Ohlerich-Speicher, Historical warehouse near Old Harbor, Wismar, Germany

The Ohlerich-Speicher is a 34-metre brick grain silo on Stockholmer Straße in Wismar's Speicherstadt, next to the Baumhaus. Built in 1938, it rises seven to eleven storeys and holds 17 storage silos. Its height and brick mass make it a landmark of the old harbour, which has been a UNESCO World Heritage site since 2002.

The grain silo was built in 1938 for the grain, fertiliser and seed wholesaler Joseph Löwenthal & Co., with 17 storage cells across seven to eleven floors. In 1933 the Jewish owners, the Löwenthal brothers, were forced out by Paul Ohlerich with backing from Minister-President Walter Granzow, and the firm became Ohlerich und Sohn KG. After 1945 the GDR nationalised it under the state grain-collection combine, which used it as a warehouse until 1990.

The building carries the name of Paul Ohlerich, who joined Joseph Löwenthal & Co. in 1891, became a partner in 1895 and took over the firm in 1933; it was renamed Ohlerich und Sohn KG. The Jewish owners, the Löwenthal brothers, were forced out, and Otto Löwenthal, his wife and two children died in the Holocaust.

The silo stands on Stockholmer Straße in the Speicherstadt, next to the Baumhaus, close to the old harbour. It is a brick building 34 metres high with seven to eleven storeys, so the facade can be viewed from the street at any time. Since 2019 it has held holiday apartments, so the interior is not open to casual visitors.

Few visitors know that the building now functions as a holiday apartment complex while simultaneously remaining a subject of ongoing debates about proper naming and historical documentation of its controversial past. This dual role makes it a place where contemporary use and historical accountability intersect.
