description

Part of the north facade

The corner building of the Hebebrand twisting mill is a three- to four-storey historicist factory building with an elaborately structured clinker brick facade that largely cites late Romanesque forms. The two wings of the building are connected at the intersection with a round corner tower on which a fifth tower floor is placed. The facade is divided into two- and three-axis window groups by pilasters over the entire height of the building , red and white clinker stone frames with bulging edges frame the windows of the first and second floors and thus combine the two floors, which are otherwise separated from each other by relief panels within these frames are. The entrance is at the southern end of the east facade and is set off by a six-axis risalite , which ends in a gable in the roof area and is richly decorated with decorative Gothic elements.

Since Eckernförde Strasse rises to the west, the first floor visible to the north becomes the basement to the west. This basement and ground floor is set off from the rest of the facade in a yellowish shade with red clinker bricks. The facade is partially decorated with moldings and majolica .

The facades to the courtyard and the gable side on the western side are smoothly plastered.

history

The factory building of the Wilhelm Hebebrand twisting mill founded in 1881 ( mechanical cotton spinning mill Wilh. Hebebrand Gesellschaft mbH ) on Uellendahler- / Eckernförder Straße was built in the vicinity of the former Wuppertal-Mirke train station in 1888 (according to another source in 1896). This took place around eight years after the opening of the Düsseldorf-Derendorf – Dortmund Süd railway line (“ Wuppertaler Nordbahn ”).

On March 26, 1991, the building was entered in the list of architectural monuments in Wuppertal. After extensive renovation work in the 1990s, the building is used as an office building under the name "Cotton Factory" with around 5000 m² of usable space.
