Lagerhaus Gutehoffnungshütte, Oberhausen, Industrial heritage warehouse in Oberhausen, Germany

The Lagerhaus Gutehoffnungshütte features a brick facade with white concrete cornices and two prominent stair towers dividing the structure into sections.

Built between 1921 and 1925, the warehouse was designed by architect Peter Behrens as part of the Gutehoffnungshütte company's modernization program under Paul Reusch's direction.

The building represents a milestone in industrial architecture, combining functional steel framework construction with modern design principles influenced by Frank Lloyd Wright.

The structure spans 86 meters in width and reaches 25 meters in height, containing six floors with covered loading ramps for freight trains at both front and rear.

The warehouse required a 90-centimeter thick concrete foundation with expansion joints to protect against potential mining damage, using 1,000 tons of steel in its skeleton.
