The parts Road is an industrial street in Berlin industrial area Tempelhof-east of the district Tempelhof-Schöneberg on the Teltow Canal . On the street there are several listed factories and a gantry crane from 1935 as a technical monument .

The former production site of Sarotti , formerly the German Chocoladenhaus , which is one of the oldest Tempelhof factories, is one of the protected industrial monuments . Here, in 1918, the company created the Sarotti-Mohren, one of the best-known German trademarks , which was 95 percent well- known in Germany in 2000.

History and naming

Map section with the parts road

The Teilestraße runs from Komturstraße to Gottlieb-Dunkel-Straße and parallel to the Teltow Canal at a distance of around 100 meters . The Gradestraße junction of the city ​​motorway leads with two sweeping bridges over the Teilestraße. Between these two arms of the bridge it crosses the Neukölln-Mittenwald railway .

The road was laid out in 1909 and bears the name of Tempelhof peasant family parts that after the Thirty Years' War next to the Lehnschulzenfamilie was Rohde probably the only surviving family in the village Tempelhof. The short Rohdestrasse, one of the two side streets of the Teilestrasse, keeps the name of the second surviving family alive.

Originally the road from the west only reached as far as Linzer Strasse, which until the construction of the autobahn was located where the eastern autobahn bridge is today. The cemetery of the Tempelhof community began behind it.

The whole of today's parts road had an industrial track on the southern side, the route of which is still clearly visible today, and some rails are still along the road. This led across the cemetery, although there was no road there, and continued on Bergholzstrasse, where the Krupp -druckmüller steel construction site was opened up. The connection to the Neukölln-Mittenwalder Railway, which led diagonally across the Teilestraße, is still clearly visible, as is the now-inoperative bridge over the railway line. In the west, the industrial track used to lead to the Tempelhof harbor , in the shopping center that is now there, rail and switch systems that have been prepared as monuments have remained in the basement.

To the west, the Teilestraße continues today only as Ordensmeisterstraße to Tempelhofer Damm at the Tempelhof harbor and then as Friedrich-Karl-Straße to Attilaplatz. Originally it branched out to the west, the second branch, Albrechtstrasse, was shortened to a residential street and, as an extension of Teilestrasse, is now just a green area with a pedestrian and cycle path.

The continuation to the east to Gottlieb-Dunkel-Straße along the former railway line only came about with the construction of the motorway. As a result, Bergholzstrasse, which itself is a dead end, became a straight extension of Teilestrasse.

Industrial monuments

The location of the Teilestraße on the Teltow Canal with the Tempelhof port only 600 meters down the canal and on the Neukölln-Mittenwald Railway with the nearby Teltow Canal freight station allowed industrial and commercial operations to emerge early on. Although the canals and railways have lost their importance in this area, the area around Teilestrasse is still attractive as a commercial location, as the occupancy of the old buildings by modern companies and new buildings shows. The connection to the city motorway has been meeting the needs of new businesses since 2000. It is noteworthy that the fronts of the industrial facilities on the Teltow Canal face the street, while the Berlin factories on the Spree face the river.

The Sarotti plant in Tempelhof

The Sarotti chocolate company originated in 1852 on Friedrichstrasse in Berlin as a confectioner and goods store Felix & Sarotti - the origin of the name Sarotti has not yet been clarified. After several name changes and relocations, Sarotti Chocoladen und Cacao Aktiengesellschaft had a production facility that was state-of-the-art for the time built on Teilestrasse 12/13 on an area of ​​47,500 m² from 1911. The Teltow Canal was completed in 1906 and, together with its own siding to the Neukölln-Mittenwald Railway, offered the best conditions for the supply of goods. At that time, until the founding of Greater Berlin in 1920, Tempelhof was still an independent rural community in the Teltow district .

Factory built in 1913

The architect at the beginning of the work was the Charlottenburg master builder Oskar Müller, who was later supported by Hermann Dernburg . A factory building was built, which "brought the building owners from parts of the public the accusation of megalomania - a misjudgment, as it turned out."

A 56-meter-wide and 84-meter-long block-like structure of 4040 m² enclosed an inner courtyard of around 630 m². In order not to impair the production area, the architects built the four stairwells in the corners of the inner courtyard. The stairs led to five upper floors, above which was a recessed attic. The facades were equipped with protruding reinforced concrete pillars , which together with the window parapets and the windows that were fitted in landscape format formed a clear grid system. "The inside of the reinforced concrete skeleton structure was consistently divided into two- or three-aisled rooms by reinforced concrete columns."

After investing around 3.5 million marks in construction money (adjusted for purchasing power in today's currency: around 19 million euros), Sarotti started production in 1913 with around 2000 employees at the new Teilestrasse location. Production, which was quickly running at full capacity, experienced a significant slump with the start of the First World War in 1914. After the lack of raw cocoa supply due to the British sea ​​blockade, Sarotti kept afloat with the production of huge quantities of so-called war jam and war cookies .

