Kiefert's Wurstpavillon is a building in Bremen that stood on the station square of Bremen Central Station from 1931 until it was destroyed in the Second World War and as a reconstruction from 1949 to 1998 . The pavilion served as a food stand and kiosk . Since 2016 it has been in the possession of the Focke Museum in Bremen , on whose open-air site it is to be given its final location.

history

At the beginning of the 1930s, the entrepreneur Otto Kiefer came up with the idea of ​​offering travelers at Bremen's main train station “round-the-clock care”. On his behalf, the Bremen architect Eberhard Gildemeister planned a sales pavilion that was built opposite the main entrance of the station. The pavilion is 6.80 meters long, the rounded narrow sides are 4.71 meters wide. It is 2.55 meters high, glazed all around and has a wide, cantilevered, flat roof .

Otto Kiefer, who had just founded his restaurant, opened the stall on April 1, 1931. He ran a drinking hall there with accessories sales and also offered fruit and flowers.

The building was destroyed during the Second World War. The architect Lore Krajewski, student and colleague of Eberhard Gildemeister, reconstructed the pavilion in 1949 on behalf of Martin Keuert (1921-2017), the son of the company founder. Krajewski replaced the former wooden parts with light metal. The reconstructed pavilion was henceforth operated as a snack stand and mainly offered sausage with mustard, potato salad, sandwiches, soups and drinks. Over the decades, the sausage pavilion with the red and white flounce underneath the wraparound roof panel and the lettering with the name Kieferts on the roof became a Bremensie .

At the end of the 1990s, the station square was redesigned. The pavilion stood in the way of the planned transfer station for regional buses. It was dismantled in 1998 and set up on a piece of land owned by the municipality in Neustadt . When this plot of land was sold, Joachim Kektiven - the grandson of the company founder - from Martin Kiefer Gaststättenbetriebe GmbH & Co KG gave the Gildemeister Pavilion 2010 "as it stands and lies, without any guarantee" to Bremer Straßenbahn AG (BSAG). He signed the donation agreement on November 22, 2010 on sausage cardboard . The BSAG housed the pavilion in their depot in Neustadt, where it was parked and stored under the elevated road that ran over the company premises along the BAB 281, protected from rain.

The Focke Museum became aware of the pavilion through reports in the media and showed interest in taking it over. In August 2016, BSAG donated the pavilion to the Focke-Museum, the Bremen State Museum for Art and Cultural History. The museum signed a seven-year loan agreement with Bremen-based investor and building contractor Thomas Stefes, who developed the “Markthalle Acht” for the building complex of the former Bremer Bank am Domshof . Stefes committed to renovation. After the loan period has expired, the pavilion will be set up on the grounds of the Focke Museum.

In mid-August 2016, the pavilion was transported from the BSAG site to the depot of a crane company, where the 15-ton pavilion was renovated. To reduce the weight of the pavilion construction, a 30 centimeter thick concrete base was removed. In addition, the surrounding billboard on the roof with the previous company name was dismantled. The repaired pavilion was moved to the market hall in mid-November 2016 .

Markthalle Acht opened at the end of November 2016; the “cult snack bar” initially only served as an exhibition item. Since August 2017, the pavilion in the atrium of the market hall as is Aperitivo - bar used in the Italian style and offers drinks and snacks.

Expert opinion from the State Office for Monument Preservation

As a legally temporary building , the pavilion is not under monument protection , the State Office for Monument Preservation Bremen is not responsible for this type of structure . When the pavilion had to give way to the redesign of the station square, the state monument preservation department nonetheless dealt with the building in an expert opinion in 1998 and advised it to be preserved. The pavilion is "with its round-the-clock supply" a "local testimony to the development of modern rail travel". The architecture gives the "impression of lightness and constructive clarity". The report emphasized the “generous glazing, the rounded narrow sides of the building, the emphasis on the horizontal” and the “filigree, protruding, flat flight roof”. It not only paid tribute to the architectural importance: "That the pavilion represents a sociotope worth preserving , which one can easily see for oneself with a bratwurst, is only incidentally."

Compensatory measure

In 2005, the Kiefer company built a new sausage pavilion on a small square on Bahnhofstrasse and the corner of Philosophenweg in the Bahnhofsvorstadt district of Bremen . The city of Bremen granted the approval on the basis of a promise made by it for the redesign of the station forecourt and the dismantling of the Gildemeister pavilion as well as “compensation for declining sales at two other locations” by Kiefer in Bremen as a result of urban development measures.

The new sausage pavilion on Bahnhofstrasse was designed based on the Gildemeister pavilion reconstructed by Krajewski . Among other things, it received an elliptical floor plan, a flying roof and a surrounding roof panel with advertising lettering. It was put into operation at the end of 2005.
