The landmark-protected building on Thalkirchnerstrasse 112 dates back to 1904 and was planned as a railway gatekeeper’s building for the municipal slaughterhouse and stockyard. The building originally contained living and sleeping quarters for workers and train conductors on the ground floor and apartments upstairs. As part of the current construction project, 2 apartments have been combined into a single large unit. Together with another apartment, the entire first upper floor of the building is now available to house refugees. The expansion was carried out to a simple standard, without incurring heavy costs. The main considerations were meeting standards for preventive fire protection and landmark preservation.
