Getreideverkehrsanlage, Protected cultural heritage monument in Walle, Bremen, Germany.
The Getreideverkehrsanlage is a complex of several buildings in Walle built between 1914 and 1929 for grain storage and processing. The site includes storage halls, machinery rooms, administrative buildings, and from the 1970s onward, a tall concrete silo tower.
The facility developed after 1914 due to rising demand for grain storage as large quantities were imported from the Danube region through Bremen. Heavy wartime damage required extensive rebuilding after 1945 before operations could resume.
The ensemble shows how workers and machines worked together to move grain at an industrial scale. You can see traces of this labor today in the halls and old conveyor systems that kept the harbor running.
The site is accessible by car with parking available in the surrounding area. Visitors arriving on foot will find it within a reasonable walking distance from the nearest train station.
The striking concrete silo tower was added only in the 1970s and today rises visibly above the older buildings. This structure shows how the facility adapted to new demands while reshaping the harbor landscape.
