The
bread
factory
in
the
Hausen
district
of
Frankfurt
am
Main
is
a
self-governing
facility
in
a
former
bread
factory.
Eleven
projects
share
almost
1500
square
meters.
In
addition
to
two
stages,
there
is
a
large
event
hall,
two
bars,
three
psychosocial
projects,
an
advertising
agency
and
a
studio.
The
bread
factory
at
Bachmannstraße
4
was
founded
in
1888
under
the
management
of
Louis
Lantz
and
Louis
Hoffmann.
After
1924
it
merged
with
the
Hausen
bread
factory,
previously
known
as
the
flour
and
bread
factory
GmbH.
The
two
companies
brought
in
useful
items
such
as
machines,
implements
and
horses
that
were
essential
to
the
continued
existence
of
the
factory.
After
the
merger,
the
new
company
name
was
United
Hausener
Brotfabriken
AG.
The
Frankfurter
Zeitung
reported
in
1939
that
the
Vereinigte
Hausener
Brotfabriken
AG
was
converted
into
a
partnership.
The
new
company
owner
continued
the
business
under
Vereinigte
Brotfabrik
Erich
L.
Fuchs.
In
the
factory's
heyday,
90
bakers
and
servants
were
employed.
After
the
end
of
the
war
in
1948
an
application
was
submitted
to
the
local
court
for
conversion
into
an
open
commercial
company
(OHG).
The
founders
of
the
OHG
were
Messrs.
J.
Scheld
and
C.
Fuchs.
There
are
no
further
reports
until
1955,
only
that
the
application
for
an
OHG
was
revised
by
the
two
gentlemen.
Mr.
J.
Schütten
from
Bad
Homburg
vor
der
Höhe
stepped
in
as
his
successor.
The
last
pastry
was
baked
on
April
15,
1972.
On
October
10,
1973,
the
company
was
deleted
from
the
commercial
register.
In
1975,
a
carpet
dealer
took
over
the
property
for
60
years
as
a
leaseholder.
However,
a
planned
carpet
warehouse
with
an
administration
building
could
not
be
realized
and
the
contract
was
terminated
prematurely.
In
1980,
a
small
group
of
young
people
from
Frankfurt's
spontaneous
scene
took
the
initiative,
and
the
bread
factory
welcomed
its
guests
to
the
opening
on
March
6,
1981.
The
"Market
and
Cultural
Center
Society
for
the
Use
of
the
Former
House
Bread
Factory",
or
"Muk"
for
short,
then
organized
theatre,
concerts
and
other
things
with
several
sub-groups.
Financial
difficulties
led
to
bankruptcy
in
1994.
From
1995
to
2005,
the
association
“Kultur
in
der
Brotfabrik
e.
V.”
(now
“musikglobal”)
organizer
of
jazz
and
world
music
concerts
in
the
hall;
he
left
the
site
after
long
arguments.
In
2000,
the
"Theater
Primadonna/Schwerer
Held"
and
the
"P.U.T.
Event
Stage"
were
added
with
further
cultural
enrichments.
In
August
2005
the
association
“Kulturprojekt
21
e.
V.”
with
the
Wikimania
party
its
cultural
program.
The
Frankfurt
Authors'
Theater
has
been
based
there
since
2007.
The
sponsoring
association
has
been
Brotfabrik
Hausen
e.
V.
It
was
founded
as
the
successor
to
"MuK"
by
the
users
of
the
site
at
the
time.
The
assumption
of
a
general
rental
contract
and
extensive
renovations
secured
the
existence
of
the
center
in
the
long
term.
At
the
beginning
of
2022
it
became
known
that
the
owners
had
plans
to
sell
the
bread
factory
to
an
investor
who
intends
to
demolish
the
bread
factory
and
build
apartments
in
its
place.[1]
Negotiations
are
said
to
be
well
advanced.
In
March
2022,
Markus
Harzenetter,
President
of
the
State
Office
for
the
Preservation
of
Monuments,
determined
after
an
inspection
that
the
bread
factory
can
be
classified
as
a
cultural
monument.[
