The roughage warehouse Schöneiche is a monument in Schöneiche near Berlin .

According to the few written sources that have survived, the roughage store was built in 1749 by order of Frederick II shortly before the Seven Years' War . In the event of war, roughage should be stored here for the cavalry . In the course of the renovation, dendrochronological investigations were carried out, which showed that the wood was felled in 1730/31. Thus must the construction of the building newly dated and the "Soldier King" Frederick William I are attributed.

The stylistic features of baroque having half-timbered house has shifted the base of a rectangle. The building consists of three floors, ground floor, upper floor and attic (mansard roof). In the mansard there is a central door leading to the elevator bay. The upper part of the roof is covered with slate, the lower part with beaver tails . The grain was stored on the upper floor and taken up using the elevator, and down using a chute. The chute is still preserved. At the house you can tell that the street used to be lower, which can be seen from the two steps at the entrance.

The granary was used for agriculture until the fall of the Wall , although it had been a listed building since 1976. The renovation of the building began in 1997 and was completed in 2002. Today changing exhibitions on Schöneich's history take place here. The building is the last of its kind in the state of Brandenburg and is located on the 1st row on the outskirts of the village.
