7. Workshops
The workshops
Use of the buildings 1939–1945
This area housed the arsenal's workshops.
They were built according to the most modern principles and equipped with the latest machinery. There was a metalworking shop, a carpentry shop, an electrical workshop for high-voltag, an electrical workshop for low-voltage, a precision engineering workshop and a saddlery where straps were manufactured.
In addition to maintaining the entire internal gas, cold water, and hot water installations for the arsenal, the settlement, and the barracks, the plumbing workshop was primarily responsible for repairing metal containers for ammunition.
The printing shop printed all the labels required by the naval artillery arsenals for the ammunition containers. The printing shop was equipped with two rapid printing presses.
1945–1947 Demilitarization and arsenal dissolution
Use from 1947 Tenants and owners in succession
Textilmaschinenbau Wahlstedt, Holstein (TMW), founded in 1949, produced circular knitting machines in the buildings of the former plumbing and metalworking shop.
In 1959, the Stuttgart-based company Terrot took over the now renamed company as a subsidiary.
In 1961 new social rooms were built, followed by new assembly halls in 1963. In 1973/74, the Terrot plant in Wahlstedt was finally construction of a tall office building and a large warehouse – only to be closed again in 1976.
The building complex was taken over by Simpex-Objekt, a company that manufactures furniture for
medical practices.
The former carpentry workshop was used by Benno Klomp Bau GmbH, founded in 1947, which
carried out construction and interior work. In 1971, Lüder Bauring AG took over the business, followed by the company Tischlerei und Holztreppenbau Jürgen Berndt.
The building is currently vacant.
The building used by the printing plant and the consumables warehouse probably had the
most owners, tenants, and subtenants, only some of whom are listed here:
From 1947 to 1954, it belonged to the retraining workshops of the state employment office,
after which it served as the Parco administration building (1962-1974), the distribution warehouse
for Oldenburger Fleischwaren (1975-1982), the Protestant Church's “clothing cellar” (1987-97),
as an AOK warehouse from 1985 to 1996, and since 2012 as a sound bunker.
