City Meat Packing Plant and Cattle Market in Zagreb Designed by the Architect Walter Frese
Zrinka Barišić Marenić
Abstract
The southeastern area of Zagreb was planned as an industrial zone. The City market and cattle fair complex, commissioned by the mayor Vjekoslav Heinzel, was the work of the German architect Walter Frese. Since 2000 the complex has been reused for other purposes, mainly as a (sub)culture venue. Many derelict industrial facilities have been succesfully converted to new uses in Zagreb and throughout Europe. This article aims to point out the great potential of this interesting project of modern architecture which rapidly deteriorates despite protection efforts.
