Oppach,
Germany

Description
The large factory building consists of four storeys, a suterain and is about 20 metres wide and about 100 metres long.
The south-west side facing the street is a uniform building, while the north-east side has an almost spectacular appearance due to three protruding lift towers with staircases. Glazed passages lead from these towers into the factory building.
At the main entrance, the former reception building still stands next to the factory. Almost picturesque details are the clocks at the entrance and the flower boxes along the windows. The factory grounds also include a boiler house with a chimney and an administration building. The building is made of red clinker bricks. It is not clear which type of construction was used.

History
The region of Upper Lusatia was a centre of textile production and weaving. This building opend in 1930 by the Consumverein newly combined weaving, dyeing and fabric finishing in one building. The building was apparently oversized, so that the factory building was used by Siemens & Schuckert from 1938 and companies from the electrical industry are still based in the building today.
The building is unmodernised, making it quite charming. However, the building is not in the best condition. A conservation concept for the building is explicitly sought.
