Old Slaughterhouse Building Bruchsal

The slaughterhouse was built in 1908 to replace a previous building dating from 1772, which no longer met the hygiene requirements of the time. The electricity required for operation was generated within the facility itself. The slaughterhouse was closed down in 1992. The building, which was built in Art Nouveau style, is a listed building.

Today the building houses the Bruchsal food bank, a restaurant and the "bad weather beer garden"
Absolutely worth seeing - interesting from the inside too. And the house to the left was definitely part of it at one time.
An industrial canal branches off behind the slaughterhouse on the Saalbach. The electricity could have been generated here - from hydropower, as Sandsteinklippe rightly suspects.

In the rooms where meat was once produced, the Bruchsaler Tafel now offers cheap food. In addition to a pub and a smoking bar, software developers, a catering service, a cleaning service and a goldsmith have found a new home in the old slaughterhouse. "Of course I know the bloody history of this building," says master goldsmith Jürgen Schoner. "But for me it is not difficult to bear. The building has flair and an effect that is incomparable."

The slaughterhouse in Bruchsal, built in 1907/08, is a remarkable Art Nouveau building. It replaced the slaughterhouse built in the city center in 1772, which no longer met the new hygiene regulations.
The slaughterhouse itself generated electricity for machines and cooling - probably using water power from the Saalbach stream that flows past the building.
The slaughterhouse was stopped in 1992.
The tower at the slaughterhouse is a cross between a chimney and a water tower.
The building currently houses several companies and the Bruchsal food bank.
