Fagus Factory

The Fagus Factory, a shoe last factory in Alfeld on the Leine, Lower Saxony, , is an important example of early modern architecture. 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.
