The PRO block of flats , also called PRO block or PRO castle , today called "Schleidenhof", is a listed building complex in the Hamburg district of Barmbek-Süd . The building, completed in 1907 in the style of a Hamburg castle by the consumer, building and savings association “Produktion” , burned down in 1943 and was rebuilt in 1949 and 1950.

The so-called "Hamburger Burg" was a type of construction that from 1900 onwards distinguished many cooperative construction companies in Hamburg. This cut, the eye-catching design of the façades and the tower-like roof extensions of the PRO apartment block ensured that the building between Schleidenstraße, Lohkoppelstraße, Brucknerstraße and Ortrudstraße was given the nickname “Schloss von Barmbek”.

During the Nazi regime , "Production" had to sell the building complex. The PRO block burned out as a result of a bomb hit during Operation Gomorrah , although the surrounding walls remained. The PRO apartment block was rebuilt in 1949 and 1950 under the auspices of the consumer cooperatives' pension fund - the previously conspicuous roof extensions were not restored.
