Alte Feuerwache – Old Fire Station

The old fire station was built in 1892 as domicile for the first professional fire brigade in Halle in Margarethenstraße (today Ludwig-Stur-Straße). Fire protection had previously been provided by a volunteer fire brigade. Halle was growing rapidly at the end of the 19th century and soon needed an additional fire station. The Feuerwache Süd, the Southern Fire Station, was regarded as the most modern in Europe when it was built in 1908.

Hotel Weltfrieden – Hotel World Peace

Hotel Weltfrieden was originally opened in 1905 by the hotel owner Rudolf Dietrich under the name Metropol-Hotel. In 1924, Dietrich converted the building and renamed it Gaststätte Haus Dietrich. In the wake of the financial crisis he sold it in 1931 to the brewery Eger, who managed it up to 1941 under the name Egerer Hof. In 1952 the hotel was reopened as Hotel Weltfrieden. It was the first HO Hotel (HO – GDR’s centralised trade cooperation) in Halle. In 1974/75 the buildings in Große Steinstraße 63/65 were incorporated into the business.

Schauburg

The hall of what later became the Schauburg was built by Otto Gisecke as a velodrome in 1897. This usage was abandoned after two years. The building received the name Germania-Saal in 1900 and was used for balls and meetings. In 1919, the used car dealer Gerlach & Co. opened its doors in the building. To this purpose the ground floor and the neighbouring building were converted. This displeased the proprietor at the time.

Vorderhaus Schauburg – Schauburg Front House

The Vorderhaus Schauburg was built in 1953 by the agriculturalist Carl Friedrich Rosch. In 1888 the house acquired a new use as a restaurant through the publican Wilhelm Köhler who began operations in the Gasthof zum alten Schwan. This changed at the end of the 19th century. From 1897 on, the Vorderhaus Schauburg served both as sport hotel and restaurant for the velodrome which had been built at the same time in the hall of what was later to become the Schauburg. The house was bought by the stone mason and sculptor Paul Gellert in 1918.
