Lichtenrade malt house, Architectural heritage monument in Lichtenrade, Germany.
The Lichtenrade malt house is a protected industrial building with multiple stories and large windows spread across about 3,100 square meters of floor space. The rooms now house a library, music school, adult education center, and children's museum.
The building dates from the late 1700s and once served Berlin's brewing industry by processing grain into malt for beer production. After the industry declined, the structure was renovated and converted to support education and cultural activities.
The building has long served as a gathering place for learning and creative activities, reflecting how the neighborhood has transformed it from a factory into a community hub. Visitors today see how the space brings together people of different ages and interests for classes, performances, and cultural events.
The site is easy to reach by public transportation, particularly the nearby Lichtenrade subway station. Different sections are connected by stairs and elevators, making it straightforward to move through the building.
Inside the building stands a striking bright yellow steel structure that runs through the historic walls as a modern design element. This colorful addition creates an interesting contrast between the place's industrial past and its current role.
