The Historical Former Nachtigal Smokehouse, Eckernförde
The Historical Former Nachtigal Smokehouse, Eckernförde
The buildings of the former Nachtigal smokehouse were witness to Eckernförde’s traditional fishing industry. Following its closure in early 2000, the historic warehouse, together with the industrial production halls became vacant.
The main planning emphasis lay in a concept of preserving the architectural and historical appearance, while creating a new building function. Additionally, as further industrial use of the building was no longer permitted, a completely new role had to be sought.
Through complex and elaborate renovation, attractive apartments have been created in the centre of the old town, between the harbour and the beach.

A symbiosis of contemporary design within a historical setting
In the heart of the old historic town, an idyllic residential complex has ensued, fulfilling the most modern standards and tastes. Nineteen roomy apartments of the highest quality, complete with the sunny, south-facing terraces, looking over a green inner courtyard, affording lifestyle and access for the disabled were created within an eighteen- month period.
The new construction, in its detail and material fits perfectly into the traditional architectural setting.
The Nachtigal district forms the entrance to the historic town quarter. Having preserved the historical, nineteenth century warehouse in this way, one of the few significant reminders of the town’s smoking industry exists.

High quality Apartments suitable for all disabilities
The apartments, all with generous layouts of between 60m² and 120m², are equipped with extra wide doors and terraces or balconies. These all look over a green inner courtyard, which forms a meeting point for residents.
