Architecture and history

The pavilion, characterized by its clear design, was built in the New Building style in 1929/1930 based on designs by Johannes Göderitz and Fritz Kneller for the Magdeburg Building Department. The building, which appears cubic and transparent, was created using a lightweight reinforced concrete structure . The sales area is completely glazed and covered with a flat roof. A colonnade-like colonnade is arranged around this space, the roof of which rests on slender, square pillars.

At the rear there is a small wing for the office and warehouse, which, however, protrudes from the central position to the northwest. This area has narrow, upright windows.

The pavilion is listed as a monument in the local register of monuments under registration number 094 70736 .

The pavilion is considered to be a particularly remarkable and successful example of new building and is significant in terms of architectural history. In terms of urban history, it is a symbol of Magdeburg as the city of new building in the 1920s. The good integration of this building into the surrounding neo-Gothic development is also emphasized .
