The history of the house

is highly connected to the rise and fall of  Jacob August Beug's shipping company and his son's agricultural machinery factory. 

In 1876 the ship managing agent Jacob Carl August Beug built the warehouse as the first stone building at the end of Stralsund. It really looked like a fortress on the harbour islands which had been heaped  three years before. At that time J.C.A.Beug had 36 sailing ships under contract, the largest fleet, sailing under Prussian flag. 

Unfortunately, the company's founder missed the trend towards the steam vessel ships and with the demise of sailing ships , the company changed to the manufacturing of agricultural machines.

He was so successful and wealthy that his family could afford purchasing the “Landgut Klein Mitzow” and later the “Rittergut Udars-Lehsten, a former knight's  castle. They possessed many villas and and private yachts.

After the Second World War the company was expropriated.
