Something’s brewing…

The Malzfabrik – a place with history. The former malt house was already mechanized before World War II and only needed small repairs after 1945 before taking up its intended purpose again. The Russians had taken the heavy equipment and so a lot of the work was done by hand when it reopened in 1950. The old malt house was refitted with electromechanical units by 1960 and new buildings were planned and constructed. The unique building ensemble with its very own charm in the convenient location of Berlin Tempelhof/Schöneberg still stands today and fascinates through partly untouched industrial facilities, red brick buildings and its wide streets.
