Salamander-Areal, Cultural heritage monument in Kornwestheim, Germany.
Salamander-Areal is a protected monument complex in Kornwestheim that combines brick architecture with expressionist design. The large brick structures now house residential units, commercial spaces, and an administrative archive.
Founded in 1885 as a shoe factory, the site grew into a major production facility over many decades. It remained a significant center of German manufacturing before eventually transforming into its current mixed-use form.
The complex preserves the industrial past of Baden-Württemberg through its design and form. It shows how a former production center continues to represent something meaningful for the region.
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 site has been completely renovated and now serves modern purposes while maintaining its protected monument status. This transformation shows how historical places can be adapted to work for contemporary needs.
