The old animal feed factory with the disused phosphate plant of the VEB Coswig Rüdersdorf company is an abandoned place that nature is reclaiming piece by piece. Filmmakers have also discovered this fantastic scenario and the area has already been the backdrop for some great movies, including “Manifesto” by Julian Rosefeldt with Cate Blanchett, “The Monuments Men” directed by George Clooney or “Enemy at the Gates” by director Jean-Jacques Annaud. We have some photos of the old chemical plant here, who knows how long it will be around.
Limestone was quarried here as early as the 17th century, including for the construction of the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin and Sanssouci Palace in Potsdam. In the middle of the 19th century, the demand for limestone fell sharply, as from then on concrete was mainly used for the construction of buildings. This led to a change in the concept and the foundation of the first cement plant in Rüdersdorf by the company C.O. Wegener, where production began in February 1900 and cement was burned in the rotary kilns until 1939.
The company Preußag then acquired the plant and produced synthetic bauxite from 1944 due to the war. Other owners were the Soviet occupying forces for the production of fertilizer and, from 1950, the VEB Glühphosphatwerk Rüdersdorf. Over the years, the factory was repeatedly rebuilt and high-quality feed phosphate was produced, which was sold throughout Europe under the name RÜKANA. In 1988, a total of 180,000 tons of animal feed were produced here. In 1999, the company had to file for bankruptcy and since then this abandoned site has been empty and abandoned. A perfect place for creative projects and of course interesting graffiti gets done here.

In Memory of JAKOB RIEMER – R.I.P. – (1999 – 2018)
In July 2018, Jakob Riemer, alias Şiyar Gabar, was killed in Çarçella, a region in the northern Kurdish Gever within the Zagros Mountains, in an airstrike by the Turkish army. At a young age, he had decided to join the struggle of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) and continue his search for the question “How do we want to live?” there. On the 5th anniversary of his death, this work of art was created in his memory. Above on the right you can see a graffiti from ROOKIE
