The total of seven courtyards are not far from Viktoriapark . They are named after the traditional German chocolate brand Sarotti , which produced here between 1883 and 1921.
Emergence
The history of the courtyards began 150 years ago: On September 19, 1859, a certain Carl Griese received permission to build a "living, stable and apartment building" on his property at 30 Tempelhofer Strasse. A stable for nine horses was created on the ground floor and three living rooms each on the first and second floors. Little by little, a side wing, more stables and sheds grew in the garden behind the house. In 1881 the confectioner Hugo Hoffmann bought the house and built a factory building in place of the coach house . The street was already called Belle-Alliance-Straße when the expanding company bought house numbers 82 and 83 (today Mehringdamm 53-57) at number 81. Two years on one of the factory buildings indicate that the Sarotti company was founded in 1868 and the year it was built in 1894. Up to 1800 people are said to have been employed in the factory floors. In January 1922, chocolate production on the site was stopped after a fire and production was relocated to the newly built factory in Teilestrasse in Tempelhof.
The restored Sarotti courtyards now house a hotel with a café, as well as advertising studios and music labels .
