Löwe-Speicher, Historic warehouse in Wismar, Germany.

Löwe-Speicher is a 22-metre-high clinker-brick grain silo built in 1935 on Stockholmer Straße at Wismar's Old Harbor. It has a ten-storey central tower and a wide overhanging cornice. The silo has no intermediate floors and no windows.

Built in 1935 as a grain storage facility for the G.W. Loewe company, the warehouse became a major center for grain trade at the harbor. Its operations wound down decades later as the grain trade declined in the 1980s.

The name Löwe-Speicher comes from the grain trading firm G.W. Loewe, which built it in 1935; the neighbouring silos are named after the Kruse, Ohlerich and Thormann warehouses. In the GDR era the state-owned VEAB, part of the VEB Kombinat Getreidewirtschaft, ran the silo. Since 2002 it has stood within Wismar's UNESCO World Heritage old town and Old Harbour area.

The Löwe-Speicher stands on Stockholmer Straße at the Alte Hafen, beside the Thormann-Speicher. The 1937 conveyor bridge that linked the two was dismantled and is stored inside the Löwe-Speicher. The silo has no intermediate floors and no windows, so it is not open to visitors; the brick tower and its cornice are seen from the street and the harbour side.

The interior was intentionally built without intermediate floors or windows to accommodate grain storage on a massive scale. This unusual design choice preserves how warehouses of that era were engineered to maximize capacity.
