  • In the south-west corner the machine house with material store and extension on the left.
  • The cattle shed building to the east in an escape .
  • The storage and intestinal mucous plant building attached to the south-eastern boundary of the property.
  • The tripe wash hall located in the east behind the central building .
  • To the north, opposite the long side of the cold store, the elongated canteen building .

architecture

All buildings of the slaughterhouse complex are homogeneously designed in brick architecture typical of the time. The style elements used to structure and decorate the facade are mainly taken from the Romanesque church building. With the exception of the two residential buildings and the machine building, all halls are obliged to follow the same structure: vertical structure with flat pilaster strips and an even row of the highly developed, arched window openings. The horizontal structure is taken over by plinth, floor cornices and frieze strips . Partially ornamental designation with round arch friezes and block friezes .

Occasional enrichment through triangular gables . Moderately steep gable roofs over a far protruding console cornice complete the building.

Residential building (65/249 = Schlachthofstr. 2; 4; 41) (65/287 = Schlachthofstr. 39)

The two residential buildings on the street side leave the central entrance free. In principle, the design criteria are the same, but the details are different. The house flanking the driveway on the right is built on three floors on a low basement plinth. Decorative Fassadenakzentuierung through the middle risalitartig exposed ledge with überkrönendem floating gable. Window axes in rhythmic arrangement; the two middle ones moved together.

It is horizontally structured on the ground floor by surrounding cornices in the combined use of “sawtooth” and arches ; the upper floor is set off by a simply profiled cornice and indicated frieze strips by means of runners protruding from the wall . Windows with segment lintels, some with the original muntin division. High hipped roof on a protruding eaves cornice as a conclusion.

The house on the left is only two-storey and on a rectangular floor plan with three window axes is smaller overall. Here, too, the facade is emphasized in the center by a bay-like wall protrusion below the cornice, which is crowned by a floating gable (street front and west side of the house).

Central building (former cold store) (65/255 = An der Eickesmühle 8; 10; 12; 18; 24; 26; 28; 38; 40)

The central building is to the east of the main entrance. It is a single-storey building complex with an irregular structure, which reflects the expansions made in various construction phases. On the left a narrow, elongated rectangle with five axes in eaves position, which is connected to the right by a three-axis, gable-end hall with an aedicle-like porch emphasizing the axis of symmetry. The longitudinal fronts are structured analogously to the front; the windows, some of which are formulated as a blind construction, are here in full format.

The relocated, gable-facing "large cattle slaughterhouse" is connected to the identically designed section of the central building through a recent roofing (not part of the monumental substance). The longitudinal front is illuminated through eight window and door openings. The gable back, which is accessible on the center axis, ends with a stepped cornice. The functional differentiation of the extension buildings attached to the original hall can be seen concentrated on the rear of the central building. The eaves-side boiler house with a rectangular tower building is attached to the gable-end pig slaughterhouse . The compact tower shaft is windowless; the upper floors, which are structured by cornice strips, are illuminated on each side through two paired window openings and adorned by ornamentally designed window windows .

Machine house and material store (65/250 = An der Eickesmühle 43; 45; 47; 49)

The former machine hall is located in the southern corner area away from this complex. Two risalitartig early, on crowned of triangular gables building sections summarize a an elongated structure of five axes. Each construction section is structured in a strictly axially symmetrical manner and accessed through a two-wing gate. The uniformly high-rectangular windows are vertically covered and arranged regularly. Each part of the building is rounded off by a flat sloping gable roof. On the left is the lower dimensioned material store. Three uniformly designed rectangular windows at equal intervals open the facade; a flat roof to close the building.

Stable building (65/251 = An der Eickesmühle 39; 41)

To the east, following a line of flight, is the former cattle barn. The two-storey brick building is built on the eaves in an axially symmetrical arrangement; the central / entrance axis is accented at the gable end with a pointed triangular gable. Seven window and door openings with uniform segmental arches illuminate the ground floor; the windows on the upper floor are narrower and each paired in an axis. In the broader entrance axis there is a triple window, which is crowned by an ox-eye in the gable field .

Storage and former intestinal mucous plant (65/280 = An der Eickesmühle 27; 29)

Elongated building of one and a half storeys with irregular axes. Six window or door openings in different designs and shapes subdivide the facade; a blind window in the third right axis. Under the protruding console cornice, a small segmented arched window illuminates the mezzanine in each axis.

Hall of the former tripe laundry (65/261 = An der Eickesmühle 21; 23)

Elongated building with seven pilaster-framed axes. In the left axis to the right of a blind window is a door opening that is repeated in the central axis. The remaining five axis fields are each opened by a portrait-format twin window. On the roof a wide ventilation lantern with a flat roof edge.

Canteen building (65/259 = An der Eickesmühle 13)

To the north, opposite the long side of the cold store, is the eaves canteen building as the head of an elongated building wing. Additional emphasis and structure of the facade, which is opened by four segmental arched windows and two entrances, is provided by a floating gable above a loading hatch that opens to a small exit.

The original floor coverings (paving) of the pathways are to be included in the substance to be protected.
