Armee-Konservenfabrik

The building features industrial architecture with five distinct sections, including a mill, army bakery, vegetable processing area, butchery with kitchen, and coffee preparation room.

General Field Marshal Edwin von Manteuffel initiated the construction of this military food production facility in 1873 to supply troops with field rations.

The factory represents a milestone in German military infrastructure, demonstrating the evolution of food preservation methods for armed forces during the 19th century.

The facility operated with six steam boilers in a central boiler house and two steam engines delivering 150 kW of power for machine operations.

The complex included specialized facilities such as a gas plant, water pumping station for fresh and cooling water, and refrigeration machinery.
