Coordinates: 52 ° 34 ′ 1.4 " N , 13 ° 24 ′ 11.7" E
The malting Pankow is a building complex in Mühlenstrasse 9 to 11 in Berlin Pankow . Until 1945, malt for beer production was produced industrially in the malt house . The Schultheiss brewery built the first buildings in 1874 and expanded the facility several times by 1902. After the Second World War , parts of the malt house served as a warehouse until 1989. During the renovation from 2008 to 2011, the listed buildings were converted into condominiums .
history
founding
The Pankow malt house is an early example of the decentralized industrial production of beer at various locations. Richard Roesicke , politician and since 1864 owner of the Schultheiss - brewery , 1873 commissioned the Berlin Council Maurermeister Frederick Arthur Rohmer with the planning and construction of a Tennenmälzerei on a company-owned land in Pankow. There were already storage cellars and a brewery bar on the site . The reasons for the new building lay in the fact that the previous premises on the Märkischer Ufer were no longer sufficient for the increasing demand and there was no building space available for an extension. In a construction period of over seven months, a barn building, a double skewer , a boiler house with an office and a soft house for soaking the barley were built in 1874 .
expansion
As early as 1881, the new buildings could no longer meet the demand for malt . The threshing floor was extended and the soft house demolished. In 1898, master mason Friedrich Arthur Rohmer expanded the existing double kiln and built another kiln building. From 1881 to 1888 and from 1898 to 1902, the production process was modernized and a pneumatic malt house was set up, in which a mechanical air supply enabled the germination of larger quantities of grain. At the same time, a third kiln was built on the southeast corner of the property, designed by the builders Ernst Telebier and Carl Teichen .
In 1936, 84 workers and employees in the Pankow malt house produced 150,000 quintals of malting barley during the winter months . There was no work in the summer; Only after the harvest was the barley delivered by horse and cart.
Redevelopment and conversion
Malt production ended in Pankow in 1945. The building remained in the Second World War virtually undamaged, and served until the mid-1970s as a warehouse for the trade organization of the GDR . The malt house has been a listed building since 1977 .
In 2007, the company terraplan from Nuremberg , represented by Erik Roßnagel, acquired the malting plant from the Schultheiss successor company Brau und Brunnen ( Radeberger Group ). Under the direction of the Potsdam architectural office vangeistenmarfels.architekten , the listed buildings were converted into 150 condominiums in two construction phases . The four historic components were given new house names based on figures from ancient mythology (the Hesperides and the Roman goddesses Flora , Minerva and Pomona ). The planning of the garden areas with playground and central square was in the hands of garden architect Raoul van Geisten from Berlin. Interior designer Eugen Gehring was responsible for the interior design. Construction work was completed in 2011. For the renovation , the client was awarded the Real Estate Manager Award in 2011 (for the Hesperidenhöfe and Flora Tower components ) and in 2012 with the Ferdinand von Quast Medal , the preservation price of the State of Berlin.
The buildings
Overall system
Due to the large extent of the site (around 12,000 m²) and the height of its buildings, the malt house is of outstanding urban significance. This is underlined by the roof landscape of the kilns , whose roofs and chimneys were enriched by the builders Rohmer, Tielebier and ponds with decorative roof shapes and kiln faxes.
The malt house consists of four individual buildings, which are arranged in the plan of a "U" around a courtyard open to the west: parallel to Mühlenstrasse in the east rise the eastern kiln building with threshing floor (today called Minervasuiten ). At the intersection between Mühlenstrasse and Neuer Schönholzer Strasse in the south, the new kiln building with threshing floor (Flora towers and Hesperidenhöfe) , which was added later, is connected . To the north of this there is another threshing floor building (Pomona gardens) .
architecture
As is typical for industrial buildings of the 19th and early 20th centuries, the buildings of the malt house have a strikingly rich architectural structure and architectural decoration. It reflects the pride of the early industrial age in the achievements of technology. The malt house was not a purely functional building, but also an architectural flagship for the operator. During the planning, great importance was attached to a uniform appearance of the complex. Although the historical buildings were erected over a period of almost three decades, they are all made of clinker brick. The masonry consists of yellow Glindower clinker, which was considered to be particularly resistant to mechanical stress and weather damage. Individual decorative elements such as cornices, window sockets and masonry arches in red clinker are contrasting. Almost the entire design of the facades was done by arranging the bricks in different ways and by using special shaped stones for cornices and arches.
The design of the two Darrent Towers in particular is reminiscent of medieval castles : Friedrich Arthur Rohmer provided the eastern Darrent Tower (Minerva Suites) with a half-timbered attic with a tent roof , corner turrets and high smoke vent . The southern Darre and the connected antenna (Flora towers and Hesperidenhöfe) of Ernst Tielebier and Carl ponds is in the style of the Brandenburg brick Gothic maintained and has a far vorkragendes Abschlussgesims on consoles .
Redevelopment
During the renovation from 2008 to 2011, numerous, partly makeshift additions to the buildings were removed. Demolition edges and additions to the masonry were plastered and painted in the color of the yellow clinker in order to make the building history of the complex legible. The freed up areas were transformed into paths, gardens and play areas; A small square was created in the courtyard area between the buildings. An underground car park was built in the southern part of the site. In order to provide the apartments with enough daylight, windows were widened or added in many places. The facades and roofs were given balconies and roof terraces . Two green atriums were cut into the eastern threshing floor building (Hesperidenhöfe) ; the historical clinker brick facades in front of it remained. The elongated outbuilding east of the Minerva suites was converted into an orangery for the residents.
Due to the long vacancy and vandalism, there were hardly any old facilities in the interior; In some places, historical cap ceilings and kiln vaults based on the Papperitz patent have been integrated into the living and common rooms. The floor plans and staircases were renewed during the renovation.
