Salamander-Areal, Cultural heritage monument in Kornwestheim, Germany.

Salamander-Areal is a former shoe factory complex in Kornwestheim, built in brick in 1885 and expanded in 1923 to about 77,000 square metres of usable space. It has a closed inner courtyard and an open courtyard enclosed on three sides, with a separate building holding conference rooms. The main entrance building, opposite Kornwestheim station, retains a working paternoster lift from 1925.

Shoemaker Jakob Sigle and merchant Max Levi founded J. Sigle & Cie. in 1891; the brick main building dates from 1885 and was expanded in 1923 to about 77,000 square metres. Production peaked in 1967 with 11,000 employees and 13.5 million pairs of shoes. Decline began in 1971 amid cheap foreign competition, and on 1 July 2008 the Salamander AG headquarters moved from Kornwestheim to Offenbach am Main.

The name Salamander comes from the shoe company J. Sigle & Cie., founded in 1891 by shoemaker Jakob Sigle and merchant Max Levi. Today the site holds a Salamander AG factory outlet and other clothing shops, and since 2008 the Baden-Württemberg land registry archive has been housed here.

The complex is accessible today as a mixed-use space with public and private areas. Visitors can explore the grounds and view the architecture from outside, with some sections open depending on current use or events.

The main entrance building still has a working paternoster lift from 1925, and the entrance facade faces Kornwestheim station almost undamaged by the wartime bombing. Parts of the third and fourth floors were repaired or rebuilt after the war.
