The conversion of the building into a hotel began in 2017 with the demolition of an annex from the 1970s that was not listed as a historical monument. Then the renovation work began. The topping-out ceremony was celebrated in September 2019. The planned hotel was apparently assigned the address Fördepromenade No. 30 during this period . The hotel opened on July 10, 2020.
