INTEX Weißenfels

INTEX Weißenfels, Protected factory building in Weißenfels, Germany.

INTEX Weißenfels is a four-storey brick factory building at Weinbergstraße 15/17, built around 1900 and listed as a monument. Its neo-baroque facade quotes the form of a baroque palace, with a central risalit and two side risalits, each capped by a shallow volute gable.

The four-storey brick building was probably first used as an oven factory around 1900. At the start of the 20th century Willy Otto senior acquired it and ran a grain trade there; a paper wholesaler and Bodo Bergk's account-book and exercise-book factory also occupied it at times. After 1945 the state purchasing enterprise VEAB used it as a grain store, and Willy Otto junior became owner in 1961. A firework started a fire in the northern part on New Year's Eve 1981; that section burned out and was later demolished.

The structure displays early 20th-century factory architecture with its red brick walls and curved gables, reflecting the economic boom that shaped Weißenfels at that time. These design choices remain part of the neighborhood's visual identity today.

INTEX Weißenfels stands at Weinbergstraße 15/17, north of Weißenfels station and bounded to the south by Am Güterbahnhof. The four-storey brick building has stood empty since a 2019 theatre performance and remains in need of renovation, so it can only be viewed from the street. As of January 2024 its use as a new home for the shoe museum was under review.

The building's name comes from the Versorgungskontor Industrietextilien Weißenfels, a GDR-era industrial textile supplier based here from the 1970s, whose headquarters was in Leipzig. From Weißenfels it supplied felt to East German slipper makers and the shipbuilding industry, and also distributed clothing for the healthcare sector.
