House for sale 6+1 • 394 m² without real estateHagen Hagen Nordrhein-Westfalen 58089

The printing house and cardboard factory Bald & Krüger was built in 1892 and has since experienced a vibrant history. During World War II, parts of the building were damaged, and in 1956 the structure was reinforced, a new roof finish was applied to the top floor slab, and the reduced volume was restored to use. In the following years, factory operations were restricted due to noise emissions and eventually discontinued.

The good thing about this property is its versatile spatial program – it is not just one large, spectacular hall encompassing all functions but also includes separate rooms for various uses such as for children, sleeping, office, home office, guests, etc., comparable to a traditional single-family house. This means that you are not forced to have all functions in one open space at all times. In this way, the airy hall character can be maintained and showcased with refined, uncluttered furnishings.

The property is located in central Hagen, within the rings between Bergstraße and Bergischer Ring. It represents an inner-city combination of a backyard setting and block-edge construction with a fronting green zone, which creates a considerable distance from neighboring buildings and ensures year-round sunlight on the southwest facade – even when the winter sun is low in the sky. Urban infrastructure such as educational and cultural institutions, daycare centers, administrative offices, and service facilities are right at the doorstep.

The house is accessed via a driveway, at the upper end of which lies the fenced, surrounding property. An electric sliding gate with a remote control and a separate door (electric opener) regulate access and ensure privacy. Visitors use the new video intercom system.

Through the covered courtyard with a few parking spaces, you enter the two-story house section; a staircase leads to the first floor, which features two rooms, a passage room, and a daylight bathroom with a shower – this is not a self-contained granny flat, but a living area reached by two flights of stairs. Here, CAT7 data cabling and electrical installations for workstations or private PCs have been installed. Additionally, there is coaxial cabling (satellite TV) and a fiber optic service entrance.

On the entrance level on the ground floor, there are two further rooms, a daylight bathtub bathroom, a guest toilet, as well as the heating unit and house connections.

A wide staircase leads to the former enormous workshop of the factory, which features large windows facing southwest. The 20 kW stove is water-connected, meaning that water heated in the combustion chamber enters the heating circuit, thereby reducing gas consumption or even completely replacing gas.

In this 104 m² living area (W x L x H = 6 x 18 x 3.30 m) the open kitchen is integrated. The term LOFT is more than appropriate here. The 2.25‑m tall and 1.80‑m wide windows are equipped with electric aluminum roller shutters and interior blinds; the 70‑cm-thick brickwork provides summer thermal protection on the outside and creates a cozy industrial character on the inside. Data cabling and coaxial (satellite TV) connections are also available here.

There are two additional, unheated but highly usable rooms attached – a tiled utility room complete with a basin and floor drain, space for a washing machine and dryer, and a large hobby workshop/storage room with garden access.

The garden is reached through a naturally lit loggia featuring a vibrant, translucent “plant ceiling” – a dry transition between indoor and outdoor space. In the garden, you will find fruit trees (apple, plum, cherry), evergreen bamboo, lifeblood trees/cypress trees, and a large birch. A dedicated compost area replaces the municipal green bin that is not provided in the city. With four 300‑liter rainwater barrels, the garden – especially the bamboo – can be supplied with water for 6–8 weeks without needing drinking water. A water-permeable sun shade protects both people and the lawn during intense heat.

Three additional factory rooms in a charming, original state with an open, box ceiling offer 80 m² of space for bicycles, fitness, a workshop, garden tools, table tennis, old furniture, archives, an atelier, etc. – essentially serving as basement replacement rooms, but without the staircase.

The 500 m² large, almost unobstructed roof area offers great potential for economical photovoltaic utilization. Furthermore, the development plan permits significant additional density in both area and height.
