Industriestrasse 11 (Magdeburg)
Industriestraße 11 is the name registered in the local monument register for a listed factory in Magdeburg .
location
The factory is located in the Magdeburg-Industriehafen district on the west side of Industriestrasse, on a corner with the Karpenlake street, which flows north.
Architecture and history
The facility was built according to a design by Peter Schneider in 1911/1912 as a weapons and ammunition factory. It was created in the then new industrial port as a branch of the Lippstadt- based company GC Dornheim .
The factory has a three-storey administration and residential building, which is followed by a two-storey production wing. Both parts are designed as simple plastered brick structures, with the lintels and building edges being brick-facing. The administration building facing Industriestrasse is covered with a mansard roof , the production hall with a gable roof.
In the area between the two wings of the building, a 43.5-meter-high scrap tower dominates the appearance of the facility . From the top of the tower, liquid lead was plunged from a container with a sieve bottom into a basin of water at the base. The desired shape of the shotguns took place through the free fall through an ascending stream of air . The initials made of yellow bricks and the year of the construction period GCD 1912 are located below the tower head, which is widened to form the casting chamber . The tower is covered with a flat roof. Two melting furnaces were housed in the casting chamber. The small, narrow chimneys of the ovens protrude slightly over the roof on opposite sides of the tower. Shotgun pellets were made for use in hunting ammunition.
Inside the tower there is a freight elevator for lead and coal and crampons. In addition, six floor platforms have been added to the tower.
The plant was in operation until 1955. In the 1990s, it was converted into a show object. Currently (as of 2020) the site is used by PreZero Service Sachsen-Anhalt GmbH, a company active in the field of waste management.
The tower, which is visible from afar near the banks of the Elbe , is characteristic of the cityscape and landscape. It is the last remaining shot-casting tower in a large area and is considered a significant example of the Magdeburg ammunition industry before the First World War .
In the local register of monuments , the factory is listed as a monument under registration number 094 06271 .
