The former raw fabric warehouse in Nordhorn was designed by the Stuttgart industrial architect Philipp Jakob Manz and built in 1921/22 for the company Niehues & Dütting , later NINO AG. It is a listed building and is part of the NINO business park .

In 2002/03 the building was renovated while largely preserving its external appearance and has since been home to the Nordhorn Adult Education Center . In 2007 the building received a modern extension as well as outdoor facilities for the Evangelical High School Nordhorn .

history

The raw fabric store was part of the extensive factory complex of the former group from the textile heyday of Nordhorn, which later became known as NINO AG and which the industrial architect Manz designed for the company originally trading under the name of Niehues & Dütting cotton-colored spinning and weaving mill .

The building with its simple, neoclassical façade was placed at the northern entrance to the factory site between the Werkstrasse which begins there and the tracks of the Bentheimer Railway . It was a four-storey building under head Mansard - hipped roofs built and consisted of an aligned on the north side wide building, the deeper two and together slightly narrower parts of the building was connected.

When the company went bankrupt in 1994/96, a new use had to be found for the entire 20 hectare former factory complex in the immediate city center, on which the former raw fabric warehouse was located, before the area became an industrial wasteland. This resulted in the NINO business park with the spinning mill building as a landmark and “supra-regional competence center and network for the economy”, which is framed by the Protestant grammar school and the adult education center in the raw fabric warehouse and the old administration building with bale warehouse .

Adult education center and Protestant grammar school

After the conversion of the raw fabric warehouse, the Nordhorn adult education center found its new headquarters here, which until then had been spread over five different locations in Nordhorn. With this use, a good half of the usable area (3 250 of a total of 6 100 m 2 ) could be occupied.

At the beginning of the 2004/05 school year, the grammar school on the city ring road initially set up a branch in the remaining rooms. In 2007 the architects Breidenbend and Pena were commissioned with the new building, the renovation work and the creation of outdoor facilities for the grammar school on this site.

130 rooms were created on around 3,300 square meters, 26 of which are used as classrooms. A large lecture room has space for 120 people. The evangelical grammar school moved in in the 2003/04 school year.
