Viktoria mill, side of the Spree

From 1898 onwards, in the course of industrialization in Berlin, the building complex of the Berlin Victoriamühle Aktiengesellschaft was built at Schlesische Strasse 38 between Falckensteinstrasse and Cuvrystrasse . It consisted of a flour store, grain silo , office and apartment building and stretched as far as the Spree . In 1890, a five-storey house with additional buildings was initially built on the street side by the master mason and builder Heinrich Ellrott. A storage facility built around 1950 was used to store the Senate reserve . Today the complex consists of three courtyards. His style of design, borrowed from the North German brick Gothic, refers to the shape of the nearby Oberbaum Bridge , which was only completed a year earlier . The crenellated roof attachment was not preserved.

The plant was adapted to the requirements several times during its operating time without uniform planning. The original grain silo directly on the Spree was converted into an office building in the years after the fall of the Berlin Wall .
