Sächsische Wollgarnfabrik, Industrial complex in Plagwitz, Leipzig, Germany
The Sächsische Wollgarnfabrik spans over 100,000 square meters of floor space, featuring distinctive red brick architecture with natural stone elements and steel concrete structures.
In 1875, C. A. Tittel and A. A. Krüger purchased land on Nonnenstrasse to establish a steam dyeing facility, marking the beginning of this industrial development.
The factory buildings, designed by architects Pfeiffer and Händel between 1888 and 1898, exemplify the Wilhelminian architectural style of German industrial construction.
The complex now functions as Elster-Park, containing residential lofts, commercial spaces, restaurants, and recreational facilities following extensive renovation projects.
This structure stands as Germany's largest industrial monument and represents Europe's most extensive building complex from the Gründerzeit period.
