Historic warehouse on the Lower Eider in Rendsburg

In 1783, three packing houses were built at the same time:at the Kiel-Holtenau lockat the Rendsburg lockin the port area of TönningThe packing houses, which were similar in their construction, served as warehouses for storing and handling large quantities of goods such as wool, grain, coffee and salt. In addition, the functional buildings demonstrated the economic and political importance that the new waterway was to have for the entire state of Denmark.All three buildings are made of bricks in a timber-frame construction with three full floors and a fully developed attic. The front of the buildings is interrupted by a central projection in which loading gates are located. The two packing houses in Holtenau and Tönning have comparable floor areas; the building in Tönning is 77.5 m long and 12.6 m wide, giving it a storage area of around 4,000 m².
The Rendsburg packing house has a floor space of 29.5 m × 12.6 m and is smaller than the other two buildings.wikiwand.com/de/Eider-Kanal
