Palm Kernel Oil Storehouse (1885)

A Reminder of the Colonial Past – The only remaining building of what was once a gigantic factory complex is this storehouse (with its own dock). It was used to store palm kernels transported by ship from colonies in West Africa before they were turned into plant oil, an ingredient in margarine. The company went bankrupt in 1899. The complex was then used until the fall of the Berlin Wall as a mill, granary, and animal feed production facility. The monumental storehouse now contains maisonette loft apartments up to 1,000 square meters in size.
