Summary

[edit]
Description
Deutsch: Ehemaliges Abspann-, Umspann- und Umformwerk in der Alten Jakobstraße 91 in Berlin-Mitte. Es wurde um 1905 nach Plänen von Franz Schwechten errichtet. Die Anlage diente dazu, den in den Kraftwerken Oberspree und Moabit erzeugten Drehstrom in Gleichstrom zur Endnutzung umzuwandeln. Die Höhe des Gebäudes war an die (nicht erhaltene) benachbarte Mietsbebauung angepasst. Schwechten gab dem Komplex eine repräsentative Straßenfassade mit grauer Basaltlava im Sockelgeschoss und Backsteinen in den Obergeschossen, die durch Pfeiler vertikal gegliedert sind. Nach Abriss eines Hofgebäudes wurde die Anlage 1925 vom Architekten Hans Müller mit einem rückwärtigen Maschinenhaus an der Neuen Grünstraße ergänzt, der Elemente von Schwechtens Bau aufgriff, aber an zeitgenössische Architekturformen anpasste. Das Haus an der Alten Jakobstraße wird heute vom Stromanbieter Vattenfall als Verwaltungsgebäude genutzt. Der gesamte Komplex ist als Baudenkmal ausgewiesen.
English: Former electric substation at Alte Jakobstraße No. 91 in Berlin-Mitte. It was constructed around 1905 to a design by Franz Schwechten. The facility was used for the transformation of rotary current, produced in the power plants Oberspree and Mobait, into direct current for end use. The height of the building corresponded with surrounding apartment buildings (not preserved). Schwechten designed a representative facade for the complex with grey tephrite on the ground floor and brick on the upper floors as well as a strictly vertical structure accentuted by pillars. After the demolition of a backyard building, architect Hans Müller constructed a new machine hall for the complex, situated near Neue Grünstraße. He combined elements of Schwechten's building with more contemporary concepts of architecture. The front building on Alte Jakobstraße is now used as an administration building by the power company Vattenfall. The whole complex has been designated as a historic landmark.
