Description

The building to the south has eight floors, the one to the north only 6. The east side of the six-storey building is staggered in waves. All other facades were built straight, making the large window fronts even more prominent. The areas between the windows are decorated with reddish-brown clinker bricks.

History

The two buildings were built between 1935 and 1936. The former use of the higher storehouse and the six-floor-staff house is a story on this website. After 2017, the buildings were renovated, are used as offices and the roof terrace is to be made available to employees.
