The former hat factory was built from 1922 to 1923 according to a design by Erich Mendelsohn. Mendelsohn was a friend of the Jewish Herrmann family from Luckenwalde. Four production halls, a boiler house, a turbine house and two gate buildings were built. In 1932, the father of the family, Gustav Herrmann, died. The Herrmann family emigrated a year later for fear of German racial policies.
From 1935, weapons were produced in the building. After the end of World War II, the machinery was transported to the Soviet Union as reparations. From 1957 to 1989, VEB Walzläger produced machine parts in the building.
Since 2011, the building has been empty. Gate entrance, event building, production building, boiler and machine house as well as remains of the factory entrance are preserved. The building is listed as one of Erich Mendelsohn's most important buildings.
