Market halls in Berlin

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

By the year 1900, there were 14 market halls (or market houses) in Berlin.

I, Zentralmarkthalle Berlin (I and II) Berlin-Mitte, on both sides of Kaiser-Wilhelm-Straße (now Karl-Liebknecht-Straße) near Alexanderplatz 1884–1886 and –1893 0016.079/1336
0013.281/776
The Central Market Hall I (as it was first called) was the first shopping center built according to the municipal building program. It had ice-cold storage rooms in the cellar area and its own railway connection to deliver goods. Until 1893, the extension of the central market hall was built on the opposite side of the street (Central Market Hall Ia or II). The Central Market Hall parts survived the First World War and the economic crisis to a large extent without damage, only in 1944 it was ruined. The Hall I, rebuilt in need of help,[clarification needed] helped provide the East Berlin population. Hall Ia was dismantled. In the 1960s the first market hall was also destroyed. Some parts were integrated into a new building at the same place. Markthalle I, 1896

All buildings along with the market hall fell into ruins at the end of the Second World War. While the residential buildings were replaced by new ones, the market hall was only rebuilt in 1962 and 1965 in its original form but with new materials. Until 2010 it served as the Berlin Flower Market. Schnittdarstellung der Markthalle II
III, Zimmerhalle Friedrichstadt, Berlin-Mitte, Zimmerstraße 90/91 1884–1886 004843/409 In 1910, it was closed down as a market place due to a decline in the number of retailers and leased to the catering firm Hoffmann & Retschlag. In 1942, the former harket hall also served as an internment station for arrested Jews. After 1945, the building was converted into a business building. Erhaltenes Fassadenelement
