Architecture and history
The four-story building was built around 1900 as a brick construction. In the representative neo-baroque design, the shape of a baroque castle is cited. There is a central and two side risalites , each spanned with flat tail gables . At the beginning of 1900, Willy Otto senior bought the property and ran a grain trade in it. In addition, at the beginning of the 20th century, there was also a paper wholesaler and Bodo Bergk's business books and exercise book factory. The oven manufacturer Alexander Fischer also produced here. Even after the Second World War it was still used as a granary by the state-owned collection and purchase company (VEAB), which bought agricultural products from farmers.
After Willy Otto senior passed away, Willy Otto junior became the owner in 1961.
From the 1970s onwards, the industrial textiles supply office in Weißenfels was housed in the building, from which the name that is still in use today arises. The company's headquarters were in Leipzig . From Weißenfels, the office supplied the GDR slipper manufacturers and the shipyard industry with felt . Healthcare clothing was also sold. On New Year's Eve from December 31, 1981 to January 1, 1982, a fire was triggered by a New Year's Eve rocket in a northern part of the building. This part burned out and was later demolished.
In 1985 Willy Otto junior died, followed by a community of heirs as the owner, who sold the property at a real estate auction in 2008.
After a long period of vacancy, it was set up as a temporary venue for a performance of the theater project The Last Gem in 2019 . Regardless of this, however, the building is still empty and in need of renovation.
The factory building is listed as a monument in the local register of monuments under registration number 094 80036 .
As the northern boundary of the railway systems, the building is considered to be significant in terms of urban development.
