About Friedrich Steinberg, Herrmann&Co. Hat Factory

This is the first industrial plant built by Mendelshon. Lying on an elongated site, the factory consists of a plurality of buildings in order to allow the dual production of felt and wooden hats. At the centre of the plant are the sheds used for wet processing, the dye works and the power station. Construction took place in three stages: a) the sheds and the dye works, which could be extended on both sides; b)the power station with the boiler and the turbine house, lying beside a railway siding; c)the acces road and the gatehouse. The finished products store beside the entrance was never built. The structure is in reinforced concrete girders with brick curtain walls; the roof was covered with a rubber-coated surface.
