Schirmfabrik Brauer, Industrial heritage site in Aachen, Germany.
The four-wing factory complex features rounded corners, dark cornices, and a flat roof, built in reinforced concrete skeleton construction with large rectangular windows.
Emil Brauer Senior established the umbrella manufacturing facility in 1882, expanding production to over 10,000 umbrellas per day with more than 1000 employees.
The building's 1928 design by Josef Bachmann and Alexander Lürken represents the Neue Sachlichkeit movement and Bauhaus architectural principles of industrial construction.
Located at coordinates 50.781111, 6.101944, the former umbrella factory now houses the Ludwig Forum for International Art after a 30 million Deutsche Mark renovation.
The factory's production hall features a shed roof in the courtyard, designed specifically to provide optimal lighting conditions for umbrella manufacturing.
