history

The railway repair works (EAW) was built from 1876 for the Berlin-Anhaltische Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft and expanded several times until the 1940s. The building erected between 1876 and 1879 was designed by the architect Franz Heinrich Schwechten . With the commissioning of the RAW Berlin-Schöneweide, which was built from 1926, the RAW Tempelhof transferred part of its tasks to it.

Located in West Berlin after the division of Berlin , the Deutsche Reichsbahn continued to operate the plant. In 1980 the Reichsbahn fired 78 employees from the Reichsbahn repair works in Tempelhof and Grunewald. The terminations made without social selection led to protests by the employees and were a co-trigger of the second Berlin Reichsbahn strike by the employees of the Reichsbahn employed in West Berlin.

In 1992 the repair shop was closed; Until 1996 the apprentice workshop of the later Deutsche Bahn AG was still on the site, from 1992 to 2002 the former RAW was used as a depot of ARGE Morowski, later ABUS GmbH, a merger of several Berlin bus companies under the management of Dr. Richard Herrmann, who worked on behalf of the Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe (BVG), used it as a depot. The former locomotive repair shop was used as a bus repair shop, the petrol station and the guard building at the entrance were also used as a dispatcher and office and break room.

As of 1998, part of the site was sold to Deutsche Post AG, which set up the letter center 10 (BZ10) on the rear part of the site.

In 2002 the sale and the end of its use as a depot and the demolition of the Kümpelschmiede, the porches and the locomotive washing hall, the removal of tracks and the acetylene processing plant, the partial demolition of the turntable and the wash house, the enclosure and the north wall of the forge, began Demolition of the casino, porter building and extensions. Of the previous 14 hectares, around nine hectares were sold to IKEA and a furniture store was built over in 2003. In 2005 the residential buildings at Sachsendamm 47B – 47F were demolished. The historic hall buildings that remained on a further five hectares were rededicated to a retail park in consultation with the preservation authorities.
