history

In the 18th century there was a major fire in Gera that destroyed the workplaces of over 200 equipment makers . Frederick II of Prussia had the idea of ​​luring the craftsmen to his region in order to introduce fabric weaving, which was still relatively unknown in the Mark Brandenburg . At the same time he wanted to secure the sales area in the region around Gera.

Frederick II therefore had the "Great Factory" built in Luckenwalde between 1780 and 1785 and provided the weavers with looms and living space. He committed the publisher Thomas de Vins to supply the weavers with raw materials. However, the plan did not work: Due to errors in production, the factory had to be auctioned. The Luckenwalde cloth maker Gottlieb Busse acquired the production facility, which his son-in-law later took over from Carl . 1853 it became the property of the Christmas tree, Paris & Co. over. She continued to run the company until the Great Depression in 1929. In the following decades, the substance of the Great Factory was continuously destroyed.

The four-sided courtyard is among the buildings that have been preserved. It was built between 1782 and 1785 as a baroque mansion with a factory and a residential complex. Its structure remained largely unchanged and was restored between 1994 and 1997. During renovation work in the weaver's room, experts found an original Prussian cap . The building will be used as a hotel in the 21st century. The former turbine hall has served as an art gallery since 1997.
