Schlachthof Düren, Architectural heritage monument in Düren, Germany.
Schlachthof Düren is a two-story administrative building constructed of brick with neo-Renaissance design elements. Its double slate roof and prominent clock mounted on an angular projection form its most recognizable features.
The building opened in 1901 as the city's municipal slaughterhouse on Paradiesstraße. It served this industrial purpose until 1977, when its function changed.
The building's name reflects its former purpose in the community's food production. Visitors can still observe how the interior spaces were arranged to serve their original industrial function.
The structure underwent thorough renovation to meet contemporary needs while preserving its original character. Its brick exterior and architectural details remain clearly visible from the street.
A curved gable with obelisk finials sets this monument apart from other industrial buildings in the region. This architectural flourish reflects how the city viewed the structure as a significant work worthy of special design treatment.