Fire in 1922 and reconstruction

Plans from 1921 to expand the plant in Teilestrasse from 4040 m² to 6490 m² were initially thwarted by the great fire of January 20, 1922, which the fire brigade could not extinguish and which kept the factory almost completely in place for three days and two nights Laying rubble. The catastrophe, which in spite of all the adversities did not cause any deaths, had a lot of media coverage. The Berliner Tageblatt reported:

“When the fire broke out, a terrible panic broke out among the hundreds of employees in the factory, and everything fell down the smoke-filled corridors. [...] Beams detached from the roof keep falling down. [...] As it is said, around 100 employees are said to have been attacked, partly by gas poisoning, partly by nerve shocks and screaming fits. "

The industrial architect Bruno Buch , who had designed one of the UFA film studios on Oberlandstrasse as early as 1913, took care of the reconstruction that followed. Buch combined the reconstruction with an extension of the wings of the building, which he closed with a crossbar around another courtyard. The structure of the façade was essentially retained and the cladding was made with shell limestone panels . The entire reconstruction and expansion was subject to the limited resources of the inflationary period . As early as 1923, the production of Sarotti chocolate and products could be resumed. In 1929 Nestlé took over 50 percent of Sarotti shares. After the Second World War , the administration building was badly damaged, the raw material supplies destroyed or transported away and 85 percent of the machinery was dismantled. In 1949 the company relocated its headquarters to Hattersheim am Main and in the same year production started again with 800 employees in Teilestraße. In 1998 the plant still had 650 employees. Also in 1998 Nestlé sold the Sarotti brand to Stollwerck and the Cologne-based company completely relocated Sarotti production to its Marienfelde plant at Motzener Strasse 32 on the southern outskirts of Berlin.

The current owner of the building at Teilestraße 11–16 is IKAD Europe GmbH. From the work of the architects Müller, Dernburg and Buch, the factory, the boiler house and the coal store are listed as an ensemble.

Other industrial monuments

Bruno Taut's steam laundry

Bruno Taut and his partner Franz Hoffmann designed and built in 1911/1912 the steam laundry for Erwin Reibedanz's (1878–1919) steam washing facility at Teilestrasse 23 , some of which has been preserved. According to art historian Gerhild Komander, the monument of the two representatives of New Building is considered an early example of “expressionist design in Berlin. The facade made of yellow Sommerfelder clinker bricks frame and structure horizontal and vertical strips made of black bricks from the Roter artificial brick. The two-colored cube friezes in the recessed window fields are remarkable. ” In 1919 Bruno Taut's brother Max Taut designed the limestone stele for the grave of Reibedanz in the old Luisenstadt cemetery on Bergmannstrasse in Kreuzberg . The Reibedanz building is now used by a car repair shop.

Raebel construction business (Raab-Karcher)

Former Raebel construction business from 1907–1912

In Teilestrasse 9/10, the warehouses of the former construction business Hermann Raebel from the years 1907–1912 and 1923–1925 are under monument protection. The owner, Hermann Raebel, was both architect and builder. The buildings are now used by Raab Karcher Baustoffe GmbH , owned by the French Saint-Gobain Group since 2000 . The Raebel country house from 1924/1925 in Lichterfelde , Unter den Eichen  87, is also protected as a historical monument - Hermann Raebel also designed and built his house himself.

Loading bridge from 1935

The loading bridge at Teilestraße 3–8, which has been protected as an industrial monument since 1955, is visible from afar . The steel loading bridge with rotating trolley was built by the Duisburg-based company Demag in 1935 . The crane, which is over 100 meters long, was used in the formerly heavily frequented reloading area to unload ships that transported coal to Tempelhof. Like Sarotti, the Vaubeka also had a direct branch connection to the Neukölln-Mittenwald railway, via which the heating materials were passed on. The crane has been out of service since the 1990s. It is one of the few still existing technical certificates of such cranes, which can be driven on rails, with portal-like supporting frames, of which the channel-side is designed as a pendulum support.

The crane was built by Vaubeka , the trading company United Berlin Coal Traders, which today belongs to Stinnes AG as Vaubeka Brenn- und Baustoff GmbH .

Opposite the Vaubeka crane site, on the other side of the street on the corner of Komturstrasse, there was a large B1 discount hardware store with a large, modern, glazed hall. The company Kadow und Riese GmbH , which specializes in sheet metal forming , at Teilestrasse 29, has set up a remarkable landmark at a lofty height in front of their production hall: a sloping, quasi-hanging automobile.

Also noteworthy are the halls of the Dachser forwarding company next to Kadow and Riese, whose over 50 truck loading portals are lined up like a string of pearls. The branch of the Swabian logistics company Dachser at Teilestrasse 26–28 is currently building a logistics center at Schönefeld Airport and will move there after its completion.

Next to the Dachser site and across from the Sarotti factory is the former operations center of the Beamten-Wirtschaftsverein zu Berlin consumer association . The office building on the street was acquired by Metropolitano Brandschutzsachnahmigen GmbH in 2009 after it had been vacant for a long time . It will be extensively renovated and will then serve as the headquarters of Metropolis International Holding AG . Other companies settle here, such as Musikbunker GmbH . The storage and production building of the consumer cooperative, which adjoins the office building in the depths of the property, has been largely renovated and converted into music rehearsal rooms.

Parking lane

On the eastern section of Teilestraße, between the bridge ensemble of the motorway junction / railway and Gottlieb-Dunkel-Straße, there has been a green area since 2000 , which extends to Schaffhausener Straße on the southern edge of the Bärensiedlung from 1929–1931, which is protected as a building and garden monument .

In 2000 the 1.7 kilometer long Britz tunnel of the A 100 was completed, which runs parallel to Teilestraße and begins after the Gradestraße junction. The striking ventilation structure at the tunnel entrance also marks the beginning of a long strip of green that the State of Berlin created on the tunnel ceiling with playgrounds and sports fields parallel to the Emmauskirchhof garden monument. At the corner ofteile- and Gottlieb-Dunkel-Strasse, a terraced section of the park was created with benches and flower fields, which rises a few meters next to the ventilation block and reveals a view of the motorway through viewing windows shortly before it disappears underground.

Others

A dog sports club has its premises directly under the Gottlieb-Dunkel bridge. The street is part of the Teltow Canal Path, one of the 20 green main paths in Berlin , which is separated from the canal bank by commercial space
