| The Fagus Factory (German: Fagus Fabrik or Fagus Werk), a shoe last factory in Alfeld on the Leine, Lower Saxony, Germany, is an important example of early modern architecture. | WIKI |
| Commissioned by owner Carl Benscheidt who wanted a radical structure to express the company's break from the past, the factory was designed by Walter Gropius and Adolf Meyer. | WIKI |
| AEG turbine factory by Peter Behrens | WIKI |
| The building that had the greatest influence on the Fagus factory design was the 1909 AEG turbine factory in Berlin, designed by Peter Behrens. | WIKI |
| The Fagus main building can be seen as an inversion of the AEG turbine factory. | WIKI |
| However, in the AEG turbine factory the corners are covered by heavy elements that slant inside. | WIKI |
| In 1887 Benscheidt was hired by the shoe last manufacturer Carl Behrens as works manager in his factory in Alfeld. | WIKI |
| He bought the land directly opposite Behrens's factory and hired the architect Eduard Werner (1847xe2x80x931923), whom he knew from an earlier renovation of the Behrens factory. | WIKI |
| Although Werner was a specialist in factory design, Benscheidt was not pleased with the outside appearance of his design. | WIKI |
| His factory was separated from Behrensxe2x80x99s by a train line and Benscheidt thought of the building's elevation on that side (north) as a permanent advertisement for his factory. | WIKI |
| Construction started in May 1911 based on Werner's plans and Benscheidt wanted the factory to be running by winter of the same year. | WIKI |
| By winter 1912 it was clear that the factory could not keep up with the number of orders and a major expansion was decided. | WIKI |
| Initially the main elevation was considered the north elevation that faced the railway and Behrens's factory. | WIKI |
| Gropius and Meyer were able to enforce only minor changes in the overall layout of the factory complex. | WIKI |
| The factory corresponds with the programme set out by its designers around 1910. | UNESCO |
