The tin smelter in Hamburg-Barmbek-Nord is a listed, former factory building and today a leisure center. It is located next to the Museum of Work and is considered to be an example of an industry that is dependent on seaports.

building

The listed building of a former smelting plant for tin is located at Maurienstraße 19 in Hamburg-Barmbek-Nord on the site of the former New York Hamburger Gummi-Waaren Compagnie and today's Museum of Labor . Together with the boiler house, it is one of the outbuildings of the extension from 1883, which are still considered to be "important [buildings] that illustrate the production process". Mainly metal molds for products made of hard rubber were manufactured here.

Almost all of the factory buildings were destroyed in the bombing raids on Hamburg in World War II and were not fundamentally repaired and rebuilt until the late 1980s.

Cultural center

A cultural center housed in this building has also been using the name Zinnschmelze since the 1980s. It was originally opened in 1984 and has since been operated and managed by the non-profit sponsoring association Barmbeker Verein für Kultur und Arbeit eV . A regular program of concerts, lectures and readings as well as various courses is offered. The tin smelter is also home to the theater deck and the Lütt Liv restaurant .

After a major renovation, the tin smelter was reopened in March 2015 after a one and a half year break.
